Hundreds of small-scale miners, also known as artisanal miners have invaded the lakes queue gold cyanide La Camorra mine and refuse to leave the site, despite warnings and calls made by the company and the security agencies competent to make them aware about the danger to their lives, andalusia andalusia cyanide exposure.

The group of miners from the past year and remains within the edge of the dam that forms the gap Tail No. 3. They claim to have found a gold bulla in that gap and how this now belongs to the Venezuelan state will not be until we get all the material deposited there.

Civil and military authorities have been present at the site since the artisanal mining in the lagoon is considered high risk for humans; reasoned that the material deposited there contains a gold grade of cyanide, to be fatal to humans.

According to work done by experts in environmental matters, in this region is violating Article 80 of the Organic Law of the Environment in its paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 13 and 20, as well as Article 6 of the Law on Chemicals and Waste dangerous.

The miners entered the area to glue the gaps through trails or clubs, where some have placed temporary tents, staying in place for long hours without any protection for the right to access these areas cyanide.

This action increases the risk of environmental pollution, because, perhaps recklessly, or by ignorance of the danger existing there, upon entering this gap tail cyanide, remain in direct contact with this deadly chemical, which penetrates the human being through the skin by attacking the living cells, so in a short period of time the individual begins to suffer dizziness, numbness, physical discomfort and even death.

It is urgent that action by the authorities in order to prevent contamination, collecting in the area.
