    SHH - Seen a lot of talk about this lately, probably worth a read of the below from 2014 if you're banking on the EPA approval for reopening the mine.

    Since 2014, environmental group Save the Tarkine has been calling for the suspension of the mine after it was found to produce 20 times more waste than was initially approved by authorities. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) then allowed it to temporarily store the waste outside the open pit for no longer than 30 months, and to continue mining operations whilst adhering to its environmental regulations.The company now faces legal action and fines for not adhering to the Supreme Court decision, ordering it to move 80,000 cubic meters of potentially toxic waste rock into the mining pit by May 8.
