The Raven coal mine is a proposed mining project in British Columbia undergoing a joint federal/provincial review. It involves Compliance Energy Corp (a small Canadian mining company) and partners Itochu Corporation (Japan) and LG International (Korea). It is also known as the “Comox Join Venture”.[1][2][3][4]
It involves 31 square kilometres underground on Vancouver Island between Beaufort Mountains and Baynes Sound and 2 km2 surface works 4.2 km southwest of Buckley Bay in upper Cowie Creek.
The Environmental Impact Assessment was deemed inadequate, and a new proposal is being worked on.
