New Prosperity ruling important for future BC resource projects – Taseko CEO

Last week’s Supreme Court of British Columbia ruling denying a First Nation’s legal challenge seeking to overturn an exploration permit for the New Prosperity project is seen as important for future resource projects in the province, base metals miner Taseko Mines president and CEO Russell Hallbauer said on Tuesday.

The court decision, delivered on Thursday, allows Taseko to proceed with investigative work at the New Prosperity site.
