Supreme Court orders Mount Polley mine to limit tailings it can deposit into storage facility.

Xatsull First Nation says it welcomes the court’s decision and will argue during a hearing in June that the limiting of tailing deposits should remain in place until the judicial review has been decided.

A similar storage site at the mine collapsed in August 2014 , spilling about 25 million cubic metres of water and tailings into nearby waterways.
