WARSAW, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Poland's KGHM  KGH.WA , Europe's 
No.2 copper producer, has applied for an environmental permit 
for an opencast copper and gold mine near the Canadian city of 
Kamloops in British Columbia. 
    The project is run by KGHM Ajax Mining, KGHM's joint venture 
with Canada's Abacus Mining & Exploration  AME.V , which holds a 
20 percent in the subsidiary. 
    The state-run miner expects to secure all permits by the 
turn of 2016 and 2017.
