vinvec, this is taken from the tech report from MDA...I know what you're saying about merly's comments (no mining in imataca), but she also would not comment on LC/LB (they may end up designating the "cuyuni river basin" as a new area altogether).....hard to believe they'd split hairs over 4k hectares on a polluted border, lose tons of revenue, have no environmental mitigation, have to police the 'illegal mining", etc, etc......bottom line is that not allowing LC to go ahead would probably be the worst thing for all concerned...with hugo losing his butt on oil now i just dont see it....historically when gold prices go down, ven pushes to mine LC, when gold prices go up they stall.....go figure. 4.4.2 Existing Environment As described in Section 5.0, the Las Cristinas site is located within the sub-equatorial tropical zone in a flat area with minor undulations, parts of which, under normal conditions, are subject to flooding. Although much of the site has been previously disturbed by small-scale mining, the area can generally be characterized as tropical rain forest with a distinct rainy season between May and September and a drier period from January to April. Despite the fact that the Las Cristinas area has been designated as a mining district, it lies within the boundaries of the Imataca Forest Reserve and therefore is subjected to more stringent environmental controls than areas outside of the Imataca Reserve.
