Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Morrison Copper-Gold Project – Invitation to Comment

Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (the Proponent) is proposing the construction and operation of the Morrison Copper-Gold Project (the Project), an open pit copper-gold-molybdenum mine, located approximately 65 kilometres northeast of Smithers and 35 kilometres north of the Village of Granisle, in British Columbia (B.C.).
