KGHM has hired a new Ajax Superintendent in Kamloops, according to a media release issued by Abacus Mining & Exploration Group Tuesday morning (Sept. 1).
Michael Wypych, who previously worked as the Chief Mine Engineer for KGHM International from 2012 to 2018, has been named to the role. According to the release, the duties of the new superintendent will be “focused on First Nations, community, and governmental engagement in order to advance the project towards a potential resubmission of the environmental application.”
The Ajax mine project application was rejected by both the provincial and federal governments in December 2017 due to the potential risk for adverse effects, including poor air quality and risk to human health.
The media release says Wypych is a current resident of Kamloops. It also states KGHM is currently seeking office space in the city “in order to provide the project with an increased community presence.”
