April 28 (Reuters) - The Minnesota Supreme Court on
Wednesday ordered state regulators to reconsider some permits
needed by PolyMet Mining Corp to build a copper mine in
the state, handing a win to environmentalists and delaying the
project.
The state's top court ordered the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources to hold a new hearing regarding permits for a
tailings dam facility at PolyMet's proposed NorthMet mine. The
court also ordered regulators to set a fixed term for PolyMet's
permit to mine, which had initially been granted without an end
date.
