Tahltan government says it wants gold, copper and silver mines out of the territory – APTN News
The Tahltan Central Government say it wants gold, copper and silver mining company out of the territory.
The nation in Northern B.C. says they will be taking steps to stop Doubleview Gold Corp. operations on their unceded lands.
In a written statement released on March 17, the nation said that Doubleview’s mineral claims are in a culturally sensitive area.
The statement said the company has not operated by the framework that applies to mineral exploration in their territory.
Chad Norman Day, president of the central government, highlighted the bad relationship with the government.
“Tahltans take pride in working meaningfully with industry partners and the Province, but this company has continually been disrespectful and resistant to following the protocols and processes we have in place with mineral exploration companies throughout Tahltan Territory,” he said.
“We will be taking all actions necessary to protect our land and resources, including keeping Doubleview from pursuing their interests in our Territory any further.”
