Sandfire secures water permit for Black Butte

Canada-listed junior explorer Sandfire Resources America, a subsidiary of Sandfire Resources, has been issued a water permit for the Black Butte copper project from the state of Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC).

The permits issued by the DNRC authorise the company to divert groundwater for use in the mining of the Johnny Lee copper deposit and to store high-water flows for stream flow maintenance.
