BC’s Red Chris mine moves to new chapter

The Red Chris mine, near Dease Lake, north-west British Columbia, is moving to the next chapter with Australian gold miner Newcrest now the majority owner and operator of the copper/gold mine.

Imperial announced on Friday that it had closed the sale of a 70% interest in Red Chris to Newcrest for a final purchase price of $804-million, which was subject to debt and working capital adjustments.
