The regional government of Galicia, Spain, has turned down the environmental impact statement (EIS) for Aim- and TSX-listed Atalaya Mining\u2019s Proyecto Touro project, citing concern over the mine\u2019s impact on the Ulla river and related protected ecosystems.<\/p>\n
The company on Wednesday said that it noted a press release from Galicia, which said that a negative EIS had been signed and that it would be formally communicated to the Mines, Energy and Industry Department of the Xunta de Galicia."Proyecto Touro has been designed with a fully lined tailings storage facility, constructed downstream using compacted rocks and with a guaranteed zero discharge policy following international standards and best practice.<\/p>\n
"We are very surprised by the public statements made by the representative of the Environmental Department of the Xunta de Galicia," said CEO Alberto Lavandeira.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
