There will never a large open pit mining operation on Gambier Island according North Vancovver-Seymour MLA Jack Davis.

Davis made the statement earlier this month in a speech on the enviroment made in the B.C. Legislature. _ .

“The government, in its heart of hearts, knows that it can never approve an im- mense digging, hauling and milling operation there,” he said.

“The public in the Lower Mainland area, and across the Strait of Georgia on Vancouver Island for that matter, will not tolerate the thought of tens of millions of tonnes of mineral wastes being discharged each year into Howe Sound.”

“In other words we will never have a big copper- molybdenum mine on Gambier Island.”

Davis said the government

should not ask the 20th’

Century Energy Corporation

exploratory drilling program | before coming to a decision on the issue, because the government will not approve the project anyway.

“We should tell the 20th Century Energy Corporation that this is the end of the road.”

“We should buy them out.” ;

Davis said it will be better to buy out the company now rather than wait until it is worth millions of dollars.
