province. Expansion opportunities are limited. There is, however, good potential for smaller hydro-electric developments. Other energy resources such as solar, wind, co-generation, oil, gas, coalbed methane and geothermal are untested or untapped.<\/p>\n<p>Lillooet has a long history of mining and some of the best mineral potential in the province. Future mines could produce metals (gold, silver, copper, tungsten), industrial minerals (limestone, dimension stone, talc), aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed rock) and gems (jade, agate).<\/p>\n<p>Three mining\/tourism areas will be designated in the Southern Chilcotin Range (see map) to ensure sustainable management of these industries in key locations. A management plan, guided by the intent of the 2004 Mining\/Tourism Memorandum of Understanding, will be prepared for these areas. To optimize resource development, these areas will be closed to industrial logging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1878\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2946 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map-768x749.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Issues:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Uncertainty of access for mineral and energy resource development.<\/li>\n<li>Land use planning processes focused on surface values fail to adequately account for mineral exploration and development opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Land use designations and constraints favouring other resource values can reduce opportunity for, and increase the cost of, mining development and add to investor uncertainty.<\/li>\n<li>Shortage of designated placer areas.<\/li>\n<li>Limited public understanding of exploration and development activities, project review processes, and ways of protecting the environment and resolving disputes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Goals:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Prosperous mineral and energy sectors with full access to Crown land for exploration and development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1875-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1875-0-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1875-0-2-0\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Economy<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1875-0-2-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_nav_menu panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1875-0-2-1\" ><ul id=\"menu-economic-sections\" class=\"menu\"><li  class=\"menu-agriculture-and-range menu-item-2299 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/economic-sections\/agriculture-and-range\/\"><span>Agriculture and Range<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-crown-land-and-water menu-item-2300 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/economic-sections\/crown-land-and-water\/\"><span>Crown Land and Water<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-energy-and-minerals menu-item-2301 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/economic-sections\/energy-and-minerals\/\"><span>Energy and Minerals<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-timber-and-silviculture menu-item-2302 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/economic-sections\/timber-and-silviculture\/\"><span>Timber and Silviculture<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-tourism-and-recreation menu-item-2303 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/economic-sections\/tourism-and-recreation\/\"><span>Tourism and Recreation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1875-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1875-1\" ><div id=\"pgc-1875-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1875-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1875-1-0-0\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table style=\"width:100%\">\n<p>\t<!-- TITLE BAR --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<th>Objectives<\/th>\n<th>Management Direction\/Strategies<\/th>\n<th>Measures of Success\/Targets<\/th>\n<th>Intent<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\t<!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" style=\"background:#F1F1F2;\">Energy Objectives<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\t<!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>1.
