So If all these new arguments now raised in this article are purportedly correct and legal, how come the EPA with their open-ended budget for cases didn't raise them in the first place? Aren't they experts? Haven't they been on this case for years? Didn't they disclose that any such Tailing pond leak was highly unlikely? Based on old tech making it even less likely?

With each extension comes more raised Judicial eyebrows. How many more extensions will be granted? Time is running short. One thing all this wrangling does is substantiates the State of Alaska's rationale for going direct to SCOTUS for infringement on state's rights. So I bet the case is accepted. Remember, the possibility of a tailings area leak was low based on old tech. With new tech by

Incorrect new misinformed account. The USACE can do nothing until SCOTUS concludes their review IF they will even consider reviewing Alaska's motion. Irrespective of any outcome: 22-years. 1 billion spent. No Feasibility Study releasing proven/probable reserves, no value established, no permits(+60 required) prior to Alaska legislative vote, no financing, incorrect mine plan, no interest

Throwing spaghetti at the wall? Do you think Anglo Ashanti (one of the world's largest major miners) was unaware of the process ? ( i.e. order in which necessary steps needed to be taken? They were involved until politics against the mine rendered their efforts best directed elsewhere. The new paradigm of resource inflation has reopened interest. If the permit goes forward there will be a rush

SCOTUS doesn't issue permits.  The USACE issues ONE PERMIT of consequence; a 404 permit which cannot be issued under EPA veto or any time soon IF EPA's veto is someone recinded.   The project requires +60 permits and authorizations prior to Alaska legislative vote.  ZERO issued to date.  Current mine plan uneconomic. New EIS. Underground only. Cominco, Teck

Carefully reread the above post before launching into who's misinformed. I'm way ahead of you. The Scotus venue is correct for multiple reasons.

What does that mean Mr. New account?

[5Patrick5]

It means I clearly understand the permitting process and granny's calling you up from your basement laptop to eat your bowl of cocoa puffs junior.

[5Patrick5]

Recision of veto obviously. No one said final permit. "Permitted" to move forward.  Ok honey?

[RealityCheck123]

Go Granny go, but Granny don't know. Incorrect. They have never been stopped from permitting. A new Operating/Mine Plan (POO) can be submitted to the USACE at any time based from the new PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT (PEA).  They could also submit all their Local and State permit applications.  Point being your statement in context of regulatory permitting is inadequate. Are

Congrats on flying so low, close to the minutiae. I'm at 35,000 where the view is clearer. Keep playing Trivial Pursuit though. You're good at it...and why are you here exactly?

[RealityCheck123]

A better question from the board is why did you establish a new account to troll?  Could you imagine if any proponent employee(s), investment firm or royalty owner were caught trolling/spamming various stock boards?  Easy for the SEC to investigate.

[5Patrick5]

Oh nobody here has an interest? OMG that is so stupid. I wouldn't break the law to joust with a fool, trust me.

Thank you for confirming your new trolling account. The other questions were not specifically directed towards you.  They were posed to the board in general, but given your hostile response the board is suspect. Please continue to demonstrate your lack of regulatory, mineral development and mining knowledge.
