Not sure how BC works but I would suspect the large share price drop is due to the clean up cost associated with this event. Its funny that the focus of this thread keeps slipping back to oil companies and not the mining industry
It's the oil companies fault. We taught BC how to make tailings ponds, BC never knew how to make a tailings pond before tarsands investors started buying stock in companies there.
