Morrison Lake mine rejected by B.C. government 

DateThursday, October 4, 2012 at 12:00AM

Some good news coming out of Canada and some potential bad PR for a certain mine project in Alaska that sits on top of the world's greatest sockeye run.

Plans for a copper and gold mine in the province’s northwest have been rejected by the B.C. government because it could endanger salmon in the Skeena River.

The proposed Morrison Mine project was planned to be located directly beside Morrison Lake, at the headwaters of the Skeena River, the second-largest producer of sockeye salmon in B.C.

The government decision was only the second time a mine has been rejected in the history of B.C. environmental review.
