RE: Quite a mild climate: Must ReadMr. Beermountain,
You were almost dead on with the weather. Read the entire file on the Highland Valley Copper Mine. Page 3 discusses the weather. It is relatively mild.
You are also correct on your rhetoric. After reading this literature, I am convinced HPY will triump! Cheers.

Highland Valley Copper is Canada’s largest base metal mine and one of the largest copper producers in the world.

Concentrates received from off-site sources would potentially originate from existing copper mines as well as future operations currently in the explorationor feasibility stage.

Required Permits
In addition to the Project Approval Certificate that would be issued at the end of a successful environmental assessment, there are a number of other regulatory steps that would be required.
Appropriate permitting would need to be obtained from various provincial ministries including the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Petroleum Resources and the Ministry of Environment. Amendments to the current M-11 Reclamation Permit, the PE-376 Waste Disposal Permit and the PA-1557 Air Emissions Permit are likely to be required.
It is not anticipated that rezoning by the District of Logan Lake would be necessary.
