Bonao, Dominican Republic.- The ferrous nickel mining company Cormidom Wednesday denied its operations of the Cerro de Maimon Concession and environmental impact study pose a threat to residents, as local media report.
"The nickel-laterite project is just one of many in the area and if feasible its exploitation will not use cyanide in the process and only handle the material removed physically," said the geologist Sergio Gelcich, quoted by elnacional.com.do.
He said the company currently evaluates the project environmentally and economically, to determine the feasibility of mining the nickel ore at ??Loma El Cumpié and Loma Mala, three miles southwest of Maimon.
Gelcich said Cormidom has complied with all legal regulations as the project advances and the exploration was conducted from 2006 to 2008 in the area where it was determined that there’s nickel ore located in the mesas of Cumpié and Mala hills.
He added that Cormidom submitted the project’s description to the Environment Ministry on April 2011, together with the request for the terms of reference for an environmental impact study which a project of that nature needs to consider.

You guys hate all mining. You are just Jealous, Self-absorbed jerks who hate the fact that somebody is making money.
I have constantly asked anyone to provide one bit of concrete evidence of Barrick Gold committing any major environmental damage and none of you have even tried let alone come close.
AnthonyC..
For the first time in my life I had to agree with Joseano...
Everywhere in the world where Barrick Gold goes only bring death and misery..I dont see a lot of progress and prosperity in the land of Bonao and Cotui..
Instead somebody should have develop agro business or free trade zone.. But not mines that destroy the whole biodiversity and get a LOT of death and sick people .
I am not in D.R., but 3 separates friends had send me photos of red rivers full of cyanide and death fishes..The thing that that B.G always do....After you get the tierra caliza out of the ground.. it takes 150 years to get the natural corteza vegetal of dirt..To allow normal growing of trees again..
AnthonyC.. you asked a question... Google that information or look at this in youtube and you will ready to cry..
That's why B.G is the most HATED company in the world..
Just WAY overwhelming!
