This will be a major haul road to for the 300 tonne trucks so that means they will be developing another open pit which means more jobs for the guys allready there and another ten year mine plan.Plus ill be a contractor so I dont have to deal with the union allthough they want us to pay dues to work on the property.
I saw in the newspaper (Vanc. Prov.) an ad for an accountant. The ad stated that the mine (Copper Mountain) will be re-opening - but it said the position would start mid 2011. I am assuming that they will be hiring people soon enough as the ad states that it will be a $438 Million project and the third largest copper mine in Canada. Everyone in my family but me, once lived at Copper Mtn but the mine closed. My brother tells me though that they drilled through (or something like that) to the other side of the mountain and the mine now lays on the Hope Princeton Hwy. He of course, like me, does not know if they mean Copper Mountain proper or the new mine that was closed down just a few years ago. So - I don't know if it will help anyone get work of other kinds or how soon people will get work but this is the address they are giving for accountants to apply:
Copper Mountain Mining Corporation
Suite 550 - 800 West Pender Street
Vancouver, BC V6C 2V6
There is also an email address:
rod@CuMtn.com Phone 604-681-5910
It appears this person is the Chief Financial Officer but perhaps he can tell people where they can apply for other positions.
I think the ad is about a week old. I only ripped it out of the paper as a matter of interest to my family. I have never been to Copper Mountain myself.
