Southern Empire Resources (SMP) has advanced permitting at the Oro Cruz Project in California.

The U.S. Army’s Corps of Engineers issued an Approved Jurisdictional Determination for the project. This was conducted to identify how much authority the Corps of Engineers would have over the project site. The determination is valid for five years.

CEO Dale Wallster sat down with Daniella Atkinson to discuss the news.
