Taseko says WCWC defaming again

Taseko Mines Ltd. claims that the Western Canada Wilderness Committee has continued to publish defamatory messages about the company even after Taseko launched a defamation suit against the group. In an amended lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Taseko complains about a March 22, 2012, statement on the WCWC's website in which the group once again falsely accused the company of trying to turn a lake into a tailings pond. The statement also gave readers the impression that Taseko was using the courts to stifle free speech, the company says.

The dispute between the parties stems from Taseko's proposal to build the Prosperity mine near Williams Lake, B.C. The mine, if built, would cover the seventh-largest known gold-copper deposit in the world. According to Taseko, it would create 71,000 jobs over its 23-year life. The company has secured approval from the B.C. government to build the mine, but has so far been unable to secure approval from the federal government.

Does any one know where I can read the original reports from both the provincial and federal governemnts. Strikes me the provincial said something about the project would destroy some land on the project for eternity. I have asked Taseko several times through their web site about the location of the reports but have yet to receive a response.
