The operator of the Red Chris gold and copper mine in northwestern B.C. says it’s going ahead with expansion to underground mining with the lessons learned from a collapse last year that trapped three workers.
The British Columbia government has announced a key regulatory approval for the mine’s expansion, allowing for the use of block-caving, an underground mining method at the facility that’s already operating as an open-pit mine.
