Stop Sisson Mine Coalition Rises

A dozen groups have formed the Stop Sisson Mine Coalition to halt a $580 million mining project in New Brunswick, warning it could devastate water quality and generate massive waste. Fast-tracked by the federal government last November for economic and national security reasons, the mine—first proposed in 2013—was revived after China’s dominance in the tungsten market spurred North America to secure its own supply. Backed by $28.2 million in U.S. and provincial funding for feasibility studies, the project faces fierce opposition from environmentalists and First Nations who’ve long warned of its ecological toll. This is a high-stakes clash between economic ambition and environmental preservation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
