    [...] Bluestone has made significant progress in advancing the Cerro Blanco Project and as a result has drawn attention from certain anti-mining groups, that are known in the region for spreading misinformation on the impacts of development projects, such as Cerro Blanco. The Company is aware of a referendum that was held yesterday in the Municipality of Asuncion Mita that was organized by anti-mining advocates.


    These anti-mining groups formed a biased commission (the “Commission”) to organize a referendum that unfairly portrayed public opinion on future mining activities within the municipal limits.


    The Commission responsible for the vote is fully comprised of individuals with an anti-mining agenda. During the referendum process several biased and illegal activities were observed. Bluestone has been advised by its legal counsel that the referendum will not be legally binding. Furthermore, a legal injunction was filed against the referendum and a Judge in department of Jutiapa, where the project is located, ruled that it be suspended. Regardless of this ruling, the Commission holding the illegitimate vote continued to proceed against the orders of the court. Due to the injunction against the vote, the Company did not actively participate.


    The referendum is against the recommendations of the Central Government, no entity other than the relevant federal governmental agencies have the legal jurisdiction over mining licenses in Guatemala. The governing electoral body of Guatemala (Supreme Electoral Tribunal) has refused to participate and has even refused to provide a registered list of voters.


    Furthermore, it is believed that voting results contained a number of votes from unregistered individuals residing outside of the area of influence. Additionally, the Commission that was comprised of individuals with anti-mining agendas was responsible for counting the votes. International accepted standards for a vote of this nature were not followed or considered. The results reflect an outcome that is not transparent or in line with the Company’s understanding of the sentiment towards the project.


    Jack Lundin, President and CEO, commented “This referendum is clearly unconstitutional and filled with irregularities. We are disappointed with the actions of these groups who use these biased referendums to create doubt and uncertainty around responsible mining projects such as Cerro Blanco. Our goal is to continue to develop Cerro Blanco and provide socioeconomic benefits that transform communities through employment and economic opportunity, while operating in an environmentally safe and socially responsible manner. We at Bluestone, do not believe the results of this referendum reflect the overall community sentiment towards the project.” [...]



    Na wär doch eine ideale konzertierte Aktion von kriminellen Shortsellern, hier mal ein bisserl Sand ins Getriebe zu streuen mit ferngesteuerten Marionetten, den guten Ruf der Lundins untergraben, Aktionären schaden... :boese: ...einfach so, weil es machbar ist?... 8o

  • Schwerigkeiten in Guatemala aber noch nichts gesetzlich bindendes



    Bluestone 'disappointed' with anti-mining referendum
    https://www.miningweekly.com/a…ne-2022-09-20/rep_id:3650


    Der Präsident und CEO des kanadischen Unternehmens Bluestone Resources, Jack Lundin, hat seine Enttäuschung über ein Referendum zum Ausdruck gebracht, das am Wochenende in einer Region in der Nähe seines Goldprojekts Cerro Blanco in Guatemala abgehalten wurde, und betont, dass das Ergebnis der Abstimmung nicht die Stimmung gegenüber seinem Projekt widerspiegelt.


    Er sagt, dass die für die Abstimmung verantwortliche Kommission aus Personen besteht, die eine Anti-Bergbau-Agenda verfolgen, und dass während des Referendums mehrere voreingenommene und illegale Aktivitäten beobachtet wurden.


    "Dieses Referendum ist eindeutig verfassungswidrig und voller Unregelmäßigkeiten. Wir sind enttäuscht über das Vorgehen dieser Gruppen, die diese parteiischen Referenden nutzen, um Zweifel und Unsicherheit in Bezug auf verantwortungsvolle Bergbauprojekte wie Cerro Blanco zu schüren", so Lundin.


    Bluestone wurde von seinem Rechtsbeistand darauf hingewiesen, dass das Referendum rechtlich nicht bindend sein wird. Das Referendum wurde durchgeführt, obwohl ein Richter entschieden hatte, dass es ausgesetzt werden sollte.


    Eine vor kurzem abgeschlossene Machbarkeitsstudie hat gezeigt, dass ein robuster, hochgradiger Betrieb, der sich schnell amortisiert, über die gesamte Lebensdauer der Mine 2,6 Millionen Unzen Gold produzieren wird, und zwar zu den Gesamtkosten des ersten Quartils.

  • Krass. Gefünftelt in weniger als 6 Monate ist schon ein Hammer. Reiht sich wohl wieder mal in die Open pit Desaster ein.

    Krass: ja. Desaster: Nö - erstmal nicht. Das Referendum ist von oben für ungültig erklärt :thumbup:

    [...] The Constitutional Court of Guatemala has issued a ruling that nullifies the referendum and its results held on September 18th in Asuncion Mita. The ruling, of definitive nature, is based on clear evidence showing the referendum was unconstitutional. The Constitutional Court ruled on the following articles:

    • The self-established Commission that carried out the vote does not have the authority to hold a referendum outside of the legal framework of the municipality.
    • The referendum was misrepresented by the Commission as being valid and binding. Only the relevant national governmental agencies have the legal jurisdiction over mining licenses in Guatemala.

    The Government of Guatemala recently reiterated its support for the Cerro Blanco Project. The Ministry of Energy and Mines within the national government has issued a public Statement regarding the referendum and future mining activities within the municipal limits.
    As part of the permit amendment application (November 2021) for the Cerro Blanco Project, social baseline data was collected by an independent international consulting firm. The information collected through door-to-door interactions indicated a positive attitude toward the project. Furthermore, since filing the amendment application, Bluestone has continued relations with local authorities, community groups, associations, students, NGOs, and media. Examples include project tours, panel discussions, participation in local radio shows, visitor centre information sessions, door- to-door campaigns, mineral resource education courses, and participation at community events.
    Jack Lundin, President and CEO, commented: "We will remain committed to transparent communication, and constructive dialogue. Social acceptance is one the most important aspects of developing natural resources responsibly and is integral to the Company’s approach. Without a social license to operate, the project will not advance to its next phase, and we are here to work in a collaborative way with the local government of Asuncion Mita and the members of its community. We believe the municipality will ultimately support this project, considering the opportunities, jobs, and overall economic benefits that will be generated." [...]
