Article is misleading and very old news. 1. The fine was done by previous administration back in 2008. It was covered extensively in December 1, 2008 by Panama-Guide. 2. The mine is open pit as opposed to the picture in the article showing a tunnel. 3. The previous administration was at odds with the company and there were many rumors why.

Whenever an article appears in the Panama media you need to know the agenda of the reporting entity. They will take a statement, like MICI or MEF reports "a", which is good news, and then work in some political opinion or twist the story to suit their limited readership's political agenda.

La Prensa Panama is the largest paper and the best source for accurate news. At the present time, there is nothing but blue sky ahead for the company/government relationship.

Go to Newsroom Panama another small publisher and you can see a report of the same gold production story, published at the some time,without the spin, and with the positive comment that the company will be the darling of the government.
