There is no big announcement coming on the BC government and an EA certificate.
No politician in the BC government has the power to award an EA certificate. No court in BC has the power to award an EA certificate.
BC legistlation is very clear. To get an EA certificate a company must submit a complete EA application package to the ministers for consideration. PBM no longer has a current EA application to submit. The BC government shut the door on that after giving PBM many, many chances to move it forward.
PBM has to submit a submit a new EA application in order to get the ministers to consider it. To do so, they must submit an application with a scope statement and a Terms of Reference document to be ratified by the various stakeholders. Several times the BC government has stated that they want to see an alternative mine plan. They have also stated that the economic assumptions used in the first application are now out of date.
How many times do PBM's shareholders need to hear this before they understand ?
Why is anyone trusting what John says ? Go hire a lawyer and have them explain BC's EA legislation if you don't understand it yourself.
The process is very clear. There is no backroom deal to be done. The legislation specifically outlaws such a deal. To get an EA certificate PBM must submit a new EA application package. Period, end of story.
