Litigation Update

Speaking of which (the appeal originally filed in Nov. 2017 challenging the Forest Service’s approval of the mine), we now have a schedule for that case in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals – not definitive, but at least a general time frame:

  • April 4th, 2020, OPENING BRIEFS from Hudbay and the Feds
  • Approximately 60 days after that – about June 3rd, 2020 — OUR RESPONSE will be due
  • Oral arguments probably not until late in 2020 or even into 2021
