The project would have been one of the biggest US sources of metals needed to build electric vehicle batteries and other clean energy technologies.
The Interior Department canceled the leases and other mining approvals after determining they were illegally renewed despite US Forest Service objections related to concerns that mining could pollute the wilderness’s streams and lakes with potentially toxic waste.
An Interior Department spokesperson on Thursday declined to comment, and a spokesperson for Twin Metals did not immediately respond to a request for comment.that it had spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a “state-of-the-art, environmentally sound mine.” It said the Biden administration’s decision to cancel the leases was arbitrary and capricious, and ignored the need to carefully balance environmental concerns with the need for critical mineral development.
The leases were first granted in 1966 and have been passed along to successor companies over the years, though no mining has taken place on the site.
