Mining’s outlook beyond 2013 is positive on new mine developments such as Mount Milligan currently under construction, which is B.C.’s first new mine in many years. The Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) project, which is a 287 kilovolt, 344 kilometre transmission line, is scheduled to be completed in 2013 and will facilitate the development of new mines such as Red Chris, Schaft Creek, and others in the longer term. In other regions of the province, several mine projects are in various stages of development although some need to overcome environmental issues.
