Western Copper working with regulators to permit Yukon copper mine

Western Copper (WRN.TO) has begun engineering studies to determine whether it can modify plans that pushed regulators to reject its request for a water use license at its Carmacks copper project in Canada’s Yukon Territory.

A recent court ruling in the northwestern territory upheld the Yukon Water Board’s decision to reject Western Copper’s plans, forcing the exploration company to go back to the drawing board.
