Asturias extends Salave gold mine permit three years

The Asturian government has extended a key permit for the Salave gold mine project by three years, providing crucial support to the initiative. This extension comes after the project faced setbacks, including the closure of an environmental assessment. The company, Explotaciones Mineras del Cantábrico (EMC), is also seeking a "Strategic Regional Interest Project" designation, with a decision expected soon. The future of the project also hinges on a court decision regarding the local council's urban planning. The government's support is seen as a positive development for the mine's prospects.
