Yellowhead Mine Proposed for Clearwater Area ‘Still Multiple Years Out’
Taseko says the project is still in early engagement, with a detailed project description due mid-year and site investigations set for mid-June.
- On Tuesday, May 12, Taseko representatives updated the District of Clearwater council, clarifying that the Yellowhead Copper Mine remains years from opening despite recent provincial priority designations.
- Project Manager Korah De Walt-Gagnon explained the mine is in the early engagement phase, having submitted its IPD last year and now working toward a DPD.
- Taseko will launch a site investigation program in mid-June to collect data for design and permitting, with work expected to run two to three months.
- Lyle Mackenzie noted the "pulse of the people in the valley" suggests many residents believe the mine is further along than reality, with frequent job inquiries.
- Community relations advisor Ursula Johnston noted the DPD will inform the "readiness decision" made by the EAO, while the project remains in planning discussions with the Simpcw First Nation.
