A state appeals court has dealt a setback to environmentalists who challenged Minnesota's rules on hard-rock mining. In a unanimous opinion, the court said on Monday, Aug. 5, 2019, the rules developed by the Department of Natural Resources are valid. Environmentalists argued the rules are too vague to protect Minnesota's natural resources. Two companies are preparing to build the first copper-nickel mines in Minnesota. (AP Photo/Jim Mone, File)
