Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Operations (HVC) is proposing the Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension Project to extend the life of the operation, through an extension of the existing site infrastructure. The HVC Mine Life Extension Project allows for the continuation of social and economic benefits, while also helping to meet the growing demand for copper driven by the transition to a low-carbon future. The HVC Mine Life Extension Project would yield approximately 1.95 million tonnes of additional copper over the life of the Project.
Project Location
The Highland Valley is a significant area for Indigenous Peoples who have historically occupied the area and continue to use it today. The HVC Mine Site is located within the unceded territory of the Nlaka'pamux Nation, and the Secwépemc Nation also have interests in the area.
The HVC Mine Life Extension would be located at the current HVC Mine Site, approximately 17 km west of Logan Lake and 75 km southwest of Kamloops.
Environmental Assessment Process (EA Process)
The HVC Mine Life Extension Project is undergoing an environmental assessment under the B.C. Environmental Assessment Act. The purpose of an environmental assessment is to understand and assess the range of potential positive or negative effects that may occur over the life of a project including consideration of the environment, economy, social, health, and culture. The EAO oversees the EA process in B.C. For more information on the EA process and HVC Mine Life Extension visit the EAO website.
