Kamloops Councillors dig for information on eastern mine tour
KAMLOOPS — Three Kamloops City Councillors are getting a good look at how mining operations can impact nearby communities.
Mayor Peter Milobar, and Councillors Tina Lange and Denis Walsh continue their open-pit mine tour out east having spent the day in Timmins, Ontario on Saturday.
The tour is hoped to assist in the analysis of the proposed KGHM-Ajax project here at home.
The council members witnessed a blast inside the pit at the Goldcorp mine site. Mayor Milobar said he expected the mine to cause more of a disruption.
