Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSXV:BKM) responded to the findings of the recently released report on the investigation into the Mount Polley Tailings dam breach and the resulting recommendations for future mine projects in BC. Specifically, Pacific Booker looked at the recommendation that a tailings storage facility (TSF) shoe be based on a bankable feasibility.
As quoted in the press release:
Pacific Booker Minerals conducted geotechnical site investigations during 2006 and 2007 on the TSF for the proposed Morrison mine. The site investigations included approximately 20 drill holes, 9.5 kilometres of geophysical survey lines and over 15 test pits, along with geotechnical and hydrogeological testing consistent with good practice for a feasibility study and environmental application.
In 2009, Klohn Crippen Berger prepared a geotechnical feasibility study design of the tailings storage facility, mine waste rock dump, low-grade-ore stockpile and the associated facilities. The design covered the geotechnical, water management and civil aspects of the works.
