Introduction
Good afternoon.
Before I begin, I would first like to thank the organizers of Minerals South for the opportunity to speak to you today.
Congratulations to the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines for organizing this excellent conference and trade show. Events such as these help our industry share the latest news, learn from each other and also connect with the broader community – the theme of this year’s conference.
Earlier this year, I gave a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade that talked about the incredible talent our industry needs to succeed. I want to speak to you tonight about this, as well, with a bit more of a southern BC focus.

BC’s Mineral Exploration Sector Expresses Support for Mineral Exploration in Flathead |

 Vancouver, BC – April 20, 2009 – British Columbia’s mineral exploration community today expressed support for continued exploration and assessment of the mineral potential of the Flathead Valley. The Flathead has significant mineral potential value to all British Columbians that should be considered and evaluated appropriately before any land use decisions are made that may unnecessarily alienate the opportunity to understand that value.
Important scientific knowledge gained through responsible mineral exploration provides the public with a better understanding of the naturally-occurring mineral resource values in a region and the potential economic diversification and investment opportunities.

The initial meeting will consist of two sessions:
1) Exploration permitting and 2) Mountain Caribou Management.
MEMPR staff will present information on both issues, and will be available for informal discussion and answering questions.
In the case of the permitting session, the objectives are to raise awareness of recent changes to the process and the current expectations of regional staff, and to hear feedback on the system and how it could be improved. Land use staff will present draft Best Management Practices and operational guidance for working in caribou habitat, and invite feedback that will inform the writing of the final draft.
Upon the conclusion of the MEMPR session, the EKCM will be holding it's Annual General Meeting. Topics of discussion will include the upcoming Minerals South 2009 conference, the Core Storage Project, and review of other area initiatives affecting the East Kootenay region.
All members of the general public are welcome to attend the information session and the AGM.
We look forward to seeing you there! |
