RENO, Nev. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the government to revisit part of its environmental review of a lithium mine planned in Nevada but denied opponents' effort to block the project in a ruling the developer says clears the way for construction at the largest known U.S. lithium deposit.

The ruling late Monday marks a significant victory for Canada-based Lithium Americas Corp. at its subsidiary's project near the Oregon line, and a setback for conservationists, tribes and a Nevada rancher who've been fighting it for two years.
