Campbell River, BC; 15 December 2023;

On 18 December, 2023 it was announced that this Vancouver Island mining and milling operation that employs 450 people is “no longer financially viable,” and closed indefinitely.
It is being placed on what the company describes as long-term care and maintenance.
The Myra Falls Mine has operated about 90 kilometres southwest of Campbell River since 1965 and has undergone substantial modernizations and new majority ownership since 2019.
Higher operating costs and lower metal prices, however, have pushed it to seek creditor protection so the company can be restructured, it said in a Monday statement.
