Record Ridge Mining Project Faces Appeal Decision Amid Environmental Concerns
The BC Court of Appeal is set to decide on Wednesday whether an appeal by West High Yield, a mining company, against an injunction on their magnesium project near Rossland will proceed. The injunction, obtained by the Save Record Ridge Action Committee, is in place until a judicial review in May regarding the provincial government's decision not to require an environmental review for the project. The company had planned to start work this month but is currently halted by the legal proceedings. The appeal hearing, which took place in Vancouver, involved arguments from both the mining company and the action committee. Melanie Mercier from Save Record Ridge expressed confidence that the appeal would not succeed.
