Taseko a Canadian mining company , is trying to implant a copper and gold mine , the New prosperity mine, at Fish Lake, which is very close to the tribal’s park border. The natives claim that because of activities such as hunting and fishing , the mine project would actually be within the boundaries and should respond to First Nation’s decisions.
This opposition threaten’s Taseko’s enormous investment ( $1.1 billion dollars) in the New prosperity project. Nevertheless, if we take in account a minimum of business ethics we can see that this project which was” twice rejected by federal panels and the federal government” actually represent a great danger for the Tribal park ecosystem with “damage to fish and fish habitat”. Furthermore I think that a threat to Taseko’s profits is far less important and relevant compared to the ecological consequences tied to the mine’s activity.
