Costa Ricans nix Open-Sky Gold mining

Costa Rica: Environmentally responsible Costa Ricans was scheduled to march Thursday against the Supreme Court rule that okays Las Crucitas gold mine open-sky operation despite environmental and community hazards.

The decision favours a Canadian contractor that plans to produce some 800,000 ounces of gold, worth $800M, in ten years. Union Norte por la Vida, the Front against Open-Sky Gold Mining and Costa Rica's pro-Environment Federation, among other organizations, hope to attract thousands of protesters.

The mine, just 5km from the border with Nicaragua, will poison both countries' waters, flora and fauna with cyanide, compromising traditional livelihoods like fishing, farming and herding, and led to displacements due to its location in Indigenous territories.
