The firm this morning indicated it has received noticed that anti-mining and environmental activists in Argentina, where the company is focused, have taken aim at its flagship asset, the Amarillo Grande project.
The activists have filed a lawsuit before the Supreme Court of the Province of Rio Negro in the country, arguing for environmental protection rights, or Amparo, against the project. The bright side here, is that attempts to halt exploration of the properties via a preliminary request until the final decision was made on the case was denied by a Judge assigned to the matter.
