[Click image to enlarge]
Imperial Metals Corporation subsidiary Huckleberry Mines Ltd. (HML) has suspended pit operations at the Huckleberry mine, affecting approximately 100 of its 260 employees. HML will retain the balance of its work force to continue milling stockpiled ore.
While HML has made significant efforts to reduce operating costs at the Huckleberry mine, the realized savings have not been sufficient to offset declining copper prices. HML will continue to work with employees and other stakeholders to manage through this difficult period.
Huckleberry had an excellent operating record in 2015 with no loss time accidents, receiving a reclamation award and a commendation for its work with the local First Nations from the Government of British Columbia.
