The lucrative colossal Colosseum Mine in California’s Mojave Desert was rocked Monday by a court order halting its gold- and rare-earth-mineral operations. The bitter court battle over the controversial historic site — which President Trump hoped would help reduce US dependence on foreign sources of such minerals — pitted its owners and the administration against conservationists who argued its explorations were causing environmental harm. 4 Conservations claim the mine is irreparably harming the Mojave National Preserve in California.
