The Tsilhqot’in Nation and Taseko mines are working with the B.C. Government to resolve a long standing conflict.
The conflict is over the proposed New Prosperity gold-cooper mine project southwest of Williams Lake.
The First Nation and the mining company have agreed to pause certain litigation and regulatory matters while discussions are underway to reach a long-term solution. The Province is showing its support by considering a request to extend the project’s current environmental assessment certificate for one year.
The New Prosperity project has been the subject of ongoing litigation over several years.
