“It was a very, very difficult decision, this is not something that I took lightly, recognizing coastal communities will be impacted by this,” Jordan said in an interview. The government made the decision after hearing a “resounding” message from seven local First Nations opposed to the farms. The federal government is committed to working with industry on a “fair” transition to sustainable aquaculture, she said. The licences for the 19 farms were set to expire Friday. Nine of the farms have no fish, and Jordan said her intention is that the remaining 10 would not be permitted to add additional fish to the pens.

American Creek Resources Ltd.: American Creek s JV Partner Tudor Gold Intersects 1.215 gpt AuEq over 354.0 Meters Within 1225.5 Meters of 0.702 gpt AuEq (Hole GS-20-94)
All assay values are uncut, and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5m intervals.
The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1322/oz, Ag: $15.91/oz, Cu: $2.86/lb. Calculations used the formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.4835). All metals are reported in USD and calculations do not consider metal recoveries. True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

An enormous landslide that tore through a remote valley in B.C. s Central Coast region and spilled into Bute Inlet in November has put the beleaguered salmon stocks in the area at further risk, according to the elected chief of the local First Nation.
Homalco First Nation Chief Darren Blaney is planning to visit the slide area about 120 kilometres north of Powell River and 220 kilometres northwest of Vancouver by helicopter on Wednesday, but he told CBC News it s clear from photos that the slide was extremely destructive, pushing boulders down the valley and crushing dislodged trees.
