McEwen Copper Inc., a subsidiary of McEwen Mining Inc., announced on December 3, 2024, the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for its Los Azules copper project in San Juan, Argentina. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) represents a key permitting milestone for the project's construction and future operation.
The EIS was issued by the San Juan Provincial Government's Ministry of Mines after a thorough review of over three thousand pages of documentation, including public consultation and a site visit. This approval establishes a solid foundation for responsible development of the project.
With the EIA approval in place, Los Azules is advancing towards the publication of a definitive feasibility study, which is expected in the first half of 2025. The project has the potential to begin construction as early as 2026, positioning McEwen Copper at the forefront of sustainable mining with a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2038.
