Ajax mine study finds minimal air quality impact
KAMLOOPS — Nearly 5 years, countless hours of research, and finally the facts are in. Everything you wanted to know about the proposed KGHM-Ajax Copper-Gold Mine, has been made public.
“We have waited a long time and encouraged our consultants to dig deep and leave no stone unturned. Now that we have the studies, we’re able to have those discussions based on the studies and science and work that’s been done,” says Clyde Gillespie, KGHM-Ajax Project Manager.
KGHM-Ajax has sumbitted an 18,000 page application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office, in its quest to gain approval for the proposed copper-gold mine, South of Kamloops. The report discusses several areas of concern, including air quality, human health, and the decision to switch from dry stack to wet tailings to store waste produced by the mining process.
