The Georgia Sierra Club is putting pressure on the Chemours Co. to publicly disavow any future involvement with a proposal to mine titanium next to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in South Georgia.
A different company, the Alabama-based Twin Pines Minerals LLC, has proposed the mining operation and is awaiting a permitting decision from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
