  • Canadian Mine Accused of Causing Skin Infections
    Fuente: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7934513.stm Por el link: http://www.business-humanrights.org Canadian mine accused of causing skin infections By Bill Law Reporter, Radio 4 Crossing Continents The photographs are disturbing, Mayans young and old covered in blisters and welts. Anti-mining activists say the rashes result from water polluted by a giant open-pit gold mine located in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Marlin Mine is owned and operated by a large Canadian corporation called Goldcorp. The company strongly denies any link between their operation - which in a hot gold market is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week - and the ill health of the Mayans. Responding to the charge, the company said in a statement: "Comprehensive sampling conducted by the technical staff of the Public Ministry in Guatemala as well as by the Marlin environmental department has confirmed that river water quality is not adversely impacted by mine operations." RADIO 4: CROSSING CONTINENTS Bill Brassington heads a Canadian union pension fund that invests in Goldcorp and has seen the pictures taken by a North American non- governmental organisation called Rights Action. He points out that Rights Action has no medical evidence to support its claims. Still, as an ethical investor he is worried. Assessing Impact Besides the rashes, Goldcorp has been accused by some Guatemalan campaign groups and NGOs of unfair land purchase practices, human rights Unease over Guatemalan gold rush violations and environmental damage to the area surrounding the mine. Critics also say the company is taking huge amounts of profit out of impoverished indigenous communities and putting very little back in.
