A former lead and zinc mine in southeastern British Columbia has generated a small profit in its first full year of operation as a solar farm.
Reports from City of Kimberley staff show the SunMine facility returned just over $12,626 dollars in net profit, with total revenue valued at just under $180,000.
Mayor Don McCormick says this reflects well, as the city attempts to find a company to purchase and expand the solar project.
“The different expressions of interest we have all have different ideas,” McCormick said. “Not only how the expansion will happen, but what type of expansion and what other variables they might bring into play. We’ve got some very interesting proposals on the title and I look forward to sharing that in the near future.”
