Crystallex International Corporation is a Canadian-based gold company with a successful record of developing and operating gold mines in Venezuela and elsewhere in South America
Note the last paragraph in this article as a solution to centralize and employ small miners who are polluting the Caroni River with mercury poisoning thru the gold mining process. I like Carvajel's solution to the problem!!

Leaders of the sector require the pronouncement of the governor and cataloging garrafal misdeed of this initiative of the National Government
A group of workers from the mining state of Bolivar, which were included in the plan of conversion mining advance from the Ministry of People's Power for Environment and the Ministry of People's Power for Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam), re-organize themselves to require a unified cancellation of the debts that this program has left this sector. The miners yesterday morning, decisive majority from the town Raul Leoni (Paragua) was bet in the vicinity of the park Leonardo Ruiz Pineda of Ciudad Bolivar, where he expected to meet with the deputy to the National Assembly by this entity, Pastora Medina , to learn about the status of applications that have been made before a national character. As a resounding failure and a misdeed garrafal cataloging these workers in the mining plan designed from the national government to relocate the workers in this sector, since "most humble of us have not received the resources while members of this camionetotas revolution came in to collect money that does not belong to them to the population of La Paragua in December 2006. " Statement by Executive Carlos Villafane, leader of the mining communities in the municipality Raul Leoni, contends that "as an important sector in society gvajanskega demand the intervention of the foremost representative regional Francisco Rangel Gomez in this conflict. He has said that had nothing to do with this problem, but as the first authority of the entity should even serve as a mediator to seek a solution. " The resources that today require them to be blocked are referring to the concept of "humanitarian aid" and that was set by an order of 15 billion bolivars (15 thousand bolivars strong). The government stipulated that this amount would serve these workers to be able to engage in any activity other than resource extraction from the soil. Mine workers bolivar argue that the state will be transferred to the capital of the republic, to demand to the various powers of the Venezuelan State will be cancelled resources that the same national government set for them. Speakers former governor The former governor of Bolivar state, Jorge Morales Carvajal, came to discuss with representatives miners various aspects of this problem. "While it is understandable that this activity must cease, especially in the watershed of the River Caroní this being the center of our hydroelectric potential, the government must provide viable solutions to their citizens," says Carvajal. "However, areas such as Las Cristinas, should be considered as places where these workers could settle, and there could eventually generate about 7, 500 direct and indirect jobs." |
