Editor's Note: In response to an article today in the Victoria Times-Colonist
here Grant Gordon suggests the Raven coal project has a bigger dimension.
...
Lots of background information on the coal prospects of the Comox and Alberni valleys flows back and forth on the CoalWatch news server.

Re: "No other coal mines planned for Island," Feb. 18.
The letter from the CEO of the Raven coal project raises the central issue about the proposed Raven mine: Will this be the first of a number of mines in the vast coal reserve that stretches from Fanny Bay to near Campbell River?
In 2004, Compliance Energy entered into a purchase agreement for what historically had been known as the Hamilton Lake Deposit.
By John Snyder, Times Colonist, February 22, 2011
John Tapics' "No other coal mines planned" letter from Feb. 18 avoids the question of his company's intentions to develop two new open pit coal mines in the Comox Valley by saying that his company "has no plans to develop other properties on Vancouver Island at this time."
By John Tapics, Times Colonist, February 18, 2011
Re: "Meeting allows coal-mining opponents to give views," Feb. 9.
The article contains an inaccurate statement attributed to Calvin Sanborn, Environmental Law Centre legal director. The comment that the Raven Project "is already sparking other applications, including plans for two open-pit mines" is not supported by fact.
Shayne Morrow, Alberni Valley Times, December 14, 2010
The proponents of the Raven Underground Coal Project have expanded their horizons by purchasing five mineral claims on the North Island.
