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.

Join the tens of thousands of people and communities fighting to protect the Rockies and rivers.
