A Chilean court has suspended work at Barrick Gold Corporation‘s Pascua Lama mine after indigenous communities complained that the project is threatening their water supply and polluting glaciers. The appeals court in the northern city of Copiapo charged Barrick with environmental irregularities during construction of the mine...The company said that it will follow the court’s orders and suspend construction work on the Chilean side of the project while working to address environmental and other regulatory requirements...Before the latest ruling, Pascua Lama was supposed to begin production in the second half of 2014, but now even that seems in doubt. The suspension ordered by the court does not specify a time period for the same so it could be days, weeks or even months before work can resume on the Chilean side. [Refers to Fluor]
