Major copper miner stunned by government ruling

Gold finished last week with its sixth consecutive gain, but the Federal Reserve could slow the metal, noted mining audiences manager Michael McCrae.  On Monday McCrae recorded an episode of Kitco Roundtable.  Fed chair Jerome Powell is giving a press conference on Monday. The Twin Metals decision was also covered. The Department of Interior cancelled two hardrock leases in northeastern Minnesota. Twin Metals has been trying to advance an underground mine in the area. The miner called the decision stunning and disappointing.
