Tahltan First Nation rejected the Latham copper-gold exploration project north of Red Chris mine
The B.C. government has rejected an application for an exploration permit for a copper-gold deposit in the Golden Triangle of Northeastern B.C, according to the Tahltan First Nation, which objected to the permit being issued.
"The decision maker conducted a comprehensive review of the application, which included a number of different factors, including the potential impacts on Tahltan interests," the ministry said in a statement. "After careful consideration, the application was rejected." “The province's decision to reject Torr's permit application follows on the heels of a Tahltan decision that also rejected the project,” the Tahltan Central Government said in its news release.
“As Canadian law moves towards the standard of free, prior, and informed consent, as recognized by British Columbia's enactment of DRIPA , Tahltan Nation expects that the province will take steps to ensure that mining companies are not granted any further permits or interests within Tahltan Territory without Tahltan consent.”
