Pro-and anti-mining forces are clashing once again over a proposed copper-gold mine in northern BC.
On Monday Taseko Mines, the proponent of the New Prosperity mining project, said it has started legal action against people it alleges have obstructed preparations at the minesite.
In response, the Tsilhqot’in Nation filed an injunction against the company “to halt its plans for extensive road-building, drilling, excavation of test pits, and timber clearing in support of its unprecedented and controversial resubmitted bid for approval of its soundly rejected Prosperity Mine project,” the Tsilhqot’in, which represents six First Nations, stated in a press release.
