Montana’s Black Butte Copper passes permitting finish line
TSX-V-listed Sandfire Resources America on Thursday announced that the Black Butte Copper underground mining project in Montana, in the US, has received a record of decision for its permit.
With a mine operating permit in hand, wholly owned subsidiary Tintina Montana can now develop and mine the Johnny Lee deposit at the Black Butte Copper project.
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MTDEQ) has 40 days in which to finalise a financial bond calculation, which, once done, will pave the way for construction to start at Black Butte.
