Kemess Mine Hearings To Get Underway

Monday, October 30, 2006 03:57 AM

Today at one, the hearings on the Kemess North Mine project will get underway. The Prince George session will carry through to Friday, then a second session will be held in Smithers from the 20th through to the 24th of November.

Those who will be making a presentation have already registered to take part. The session here will get underway with a presentation from the mining company which will outline the project.

The key opposition to the mine surrounds the use of Duncan (Amazay) Lake as a tailings pond.

The mine would mean Kemess will continue to provide jobs. The current mine is set to wind down within three years.

The sessions will take place at the Coast Inn of the North.

Fill in the lake. It's not like the tailings are anything new.

15,000 years ago a glacier came along and carved out a low spot and left it full of water.
It is the equivalent of a pothole in the road, on the topography of the land.

Yes, but it is someone else's pothole not the mining company's. The someone elses should have a say in what happens to their pothole before the company dumps tons and tons of sulphuric acid in it, shouldn't they?
