Stop Exploratory Gold Mining on 49 Creek

Please don’t ruin our water!! We’ve been drinking and using this as our water source in family farm for over 120 years!! Don’t ruin everything our grandfathers and fathers as well as us have worked SO hard to have!

I am not at all in support of this application and will actively oppose attempts to develop such a project.

Stop exploratory mining in Blewett

Dear Honorable Michelle Mungall, As a resident of Nelson, BC, I remember all of the amazing work that you have done for our communities. Although your title has changed, please remember how much the community members of the West Kootenays believe in you and your power to ensure the safety and sustainability of all development in this area. Thank you for all that you do, we understand that you experience pressure and persuasion from all sides. Kind regards, Rayne

Please do not allow any further industrial activity in this watershed - at all. The exploration might be low impact, but if they find something, then the impact could be substantial. Why look, if you don't hope to dig? No mining ever in watersheds!

No to exploration.

Please refuse this application

Invest ones time, energy and money is sustainable way of living. Such as renewable energy, such as recycling and finding constructive way to deal with that plastic. Employs ones time, energy, money in ways to build a better living, to make the earth and the populatiin healthier. Dont use the ressources to "explore" and destroy the environment. Please. Kootenay NEEDS the protection not the exploitation.

STOP

I’m an stongly against this as this will directly affect my family and the area surrounding their home

You can’t drink gold! Let’s put clean drinking water before money please.

stop destroying the natural beauty and contaminating the water people depend on for day to day necessitates

Don’t do it!

We can't allow this to happen. It is our right to have clean water. Let's come together now:)

Stop issuing permits that compromise watersheds!! Wake up!!

A big hell no to any exploration of 49 creek

Its important to me to leave mining alone in this area...Im a resident of 30 years and dont feel like I have to justify....Do not mess with our water....period. I dont come into your back yard and disturb you.

I say NO! to exploring on 49 Creek. As a resident of 49 Creek I am strongly against any violation of the land whatsoever, especially for commercial purposes. Please people...Don't gamble with my life and that of my neighbours! We need to be able to use that water to live. “When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can’t eat money…”

Although a historic placer gold producer, 49 Creek needs a lot of consideration, study, and public consultation before being developed.

Preserve the watershed. The residents depend on it.
