Mientras un grupo de opositores a la Minera San Xavier (MSX) viajan a Toronto para protestar el jueves en la asamblea de accionistas de la empresa canadiense, la planta continúa sus operaciones a pesar de que el pasado 21 de abril un tribunal revocó el amparo contra la clausura que impuso la Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (Profepa) en noviembre pasado.

PROTEST NEW GOLD'S AGM
jueves, 06 de mayo de 2010

Toronto Board of Trade
77 Adelaide Street West
In 1996 the Canadian mining company Metallica Resources, now New Gold Inc., came to Cerro de San Pedro, Mexico to exploit gold through open pit mining and cyanide leaching. Since the beginning the company has faced resistance from the town of Cerro de San Pedro, the city of San Luis Potosi, and internationally, organized through the FAO (Frente Amplio Opositor - Broad Opposition Front). The struggle has used legal strategies, through which the FAO won the closure of the mine by the federal environmental authority in November 2009. But, in violation of Mexican law, the mine is still operating with the complicity of the Canadian government and financed by the Toronto Stock Exchange. In response, the FAO is bringing the struggle to the streets to Toronto to directly confront New Gold and give their shareholders a glimpse of the scope of the global resistance to the mine at Cerro de San Pedro, and other similarly destructive mining projects throughout Mexico and the world.
