Interested Party Status for 'New Prosperity' Review decided

In September - a call was initiated by the Federal Review Panel which is reviewing the 'New Prosperity' mine proposal, west of Williams Lake, as proposed by Taseko Mines Ltd, to apply for Interested Party status, as per the new requirement of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012.  The deadline to apply was Sept 30th
