Nobody likes B.C.’s new mining claims policy | The Narwhal A new policy is rules are here for staking B.C. mining claims — a changes required following failures to consult First Nations — but critics say it falls short on multiple counts

Contrary to industry claims, red tape not slowing B.C. mineral boom, finds audit Audit finds delays to approve dozens of B.C. mines were largely caused by market forces — not government permitting.

Is "red tape" really holding back BC mining? Politicians and the industry often blame regulations for slowing down a burgeoning critical minerals market. In reality, evidence shows that some of these mining operations aren't economically viable. #ReformBCMining #bcpoli www.biv.com/news/resourc...
