Canagold Resources aims to open the New Polaris gold mine in British Columbia, near the Tulsequah River, a vital salmon stream. The company plans to use a safer flotation process instead of cyanide. However, concerns arise due to existing mine tailings near a critical spawning ground and the history of heavy metal contamination in the area.
