PDI illegal mine:, page-13

Well well well - Mongagay "News & Inspiration from Nature's Frontline" - you only have to look at the heading to get feel of this media publications bias & likely back donnors. You'd undoubably be able to effortlessly shoot holes in many of their predicable claims such as “Everywhere they have to go, they (PDI) have cut down trees to make roads".

Oh, unsurprisingly, if gets worse of course - the sky is falling:

"The environmental consequences of industrial gold mining can be severe, as chemicals like cyanide are often used to separate gold deposits from the minerals and rocks they’re found in. Predictive Discovery’s Bankan Project is located just a few kilometers south of the Niger River, raising fears that pollution could be carried downriver if runoff or spills occur."

etc etc etc.

I'm exceptionally confident that PDI will hose this one down as fast as the coup hysteria got put aside as business as usual in West Africa & mundane humdrum.
