KAMLOOPS — Mayor Peter Milobar still isn’t tipping his hand as to how he feels about the proposed KGHM-Ajax mine, even after returning from a tour of Eastern Canadian mining towns.

Along with Councillors Tina Lange and Denis Walsh, Milobar toured Timmins and Sudbury, Ontario, as well as Malartic and Val d’Or, Quebec.

In each town, the open pit mine was much closer to populated areas than what is being proposed by KGHM-Ajax.

Milobar says he was impressed with how quickly the monitoring equipment responds.
