(White Sulphur Springs) Sandfire Resources America announced the positive ruling by the Montana Supreme Court which reversed a 2021 district court decision and instructed the District Judge to have the Montana Department of Environmental Quality to completely reinstate Tintina Montana Inc.’s Mine Operating Permit, of the Black Butte Copper Project.
The Montana Supreme Court granted the Company’s request for summary judgement allowing Black Butte Copper to move forward with construction of its highly engineered, underground copper mine, overturning a District Court ruling that had invalidated the mining permit.
Black Butte Copper now has all permits to proceed with the project.
