Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K)
Kinross Gold Corp is also headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and with its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition, exploration, extraction, and processing of gold-containing ore.
This morning, Chile’s Supreme Court upheld an environmental order for a gold mine owned by Kinross to close up its water pumping wells.
The report said:
“The environmental watchdog, known locally as the SMA, initially ordered that the wells serving the Maricunga mine be shut down in 2016. The ruling was challenged by Kinross in Chile’s environmental tribunal and then in the country’s highest court. The Supreme Court on Wednesday backed the original order, pointing to the ‘inadequate management of unforeseen environmental impacts on the Pantanillo-Ciénaga Redonda basin,’ which is located in Chile’s northern Atacama desert.”
According to Yahoo Finance, the gold penny stock is currently trading at $3.79 a share, up $0.08 (+2.16%).
