Cool manFirstHighland Valley is not a major polluter. It is scheduled to shut down in 2013. It is is about a 130,000 tpd mine versus Pebbles proposed 200,000 tpd so if you think highland Valley is such a mess you obviously agree with anti mining people that Pebble will be a huge mess. Yes Stikine is a salmon river but the mine has got all its permits from the Canadian Federals fisheries dept something the Pebble has not even filed a piece of paper with the US EPA so its unknown and speculation when that will happen.
As for the Similco mine site near Princton, yes the waste dump that you can see along side of the highway has been reseeded but the majority of it hasn`t been touched. I know as I have claims surrounding the former minesite. Also coming to a stock exchange near you is Copper Mountain Mining is doing an IPO which has the Similco mine. Rumour has it certain individuals that are smart are connected with it.
Won`t name any names but I`ve never said the HD group was stupid.
