Murky waters run in Solomons mining boom

What of the environment and the blockage at the Metapona River? Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo is cautiously sceptical.
“I wanted to find out the validity of such a report because if you go to the land owners, they will give you lots of claims, brain sickness will always find opportunity,” he says.
“They might be absolutely legitimate but what I’m saying is that we need to have good and credible technical and scientific to verify those claims.”
Gold Ridge owner St Barbara decline to comment for this report.
The government has been refused it permission to empty its tailings dam, which villagers say would have poisoned them with cyanide and the pollutants.
