New mines
New minesOops - it seems I forgot BC's most recent mine opening - Roca's Max mine at Trout Lake. However, that deposit, like the others I mentioned, was discovered quite some time ago. A new mine nevertheless! Merit Mining also reopened a gold mine near Greenwood but it's a pretty small operation as I understand it.
Currently, potential future producers by my count include Galore Creek (or not!), Schaft Creek, Red Chris, Tulsequah Chief and Kutcho Creek. (I see a trend here...maybe BC mining IS "up the Creek" - lol ). Adanac Moly and Mitchell (Seabridge) are maybe other contenders, but we can likely rule out Kemess North (shame!).
There have of course been some new coal and industrial minerals mines/quarries but I don't track those so closely.
