The company proposing a copper mine in the Smith River watershed near White Sulphur Springs has cleared its first regulatory hurdle.
Tintina Resources Inc. received notice from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Monday, informing it that its application for a permit to mine has met its completeness and compliance review. That triggers an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Black Butte Copper Project — a year-long review process that includes public comment and likely public hearings.
