About the Project

Red Chris is a gold and copper mine located in Taltan Territory, northern British Columbia.

This transition will create new, technically advanced roles and opportunities to work alongside global experts. We are committed to partnering with the Taltan Nation and local communities, ensuring the project delivers long-term social, environmental, and economic benefits.
