The BCSC decision upholds authorizations by the B.C. Government to allow Mount Polley to raise its tailings storage facility dam without an environmental assessment
The Regroupement de protection des Lacs de la Petite-Nation (RPLPN) announces that the results of the consultative referendum on the La Loutre mining project confirm the population's strong opposition to this open-pit mining project in the Outaouais region. The referendum, held in accordance with Élections Québec rules in the municipalities of Duhamel, Lac des Plages, Lac-Simon, Chénéville, and Saint-Émile-de-Suffolk, saw 95% of citizens answer NO to the question of whether or not to implement the La Loutre mining project.

After nearly seven years in a court-ordered consultation process, the Xinka Indigenous People of Guatemala have denied consent for the restart of Canadian Pan American Silver’s Escobal mine in southern Guatemala. The Xinka are now calling for its permanent closure. The company and Canadian authorities must respect their decision in accord with their rights to self-determination.
If memory serves us correctly, May 7 of this year was the last time we sent a letter to Mr. Greg Smith, then CEO of Canadian company Equinox Gold, which went unanswered, like many other letters and official communications we have sent him. These letters serve as proof not only of his discourtesy, but also of contempt, racism, and discrimination towards us, attitudes that were “inherited” by their two main operators at the Los Filos mine: the company's vice president in Mexico, Armando Fausto Ortega, and their social responsibility manager, Hugo Vergara.
