Barrick Gold Corp., the world’s biggest producer of the metal, said a U.S. federal agency effectively lifted operating restrictions at a Nevada mining project which is the subject of an environmental dispute.
The federal Bureau of Land Management approved an environmental study for Cortez Hills, Toronto-based Barrick said today in a statement. The U.S. District Court in April granted an injunction restricting the transportation of ore and the pumping of water pending completion of the study.
