Date:
Monday, May 19, 2008 (All day) 
The proposed Catface copper mine encompasses a 4,000 ha area on Catface Mountain in Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Clayoquot Sound is a United Nations (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve, and has been a cultural flash point for First Nations and a conservation hot-spot since the early 1980s. Catface Mountain is in Ahousaht First Nation territory and is a sacred place to the Ahousaht Nation. It is located 13 kilometres from the world famous fishing and tourism destination town of Tofino, BC, and offers a stunning view-scape. The mine is located in a position that will maximise its visibility from population and tourism centres.
