Any registered parties interested in applying for interested party status during the public hearings for the New Prosperity gold-copper Mine project have until Sept. 28 to submit a brief application to the federal review panel.
“While the panel will allow opportunity for general public input within the review, only those persons with Interested party status will be permitted to participate in all aspects of the review during the public hearing phase,” panel chair Bill Ross said in a letter e-mailed to all registered parties on Sept. 24.
Taseko Mines Ltd., Tsilhqot’in National Government, 13 First Nations and federal and provincial agencies that offer technical expertise or information relevant to the review already have interested party status, Ross indicated.
