NorthMet Water Discharge Permit remanded to MPCA for additional review

By: Newsfile

St. Paul, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - August 2, 2023) - Poly Met Mining Corp. (TSX: POM) (NYSE American: PLM) ("PolyMet" or the "company") announced that the Minnesota Supreme Court, in a decision released today, sent NewRange Copper Nickel's water discharge permit for the NorthMet project back to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for further clarification and documentation.

NewRange responded in its own news release today that it "looks forward to working with the respective state, federal and tribal agencies to address the court's ruling," expressing confidence that the additional proceedings will "confirm the project protects water quality."

Today's decision is not expected to have any impact on the transaction announced last month whereby Glencore AG will acquire full ownership of PolyMet, subject to approval by PolyMet shareholders, court approval and other customary closing conditions.
