Viernes, Agosto 12, 2005

Four years after a massive spill at Placer Dome's Marcopper mine put some 4 million tons of tailings into the 26-kilometre long Boac river on the island of Marinduque in the Philippines Placer Dome remains uncertain about when the cleanup will be completed and about what the final costs will be. The reason Placer Dome faces ever rising expenses and cannot finalize the cleanup of the Boac River is because the company refuses to respond to persistent opposition in the Philippines to the company's plan to place the spilled tailings in the sea.
