Ajax reaction pours in
KAMLOOPS — Reaction has been swift to the provincial government’s decision not to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the KGHM Ajax mine project.
Environmental and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman and Energy, Mines and Petroleum Minister Michelle Mungall cited environmental effects and effects to Indigenous heritage as some of the major reasons.
“We’re very disappointed, of course,” said Project Manager for KGHM Ajax Chris Wild. “We’ve put so much work into getting to this point. It’s been six years of hard work and lots of people involved.”
