Invitation to Quote: Critical Minerals & Metals in British Columbia Mine Tailings & Waste Rock Phase 1
Press Release
Vancouver, BC – April 4, 2024 – A Geoscience BC Invitation to Quote (ITQ) has been issued today for Phase 1 of the Critical Minerals & Metals in British Columbia Mine Tailings & Waste Rock program.
Phase 1 of the program focuses on compiling information related to legacy and operating sites across BC and presenting it in a digital user-friendly dataset. Targeted information will include, but is not limited to, abandoned and operating mine sites, tailings and waste rock facilities, deposit type, geology, alteration, geochemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy and known infrastructure.
The Critical Minerals & Metals in British Columbia Mine Tailings & Waste Rock program will identify and test tailings and waste rock to discover if there are economic opportunities to extract further value from these mining by-products while addressing potential environmental liabilities in British Columbia. It is closely aligned with provincial and federal critical minerals objectives.
