If you are interested or know someone who might be, apply on the Taseko website!

Taseko thanks the team at for their exceptional efforts in spearheading an employee-led initiative to support the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s campaign!

Throughout two weeks in May, Gibraltar employees organized on-site BBQs and events, rallying together to raise nearly $7,400. Gibraltar is honored to match these fundraising endeavors, as is Taseko, resulting in a grand total of $22,200 contributed to Mining for Miracles!

Taseko looks forward to hosting 50 students from BC this week at Gibraltar!

As a part of ’s Regional Spotlight Careers Program, students from Cariboo-Chilcotin (SD 27), Prince George (SD 57), Quesnel (SD 28),and Barriere (SD 73) have the opportunity to visit the 2nd largest open pit mine in Canada, talk to industry professionals and gain insight on working in the mining industry.

We look forward to inspiring and encouraging students to consider the vast array of career possibilities within the mining industry and the exciting opportunities that await them!

That’s a wrap! The fourth and final site-wide BBQ was held at this week. All funds raised during the events support , the flagship program of the BC mining sector committed to supporting BC Children’s Hospital.

We’re currently tallying the total funds raised and want to express our appreciation to all Gibraltar employees for their commitment and hard work in planning and hosting these events!

Today is Moose Hide Campaign Day, a powerful movement against gender-based violence.

Originating from the heart of British Columbia, the Moose Hide Campaign is more than just a movement; it’s a testament to the power of grassroots efforts in fostering change. But why Moose hide? For many Indigenous communities, it’s not just material - it’s medicine, carrying deep cultural significance.

At Taseko and Gibraltar Mine, we’re proud to stand in solidarity with this vital cause. That’s why we have provided all our 700+ employees with Moose Hide Pins, sparking conversations and spreading awareness about ending gender-based violence. Together, let’s be the change we wish to see in the world.

– The Time Is Now For Women In BC Mining

BC mining companies are working to reduce the gender divide in mining.

A key priority for Teck includes improving the representation of underrepresented groups including, but not limited to, women. Also, supporting procurement from businesses operated by women.

May is Mining Month in British Columbia, an ideal time to recognize and celebrate this cornerstone industry in our province. Mining moves us, connects us, and allows us to innovate. It drives and builds our technology and is the very foundation of almost everything around us, from the copper, gold and silver used in electrical equipment, smartphones, and healthcare equipment to the critical minerals that build the batteries, wind turbines and solar panels that are essential to fighting climate change.” Hon Josie Osborne is Minister of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation

Beyond energy transition applications, copper is one of the most widely used metals in the world.

In 2035, total US demand for refined copper is expected to be almost twice (1.8 times) that of copper demand for energy-transition-related applications. At the same time, copper refining capacity in the United States has fallen since 2000, meaning the country is becoming increasingly reliant on foreign producers to meet its copper needs.
