ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
The British Columbia provincial government on Thursday refused to issue Polish base metals miner KGHM Polska Miedź’s Ajax copper/gold mine a provincial environmental certificate, saying the adverse effects of the project outweigh the potential benefits. The news is a blow to the nearby City of Kamloops with it likely that about 1 800 contractors and 500 potentially well-paying permanent jobs would have been created.
