Xstrata throws wrench in the works at cobalt project--APPEALS ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL OF FORMATION CAPITAL'S ICP

摘要

Rarely do mining companies make headlines for objecting to a competitor's mine development based on its potential environmental impact. But in a strange twist to the environmental approval process at Formation Capital's (FCO-T, FCACF-O) Idaho cobalt project (ICP) in east-central Idaho- where the company has been able to bring onside environmental and native groups - Xstrata (XSRAF-O, XTA-L) has become one of two objectors to the U.S. Forest Service's (USFS) positive record of decision on ICP's environmental impact statement.
