AEMA, coalition launch legal challenge to BLM Conservation and Landscape Health Rule
The American Exploration & Mining Association was joined by a coalition in filing a challenge last Friday in the Wyoming district court.
An expansion of one of the world’s largest open pit copper mine received an important boost Monday after Utah regulators signed off on a permit allowing increased emissions from dust.
Kennecott Utah Copper can now begin to actively pursue almost two dozen other permits that are needed for the mine’s expansion, including approvals for the conversion of a coal-fired power plant to natural gas.
