I want to voice my support to the residents of Coxheath by urging Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) Mayor Amanda McDougall and council to deal with ...
This interactive map from Keep Coxheath Clean is based on the outline and landmarks as shown in Nova Copper Inc.'s exploration and mining proposal. The orange area is the proposed mining exploration and the yellow area is the proposed CBRM land sale.
There's been no transparency because this proposal seems like a backroom deal. For instance, did the copper company get to meet with the mayor and make its pitch? I would be surprised if that was the case. But did the residents of Coxheath have the same opportunity before it was to be dealt with at council?
I can tell you a thing or two about strip mining because I grew up in Reserve Mines where we endured a coal strip mine in operation for several years. It was a dirty, noisy and environmentally damaging mess that yielded little, if any, benefits to the local community. Then, to add insult to injury after the company had their way with us, it walked away from the local community and didn't pay a dime toward the cleanup costs.I also get the point about the need for accessing minerals in order to construct batteries, but I am sure there's an infinite number of more suitable locations across this vast country.SaltWire Network welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publication.
