背景信息

历史

• In 2008, Taseko proposed a copper-gold mine known as the Prosperity Project (“Prosperity”) and initiated federal and provincial Environmental Assessment (“EA”) processes.
• The Tŝilhqot’in Nation opposed Prosperity, along with proposed mineral exploration and development activities in the area.
• 2010年，不列颠哥伦比亚省授予Taseko开发Prosperity矿的EA证书。 随后，在2010年，加拿大政府拒绝了Prosperity的联邦EA证书，并邀请Taseko提交一份修改后的申请，以解决与该决定相关的具体问题。
• 2011年，Taseko修改了项目设计，并将项目更名为“新繁荣”。 同年，Taseko用更新后的项目设计重新启动了联邦和省级EA流程。
• The Tŝilhqot’in Nation remained opposed to the 新的繁荣 project.
• 2014年2月，加拿大政府再次拒绝新的繁荣项目的联邦授权，并再次邀请Taseko提交修改后的提案。
• In June 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada declared Aboriginal title for the first time in Canadian history over an area of Tŝilhqot'in territory that includes lands near the 新的繁荣 property.
• 2017年，BC省授权Taseko在新繁荣进行现场调查项目。 Shortly afterward, the Tŝilhqot’in Nation initiated a lawsuit and in 2019, the B.C. Court of Appeal granted an injunction to halt Taseko’s site investigation program to allow a full hearing of the case.
• With the Provincial EA Certificate valid and significant investment by Taseko, legal actions resulted involving the Tŝilhqot’in Nation, Taseko, the Province of BC and Government of Canada. The legal proceedings have focused on environmental assessment decisions by the federal and provincial governments, provincially authorized permits for site work programs, Taseko’s proposed work programs, Taseko’s mineral tenures, and Tŝilhqot’in proven and asserted Aboriginal rights and title.
• In 2019, the Tŝilhqot’in Nation and Taseko agreed to pause all court proceedings and regulatory processes in order to enter into a confidential dialogue, facilitated by the Province of BC.
• The resulting Agreement between Taseko, Tŝilhqot’in Nation, and BC has established a consent-based model for any mine development in the Project area; 双方现在可以探索诉讼之外的长期解决方案。

新繁荣矿产权属与矿产资源

• The 新的繁荣 mineral tenures consist of a mineral lease and 85 mineral claims owned by 天子矿业有限公司 and located southwest of Williams Lake, BC, within the traditional territory of the Tŝilhqot’in Nation.
• The 新的繁荣 mineral resource estimate is described in a technical report entitled “Technical Report on the 344 Million Tonne Increase in the Mineral Reserves at the Prosperity Gold-Copper Project, British Columbia, Canada” with an effective date of November 2, 2009 (the “Prosperity Technical Report”). 根据NI 43-101的定义，新的繁荣不被视为Taseko的财产材料，自估算完成以来，未在新的繁荣开展进一步的资源或储量确定工作。 下表列出了新的繁荣先前估计的矿产资源：

Additional information regarding data verification, exploration information, known legal, political, environmental or other risks can be found in the Prosperity Technical Report. 由于新繁荣项目发展的不确定性，以及繁荣宝博体育自2009年以来没有更新的事实，建议在根据当前金属价格前景、运营和资本成本、适当技术等事项评估其结论时保持谨慎.
