Taseko Mines has released a comprehensive economic impact study of its Gibraltar copper mine in British Columbia. The study, prepared by MNP, analyzes the mine's contributions since 2004 and forecasts through 2044. Key findings include:
Since 2004, Gibraltar has generated $16.3 billion in total economic output and $8.3 billion in GDP for Canada, with over half occurring in BC's Cariboo region. The mine currently employs 700 workers and supports 2,860 total jobs, generating over $4 billion in employment income since 2005. Government revenues reached $2.0 billion (2005-2023) and are projected to add $3.1 billion through 2044.
As Canada's second-largest open-pit copper mine, Gibraltar has produced 1.9 billion pounds of copper since 2004 and is forecast to produce an additional 2.7 billion pounds through 2044. The total 4.6 billion pounds could supply copper for approximately 25 million electric vehicles.
