Review the Executive Summary of the submission or the full Project Description itself. Then join in the discussion and share your thoughts.

Vancouver based Taseko Mines has been working to advance development of a gold-copper mine in the Cariboo-Chilcotin area for many years.

On June 6th, 2011, Taseko Mines submitted a comprehensive Project Description for the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project in British Columbia’s Cariboo-Chilcotin Region.

 

The submission of the project description is a step forward in pursuit of final approval for the project, which is expected to generate 71,000 jobs over the course of its operation as a result of a GDP contribution of $11 billion. In addition, government revenues from New Prosperity are projected to be nearly $10 billion.

 

If the mine proceeds it will create thousands of long-term jobs in the BC central interior and generate residual economic and social benefits for communities, local businesses, the province of BC, and Canada as a whole.

 

The New Prosperity deposit has been described as a “national treasure.” It is the largest undeveloped gold-copper deposit in Canada, the 7th largest in the world. With Taseko’s proven leadership and excellence in responsible mining, this project promises to create vital economic and social value that will continue to allow the Cariboo-Chilcotin region to thrive throughout the duration of this 20 year project.

 

As a further commitment to the environment, Taseko has submitted a new project description that includes expenditures of an additional 300 million dollars to ensure the project meets the highest environmental standards.

 

On all Taseko initiatives there has been a collaborative spirit with all interested parties. The New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project is no different. Please join the discussion around this new project.

Taseko mines has undertaken extensive research in support of the development of a gold-copper mine in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region over the course of more than 17 years.

    After reading the comments . I like it that the CEO has given the invitation to have open and honest discussions with those envolved . If anyone is going to dig their heels in before looking at the facts , then they of course are being bias . Let all be open and transparent . We can't go on " what if's " . Life it self is based on risk . We can't live in a glass bubble . Let all come to the table in respect and honor . Hiding behind rehtoric and opinions will not cut it . Facts is what is needed .

    I tried fishing in fish lake, The fish are small and deformed (large head and small body). Is this beause of the natural minerals in the water course? If so I would doubt that this was a serious food sourse of food for the local natives. I think the whole native disruption to the project is to get more funding from the governments. It would, if developed correctly not affect Teseko lake, which is and should be the primary concern. The benifits in my opinion far outweigh the posible environmental concerns
