Argentine authorities suspended Canadian firm Osisko’s open-pit gold mining project in the north-western province of La Rioja amid grassroots protests and considerations of a possible referendum on the whole project. ....
The move was hailed by some 300 La Rioja residents and environmental activists who demonstrated last Friday outside the Canadian Embassy in Buenos Aires and held up signs that read
“No to Gold, Yes to Life” and “No More Cyanide.”
