Latest Sisson Mine approval leaves First Nations, conservation groups uneasy | CBC News
Polchies initially went to the site, about 80 kilometres northwest of Fredericton, to help the Wolastoqi grandmothers already camping out there to protest the proposed Sisson Mine.
Northcliff Resources
Ltd., a Vancouver-based company, says its open-pit tungsten and
molybdenum mine would create 500 jobs during construction and 300 jobs
for the 27 years it is expected to operate.
The $579-million
mine near the community of Napadogan would also have a storage pond for
toxic waste that would last for many years after the mine is abandoned.
The waste facility would require the damming of two fish-bearing
brooks.
