It's not really very relevant. First, it doesn't say why the jury acquitted. It mentions two different defenses that were offered. (1) The noise measurements were not accurate, and (2) the case was brought against the wrong defendant (the manager of the facility rather than the mining company). If they acquitted because of #2 then it is completely irrelevant. If they acquitted because of #1 then it just means that the jury didn't believe that the measurements done by the Constable were accurate. It doesn't mean that there is no noise problem or that the noise is under the legal limits.
