SMM9, March 16 -: Sandfire Resources America has been approved to carry out the first phase of its Montana copper mine, and it is reported that last month the company received a mining license issued by the country's environmental quality department.

At present, Sandfire Resources America can start building roads and reservoirs, and the company will continue to apply for permits for underground tunnel construction as well as mining and mineral processing.

The Montana copper mine is located near Sheep Creek, the main tributary of the Smith River.

The copper mine, which is part of the Black Butte Copper Project project, has previously been opposed by a number of groups and institutions, mainly because of disputes over the environmental impact of the mine's construction.
