Taseko scales back Gibraltar ops as BC wildfires complicate employee commutes

Base metals producer Taseko Mines has scaled back mining and milling operations at its cornerstone Gibraltar mine, in response to the severe wildfire conditions in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. The Vancouver-based company reported that despite there not being any fires in the immediate vicinity of Gibraltar and receiving supplies not being an issue at this time, the severity of the situation has impacted its employees’ ability to travel to the mine.
