MPs press Honduras over mining law
Nine British MPs and 11 Canadian parliamentarians have written to members of the Honduran National Congress, pressing them to approve a law that will balance the rights of local communities against those of mining companies...CAFOD is also lobbying mining firm Entremares - and its Canadian-US parent company Glamis Gold - to ensure that the people of Honduras benefit from their mineral wealth. The giant San Martin mine run by Entremares uses the 'cyanide heap leaching' method of mining, a cheap way of extracting gold that is banned in some countries.
