For decades, we've helped keep BC's mines moving, hauling the materials, equipment, and supplies that operations rely on every day. When a mine runs on schedule, freight is part of the reason.
Good to see that work recognized as we close out .🚛⛏️
For decades, Van-Kam Freightways Ltd. has helped keep BC mines moving—delivering the materials, equipment, and supplies operations rely on every day. 🚛⛏️
From the Lower Mainland to remote northern sites, the Surrey-based company plays a critical “middle-mile” and final-delivery role, connecting industrial suppliers to active mine operations. With eight company-owned facilities and a network of 30 partner terminals, Van Kam reaches more than 98 locations across BC and Alberta.
Van Kam supports Newmont Corporation’s Red Chris Mine with freight services including specialized haulage of mining supplies, equipment, and operational materials to its remote site in Tahltan Territory.
The Red Chris Block Cave Expansion Project —located about 80 km south of Dease Lake—will increase Canada’s copper output by more than 15%, strengthening BC’s role in supplying the critical minerals needed for electrification and energy security. The project (currently awaiting permit approval) is expected to create ~1,800 construction jobs and sustain 1,500 operations roles, alongside long-term economic benefits for Tahltan communities and northern BC.
Van Kam also provides freight services to Mount Polley Mine (Imperial Metals Corporation), supporting the movement of supplies and materials to the open-pit copper and gold operation near Williams Lake.
