VICTORIA – Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett today announced an agreement to acquire 61 coal licenses in the Klappan so that discussions on a shared vision for responsible management of the area can move forward.

"Fortune Minerals and POSCO Canada had held these assets since 2002 with the intent to further develop a mine but their development schedule was moving more quickly than discussions with the Tahltan Nation, preventing progress from being made on a shared vision for the entire area. 

“Developing a shared vision for responsible management of the Klappan is critically important to the Tahltan Nation, the Province and to industry,” said Bennett. “This acquisition provides certainty and solves a timing problem that was preventing progress on these discussions.”
