Contribute →The Tenas Project is a proposed coal mine about ten minutes south of the town of Telkwa, in Wet'suwet'en territory in
northwestern British Columbia. The proponent has filed under several
corporate names — most recently rebranded to Telkwa Mining
Corporation. The EAO file under
project ID 5b905af23965330024d5b706 follows the project
across those name changes.
