Shares of Toronto-based PolyMet, which are listed in Canada and New York, closed up more than 16%.
Wednesday’s 6-0 decision reversed a ruling by a state appeals court, which had said the agency should have taken a “hard look” at the allegations, including whether PolyMet might have intended to build a larger project.
