Vancouver-based Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:BKM) is preparing to take the province to court over the government’s refusal to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the company’s Morrison project.
In October 2012, the province announced that it wouldn’t issue the certificate for Pacific Brooker’s Morrison copper-gold mine project. The company and mining industry groups quickly cried foul, arguing that the government’s move conflicted with the Environmental Assessment Office’s positive assessment of the project.
Yesterday, Pacific Booker announced that it had retained Queen’s counsel John Hunter of Vancouver-based Hunter Litigation Chambers Law Corp. “to advance litigation against the province of B.C. in connection with the refusal of the government to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the Morrison copper gold mine project.”
