Teck, Taku River Tlingit First Nation, BC partner on Tulsequah Chief mine remediation

The province of British Columbia, Teck Resources and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation have agreed to jointly advance remediation of the former Tulsequah Chief mine site.

The Tulsequah Chief mine site, located within TRTFN territory approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Atlin, is a historic underground copper, lead and zinc mine, which was operated from 1951-1957 by Cominco, a predecessor company to Teck, and is currently owned by Chieftain Metals Inc.that the Tulsequah Chief mine needs remediation to prevent further degradation of the Tulsequah River.

This work will inform the final Tulsequah Reclamation and Closure Plan, which is being co-developed by Teck and the TRTFN, guided by the TRTFN’s vision for their future use of the restored site. “While Teck has not been the owner of Tulsequah for some time, we recognize the importance of all parties working together to progress remediation of this historic site, in support of reconciliation and sustainability, and as a reflection of the best practices of today’s modern, responsible mining sector in BC,” Maloney said.
