Aug 24 (Reuters) - A request by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers that the owner of the controversial Pebble Mine in
Alaska do more to mitigate environmental impacts of the proposed
copper-gold mine does not constitute a "delay or pause" in the
permitting process, the project's owner said on Monday. 
    In a letter dated Aug. 24, Pebble Limited Partnership said
it can satisfy the request for additional mitigation and that it
would submit a plan "within weeks."
