Taseko announced today that they have received the environmental assessment certificate for its proposed Prosperity Gold-Copper Project from the BC Provincial Ministry of Environment.
"Obviously we are tremendously pleased with the Provincial Government's decision. We put considerable effort and Company resources into the documentation and process and to have now received this approval is both gratifying and rewarding," says Taseko President & CEO Russell Hallbauer.
"The decision will undoubtedly be well received by the people of Williams Lake and the Cariboo, so many of whom worked tirelessly to make their views and support for Prosperity known and understood. The project was subjected to a complete and thorough examination by government departments, agencies, regulators and by the public. The Provincial process is demanding but it is also fair and we acknowledge the hard work of the Provincial Government in drawing the matter to a conclusion that will provide tremendous benefits to the social and economic future of British Columbia."
"The Government of British Columbia has authority and responsibility for mine development in the Province. Now that they have given their approval we will proceed to apply for and secure the necessary leases, licenses and permits required to advance the project," concluded Mr. Hallbauer.
A conference call will be held on the 19th of January, this will be to inform analysts and investors about the Prosperity Project .
