What happened
Dominion Critical Minerals plans to reopen the Windy Craggy mine, which is located in Tatshenshini-Alsek Park in northwest British Columbia. The mine was previously halted by the B.C. government in the 1990s due to environmental hazards. The company noted that former exploration sites continue to leach acid rock drainage into a tributary of the Tatshenshini River.

Why it matters
The proposed reopening involves mining copper and cobalt within a transboundary UNESCO World Heritage Site. The B.C. government must decide on park boundary adjustments and environmental mitigation for the project.
