The Xatll First Nation says it is filing for a judicial review of the project approval.

The province approved the raising of the mine’s tailings dam by four metres in March .

The approval comes just over a decade after a tailings pond burst at the same mine, spilling more than 20 million cubic metres of mining wastewater into local waterways.
