Northback, formerly known as Benga Mining, appears to be attempting to resurrect the Grassy Mountain project, a proposed coal mine rejected by the provincial and federal governments.

The company has applied through the Alberta Energy Regulator for exploration, drilling and water diversion licensing, which would be used just north of the Crowsnest Pass."That was really concerning for a couple of reasons. First of all, because we don't think coal is an appropriate use of that area.

Albertans have been very clear they don't want to see new coal mining on the eastern slopes of the Rockies," said Katie Morrison, executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society's southern Alberta chapter.The pause on new development came from a coal committee's recommendations to protect fish and water quality.

The application is considered an advanced coal project according to the AER, which is allowed under the ministerial order."Haven't we done this before? Didn't we do this? Didn't we deal with this? I don't know, it's like, 'Why is this starting up again?'" he said. Energy and Minerals Minister Brian Jean was not available for comment, but a statement from his office provided an update on that project.

"Alberta's government is keeping strong restrictions in place on coal mining. The application for these exploration drilling activities is being reviewed by the AER. An application does not necessarily mean it will be approved," the statement read.The application could take weeks to be approved or denied by the AER.
