Adois ENE-MIGOS!

5 years? Why don't you leave in, oh let's say the next 5 minutes.

Wow....Such Jealous hatred that you are willing to give up 1000's of jobs and millions of $$$ into the economy just so you can feel good about yourselves,


Sad really

We would feel even better if you stayed in calle 8 as well Alpha66!

No Josie C hangs out 61 streets up from calle 8 with all the fruits, nuts and flakes

Your petty jealousy is obvious

anthonyc I guess you need to be dominican to understand. Have you been to Bonao they really don't have much rivers any more they pretty much dried up. Compared to when I was a kid 20 years ago.

I remember bathing in a beautiful, clean river with a small waterfall in Bonao when I was a kid and stayed in Bonao with my grandparents for a year. Always wanted to go back and swim there again. Very sad to hear it has dried up. I also remember there was some sort of scandal going on regarding the extraction of some other precious metal other than nickel which was the only metal the then Falconbridge had a right to extract. They were smuggling this other metal (believe it was gold) with the nickel.

I say no to further mining and degradation of our beautiful landscape. Let's not turn our land into Haiti. If anyone is going to extract our minerals let's wait till we have the technology and funds to do it ourselves. This company has been exploiting our resources for 1/2 century now. Enough. Let them go.

Why would they pick on DR ,such a small nation for mining ,unless there is more than what they say there is such as gold,cobalt,silver,uranium.
I remember back in Balaguer's time one of my cousin was offered a scholarship by the Sovietson mining and petro as it was then called in DR . He took them up on that and went to study at Patricio Lubumba university ,where he got his degree, but will not give him his post grad untill he joinned & served the communist party.His answer was he came to study ,not to be a member of any political party.They told him to pack up and leave,that he did .Fron there went to France and then to Spain. He tried to talk to Balaguer to let him in as an inspector of this mine of which he refused, since my cousin had studied in such University. He wasn't allowed back in DR.From Panama he went back to Spain married a Spaniard, got a good job,retired from it ,went back to DR at his mother's funeral. This same company didn't want any overseers representing DR gvt

Adios!!

Don't waste your time with this character, if it was for people like him mining companies and all the companies will be without any kind of rule doing as they please without any intervention even if it meas F@cking up everyone including himself.

International commodities trader Glencore in negotiations to take over Swiss-based mining company Xstrata. Shareholders - include Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund - and JP Morgan, the Wall Street Bank. JP Morgan is one of no fewer than ten banks helping broker the deal, which would create one of the world’s largest mining concerns.
What hope for the environment with that lot to put pressure (or $$$$$) on, or under the table, to make sure they get the green light to go ahead?

$1m an hour to schmooze sheiks?

The Dominican Republic is becoming Haiti 2, faster and faster. The GREEDY capitalists are killing another country. Anyone who doesn't think that RD's demise is following Haiti is very ignorant, or is part of the demise of the country.

Leave now you are not welcome , go back to Canada. and do it there .......

5 years you are talking like if you are doing to us a favor , GET OUT NOW and do it in Canada. Or where ever you , you are coming from, we know what's going to happen if you don't. Leave,,,, get out , get out , get out now.... Bonao use to have beutiful mountain and clean rivers , what do we have now is garbage , a contaminate. Water, no mountain, and a lot of poverty,,,,,,

This is worst than , narcotrafic. Money laundries , or corruption in general , because it cud be fix or contain . But how can any body replace mother nature , what ever damage this company has done is going to stay for ever in our country our beutiful DR, this people don't care about anybody they just go for the huge profits they can get and not to mention all other precios metals, in low cuantities they find , like platinum, Uranion, dimons ....etc
