Sept 19 (Reuters) - The Biden administration on Thursday
published an environmental report for ioneer's  INR.AX  Rhyolite
Ridge lithium mine in Nevada, the last step needed before the
mine can be approved.
    The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a final
environmental impact statement that sets in motion a review
period of at least 30 days before a record of decision -
essentially a mine's permit - can be issued. The BLM also
published an opinion on how a rare flower at the mine site can
best be protected.
