Excelsior Mining Corp (EXMGF)

[Revello]

Environmental Appeals Board upheld EPA Region 9's issuance of the Class III UIC permit to Taseko Mines Ltd for its Florence Copper project in AZ. Shot down petitioners' challenge to EPA's issuance of the permit.

I personally think that helps clear the way for EPA Region 9 to expedite the Class III UIC permit to Excelsior, especially since there is no local community opposition like Taseko faced with the Florence project.

The EPA Region 9 permitting office may have been waiting for the outcome of the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) decision, to ensure they could address any potential defects in the Excelsior permit application in the event EAB found a problems with EPA's issuance of the Florence UIC permit.
