Taseko Mines Ltd - British Columbia, Canada-based copper producer - US Environmental Protection Agency has provided the company an initial draft of the underground injection control permit for its Florence copper project in Arizona.
Taseko's project technical team will undertake a review of the permit wording, set to be completed within the two-week timeframe given, following which the agency will start a public comment period.
"Detailed engineering and procurement activities are well advanced, and we will be ready for construction of the commercial facility immediately upon issuance of the final UIC permit. The Florence Copper project will have one of the smallest environmental footprints of any copper mine in the world," says Chief Executive Officer Stuart McDonald.
