CAA gold mine on Banks Island, B.C., has sued the provincial government after its mining rights were suddenly suspended in 2024. The company, MCC Canadian Gold Ventures, claims it was lobbied by the province to take over the mine in 2019 following the bankruptcy of the original owner. After investing millions to clean up the site, the company alleges the province revoked its rights without prior notice, citing a 'secret arrangement.'
