Alberta Beyond Coal

Exploration to mine Grassy Mountain continues

Help us deny Northback Holdings a deep drilling permit at Grassy Mountain.

Coal mining continues in Alberta

Exploration may continue

The application to mine Grassy Mountain was denied in 2o21. Now, the same company (under a new name) is looking to conduct exploratory drilling and requests a water diversion.

Water is under threat

Open-pit mining will contaminate the water for people and wildlife, suck vital water from farmers and ranchers, and destroy mountain landscapes for recreation, fishing and hunting.
