US judge dismisses Crescent Mine’s key CERCLA claims against Bunker Hill Mining

  • A US federal judge in Idaho granted summary judgment dismissing Crescent Mine’s core federal CERCLA claims against Bunker Hill Mining.
  • The ruling kept Bunker Hill’s CERCLA Section 113(f) contribution claim alive, supporting its bid to recover contaminated-water management costs from Crescent.
  • The court rejected Crescent’s request to force mine drainage, holding remedial action authority rests with the EPA.
  • Large parts of Crescent’s state-law trespass, nuisance, and negligence claims were time-barred; a narrower set remains for trial.
  • The decision did not affect mine restart activities, with first concentrate sales still targeted by month-end.
