flag Montana Supreme Court clears way for Black Butte Copper mine, rejecting need for extra water permit.

flag The Montana Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Tintina Montana, allowing the Black Butte Copper Project to proceed without an additional water permit. flag Environmental groups argued that the mine's dewatering process required a permit, but the court determined that this activity does not qualify as a "beneficial use" of water under state law. flag This decision, supported by five justices, clears a key legal hurdle for the mining project but has been met with disappointment from environmental organizations concerned about impacts on water resources.
