Trump DOJ Blocks Largest Copper, Gold, and Silver Extraction Site in US Over Salmon Concerns, Sending Stock Prices Plummeting.

The Trump administration has blocked the largest copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum extraction site in the US, Pebble Mine in Alaska, citing environmental concerns and potential harm to salmon fisheries. The EPA had previously vetoed the project, and the DOJ has defended this decision. The move has sent the stock tumbling, with shares of Northern Dynasty Minerals down 45% in Wednesday trade.
