Kamloops council may ask KGHM Ajax to help fund the city’s review of the company’s mine application — and, if council decides to make the request, KGHM is willing to ante up.
Council will meet on Tuesday, at which time staff will ask council members to finalize plans for the review of the mining company’s pending application for its proposed copper and gold project south of Aberdeen.
City staff are asking council to approve that $300,000 be added to the environmental services budget to cover the cost of hiring SLR Consulting to help with the review of KGHM’s application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO). While $50,000 was added to the environmental services budget in 2012 to deal with studying the Ajax application, only $26,500 remains.
