Raven coal mine

The Raven coal mine is a proposed mining project in British Columbia undergoing a joint federal/provincial review. It involves Compliance Energy Corp (a small Canadian mining company) and partners Itochu Corporation (Japan) and LG International (Korea). It is also known as the “Comox Join Venture”.^[1][2][3][4]

It involves 31 square kilometres underground on Vancouver Island between Beaufort Mountains and Baynes Sound and 2 km² surface works 4.2 km southwest of Buckley Bay in upper Cowie Creek.

The Environmental Impact Assessment was deemed inadequate, and a new proposal is being worked on.
