BC Firm Seeks to Mine in Tatshenshini World Heritage Site

British Columbia company Dominion Critical Minerals wants to reopen a copper and cobalt mining project inside Tatshenshini Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Freedom of information documents show the project was previously deemed too hazardous in the 1990s, when proposals there were shelved partly to protect the park's designation. The plan raises questions over conservation commitments and whether a protected area could host industrial mining again.
Why now: A World Heritage park potentially reopening to hazardous mining is a striking conservation controversy.
