Alaskan tribes and groups sue to block BC mine, citing threats to salmon and outdated environmental reviews.

Alaskan tribes and environmental groups are suing to block a proposed gold and copper mine in British Columbia, arguing it threatens salmon rivers and has outdated environmental assessments.

The lawsuit calls for the mine's environmental approval to be overturned, requiring the company to restart the regulatory process.
