Letter Campaign Demands Canadian Government Take Action Against Canadian Mining Company in Chile
(Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto) Canadians sent more than 150 letters to the Canadian embassy in Chile demanding that the embassy withdraw diplomatic support for Los Andes Copper and make a public statement to reject the company’s conduct with respect to its Los Vizcachitas project. The Canadian mining company is embroiled in an ongoing conflict with the communities in Putaendo through its Chilean subsidiary, Vizcachitas Holding, which is undertaking exploration activities without the consent of the local populations.
