Pacific Booker hammered by BC government's permit denial

摘要

In a rare move, the B.C. Liberal government has denied developer Pacific Booker Minerals (BKM-T, PBM-X) an environmental assessment certificate for its wholly owned Morrison copper-gold project, 65 km northeast of Smithers, B.C. The decision marks only the second time in the province's history that a government issued a permit rejection on a proposed mining project - the first involved Northgate Minerals and its Kemess North copper-gold expansion, 430 km northwest of Prince George in late 2007.
