Miedzi Copper backs off 3 exploration licenses

Miedzi Copper has rescinded on obtaining three new exploration licenses. The Canadian mining firm still holds 13 licenses in Poland, said the Environment Ministry in a press release."The company withdrew its motions for licenses for copper and silver exploration in new areas: Florentyna and Kaleje (Florentyna Copper Sp. z o.o.) as well as Buk (Wilcze Copper Sp. z o.o.)," the ministry said in a press statement. Miedzi Copper has recently lost rights to Bytom Odrzanski and Kotla licenses and the firm has filed a motion for further information regarding the ministry's negative decision. This news is in part a correction of information given by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, where DGP reported that Miedzi Copper had given up a number of their licenses.
