The Vancouver branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum has invited Thomas Milner, chief operating officer of Taseko Mines, to discuss efforts to bring the Gibraltar copper mine back into production.
Milner will do so at a luncheon on May 26 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Gibraltar shut down in late 1998 because of low copper prices. Taseko acquired it a year later and kept a management team in place to restart the mine once copper prices improved, which they did in early 2004.
The first shipment of concentrate occurred at year-end.
A reception begins at 11:30 PST. The cost is $35 for members, $50 for non-members, and $12 for students.
To reserve a seat, e-mail Maria Rollke at anamaria.rollke@amec.com
