Friday's announcement comes after U.S. and Canadian investors spent more than $30 million in recent years on exploratory drilling and other mining-related activities in Haiti. In the past year, mining companies launched exploratory drills in Haiti's northeast region, saying they found precious metals that could be worth up to $20 billion.
Locals worry that their land will be taken, jobs won't be offered and the environment will be damaged by these new permits.
