Host Gregor Craigie talks with Arthur Caldicott about Quicksilver Resources acquisition of the Elk Falls mill site in Campbell River, and its intention to evaluate it for an LNG export facility.

The new owners of the Elk Falls mill site say they will be engaging First Nations and the local community as it begins feasibility studies on possible uses for the property.

And one of those uses may include Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), said David Erdman, Manager, Investor and Media Relations for Quicksilver Resources Canada Inc.

“Quicksilver will engage with the province to start the process of assessing the site for remediation and we intend to engage First Nations and the local community as site development possibilities emerge,” said Erdman. “We will engage stakeholders early and often through this process, and we’ll have broader communications issued as soon as possible.”
