RE:My 2 Cents B.C. Mines Minister Bill Bennett has repeatedly assured Alaska that the new mines being built in the northeast will be carefully monitored and built to high standards.
He said the Red Chris mine has been repeatedly examined and is safe.
Bill Bennett's Answer - Feb. 01
“Red Chris is permitted and will be operating within days,” he said. “We have gone over their tailings impoundment facility six ways to Sunday … it has had a lot of oversight.”
Mr. Bennett said the Red Chris mine site is “completely different” than Mount Polley and he pointed out that First Nations in the region have accepted the design.
