SkeenaWild Conservation Trust’s independent investigative report illuminates key environmental concerns related to mining in northwest BC. The Red Chris Mine, an open pit copper-gold mine in the Stikine watershed, serves as a cautionary tale for future mining projects in the province. The report dives deep into Red Chris’ monitoring data and reporting, accessed through Freedom of Information requests to the provincial government. This assessment provides a clear picture of how the BC Government can improve mining regulations and policy to reduce unacceptable risks to fish, their habitat, and the people who depend on them.
