不列颠哥伦比亚省已停止西北部新的玉石开采,并为现有开采活动设定了五年过渡期。 British Columbia has halted new jade mining in the northwest and set a five-year transition period for existing operations. 能源和矿业部禁止在新的玉石矿区进行采矿活动,因为担心玉石开采会对迪斯湖附近地区敏感的高山环境造成影响。 The Ministry of Energy and Mines has prohibited mining activities on new jade tenures, citing concerns about the effects of jade mining on sensitive alpine environments in the area near Dease Lake. 现有的持有者可以继续经营五年,同时加强监管要求,从而有足够的时间逐步退出。 Existing tenure holders may continue operating for five years with enhanced regulatory requirements, allowing them adequate time to wind down.
