> In the Valle de San Felix, the purest water in Chile
> runs from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers.
>
> Water is a most precious resource, and wars will be
> fought for it.
>
> Indigenous farmers use the water, there is no
> unemployment, and they provide the second largest
> source of income for the area.
>
> Under the glaciers has been found a huge deposit of
> gold, silver and other minerals. To get at these, it
> would be necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers -
> something never conceived of in the history of the
> world - and to make 2 huge holes, each as big as a
> whole mountain, one for extraction and one for the
> mine's rubbish tip.
>
> The project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is
> called Barrick Gold.
>
> The operation is planned by a multi-national company,
> one of whose members is George Bush Senior.
>
> The Chilean Government has approved the project to
> start this year, 2006.
>
> The only reason it hasn't started yet is because the
> farmers have got a temporary stay of execution.
>
> If they destroy the glaciers, they will not just
> destroy the source of especially pure water, but they
> will permanently contaminate the 2 rivers so they will
> never again be fit for human or animal consumption
> because of the use of cyanide and sulphuric acid in
> the extraction process.
>
> Every last gram of gold will go abroad to the
> multinational company and not one will be left with
> the people whose land it is. They will only be left
> with the poisoned water and the resulting illnesses.
>
> The farmers have been fighting a long time for their
> land, but have been forbidden to make a TV appeal by a
> ban from the Ministry o f the Interior.
>
> Their only hope now of putting brakes on this project
> is to get help from international justice.
>
> The world must know what is happening in Chile. The
> only place to start changing the world is from here.
