Canadas Empire Mining recovers full legal rights on Albanian licences.

By bne IntelliNews November 7, 2012
Canada-based mineral extraction company Empire Mining has fully recovered its Albanian chromite licenses, saying the Albanian authorities plan no further legal actions against the company. Empire won a lawsuit against the Albanian economy ministry in July 2012, while the ministry has not appealed this decision to the Supreme Court during the allotted appeal period, the company said in a statement. Empire has successfully argued that the ministrys October 2011 ruling to remove prospective regions from Empire's Bulqiza-Batra license violates the Albanian law.
