Premier Christy Clark officially announced that a large mine expansion permit at the Huckleberry Mine near Houston and Smithers, British Columbia has moved the province one step closer to successfully achieving its mining industry goals under the BC Jobs Plan.
The Huckleberry mine expansion will commence in 2012 and will ensure stable jobs for the current 230 employees for another nine years and provide approximately 70 additional jobs. Over the mine life, Huckleberry Mines Ltd. will spend about $254.4 million on wages and benefits, (excluding contractors), $119 million on new acquisitions and $82 million on dam construction.
