Chile: Barrick Gold cheated in Pascua-Lama

(AW) The mining company Barrick Gold Corporation, could be disqualified exploit the Pascua Lama mine in Chile. This mine is in front of San Juan in an area of ??Andean glaciers, which supply water to various Chilean farming communities. If mining Barrick intentions for pursuing these glaciers disappear and further pollute the waters that flow from the Andes mountains in the area.

(Digital Del Weekly The Seventh Edition - 12/04/06) A spectacular turn and nothing auspicious for investors and international operators announced in the short term, for the Pascua Lama of Barrick Gold Corporation (BGC) mining project. We are able to report that the project will fall hopelessly, when today we we advance to become a reality in the public domain: BGC, included between mining properties that make up the Area of ??Operations, on the Chilean side of that project, belongings which does not own and which bear a Prejudicial Precautionary Measure, which has vitiated the Additional Protocol signed on August 18, 2004, by President Ricardo Lagos and his Foreign Minister Soledad Alvear. Deception is doubly serious, because the injunction was issued in a process that affects the Nevada Mining Company, which is representing the interests of BGC in Pascua Lama.

Budgeted 10 billion dollars of profits that should stop the Pascua Lama project in the light of this background will vanish just as quickly to grow the political scandal that accompanied the question: What could be so misinformed the President Chile and sign a protocol that carries in itself the so-called "vice and void" impossible situation to hide indefinitely?.

Documents

Mention some of the most revealing documents:

Plano officer miner SERNAGEOMIN showing all mining properties that make up the area of ??operations of the Passover mine in which the properties on which there is ongoing litigation (Yellow North and South Yellow, labeled with a total of 34 properties mining cover an area of ??8,600 hectares) and why their owners and Jorge Rodolfo Villar Lopehandia, have filed suit against BGC.

12 Mensuras, referring to personal belongings "Treasures" together covering an area of ??3400 hectares and whose UTM coordinates (Transverse Mercator units) that are used and recognized by our Mining Code, as the place the Northern and Southern Yellow, inside the perimeter of Area Operations Mina Pascua.

Notably, the Treasures belongings are covering the gold cloak that gave life to Pascua-Lama project.

With regard to the surveying of belongings "Treasures", the Conservative Trade and Mines Vallenar, extended a "Certificate of Current Domain, attesting that these have been surveying legally registered in the name of Don Hector Unda Llanos and allowed further established that affects them surveying these preliminary precautionary measure, the "ban on acts and contracts and / or tax and / or dispose of each of the statements, motions and / or aforementioned mining claims."

Moreover, in the final sheet of each of the surveys, the Conservative states "... further certify that no further marginal annotation realize was annulled precautionary injunction mentioned above."

The importance of the injunction is it impossible or invalidate any business transaction with the indicated mineral properties, ie BGC, can any consider so as part of their heritage, because in addition to the title of Don Hector Unda, there But a court in favor of Jorge Lopehandia.

Political consequences

The political consequences and its amplitude can be assessed on the difficulties that you have to expose the supports (read corrupt) that allowed Barrick, manipulate absolutely entire state apparatus, from the President of the Republic of Chile to the various agencies for years have spent thousands of hours and thousands of studies documents a project that its operators knew flawed.

Even worse is that it could not claim that they were surprised, is world renowned as the black history of corruption and environmental crimes that draws blood and BGC.

In the immediate term, President Bachelet, whatever the decision of the Cabinet in the last instance, the process of putting the project in accordance with environmental standards and the demands of the citizens, have to take time and learn to not make the same mistake as Ricardo Lagos.

Economic Consequences

With regard to the economic consequences, to understand them, it is necessary to consider two items of the Chilean Civil Code.

The No. 14, which says: "The law is mandatory for all citizens of the Republic, including foreigners" and No. 16 which states: "The property in Chile are subject to Chilean law, although their owners are foreign and are not in Chile. "

"This provision is without prejudice to the provisions contained in contracts validly granted in a foreign country."

These two items mean that large transactions abroad, to obtain credit, collection of funds to finance the operation of the site and sales of "paper future" which is the advance sale of production or part thereof, supported by a project supported by the states of Chile and Argentina, to be canceled, transformed these normal operations in a giant scam that can be encrypted in many Billions of Dollars, we mentioned that the amount of fraud you can encrypt in billions of dollars, which will lead to bankruptcy and ruin to many who entered the business.

The truth

Given the enormity of the structure which may have the Pascua Lama Project, via internet in a long exchange, technical and interviewed known Lopehandia miner Jorge, who lives in Canada, as the initial owner of the Pascua mine and process holder which airs on the 14th Civil Court of Santiago, on the same property.

His first reaction was happiness, as he said: "At last the light makes its way into this dark matter has dragged on for so many years."

"This trial is nearing its final stage, we have obtained right in each of its instances, but unfortunately the public only now come to know part of the truth. This has meant many economic sacrifices for me and my whole family, in order to face a real international conspiracy, which tangled and silenced our efforts towards justice. "

"The loss for Chile are huge, he added, in due course (1998), proposed a project, quite revolutionary, because using a still unknown technology in our country, do the exploitation of mineral, without any pollution, because not involve the use of chemical reagents, to put it simply, is to separate the metals by gravity, depending on their different specific weight, while stressing that the use of (fresh or salt) water is negligible compared to the old methods . "

Finally, Mr. Lopehandia raised to soon release new details regarding the area where Easter is located.
