Alberta halts coal exploration in mountains while consultations continue Poll Yes EDMONTON – The Alberta government has bowed to public pressure and paused coal exploration in the most sensitive areas of the Rocky Mountains while it continues to gather public feedback about mines. “In response to concerns from Albertans, all coal exploration projects on Category 2 lands will be halted immediately,” Energy Minister Sonya Savage said at a news conference Friday. Although the government stopped selling new leases earlier this year, drilling and road-building on existing leases had been expected to continue. Savage also said a panel struck to gather public input into the United Conservative government’s plan to dramatically expand the industry will be able to hear concerns about effects on land and water.
