On Jan. 4, 2016, Kamloopsians will get their first look at KGHM Ajax’s full range of studies on its proposed copper and gold mine. The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office said Friday it has accepted the company’s application for environmental review.
The 180-day review process for the document will begin once KGHM re-submits its application with changes made during the course of a months-long screening this fall.
In an email to the company posted on the EAO’s website, project assessment manager Tracy James said the information provided by KGHM Ajax now “adequately reflects” guidelines set out by the province and federal governments, as long as some clarifications and requests for information flagged during the screening are present in the final document.
