Feb 6 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday ordered
regulators to reconsider part of the permit approving Lithium
Americas Corp's Thacker Pass lithium mine project in
Nevada, though the mixed ruling rejected claims that the project
would cause unnecessary harm to the environment or wildlife.
Chief Judge Miranda Du of the federal court in Reno, Nevada,
ordered the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to determine whether
the company has the right to dump waste rock at the site, a
ruling based on a complex set of case law. Du's ruling can be
appealed.
