Huckleberry is a very special place- it is a copper mine that has opened during the reign of an NDP government in BC. Well, to be truthful, they were already well underway towards developing the mine before the Communists took power, but the Premier was more than happy to take credit for the mine's approval nontheless.
Huckleberry is a copper-molybdenum producing open-pit mine. The process plant consists of SAG and ball milling, three stages of bulk flotation, and copper/moly differential flotation. Concentrates are thickened and pressure filtered then are trucked to the port of Stewart for export.
