BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Canada: Insurance may fall short of Imperial Metals' huge cleanup bill

August 12, 2014 Reprints

Canada's Imperial Metals Corp. is facing huge clean-up costs from the collapse of its mine waste dam at Mount Polley in British Columbia, The Vancouver Sun reported.

But, the company's $15 million Canadian ($13.7 million) property and business interruption insurance cover may fall short of the cleanup cost. Imperial Metals also has CAD 10 million in third-party liability coverage. A BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. analysis has estimated the cost to the company at CAD 200 million, although legal damages could double that amount.
