“Similar to Oceana Gold’s mine development stage, waterways have either
decreased in both flow and volume or have completely dried up, while
some ‘dead creeks’, as locals put it, have suddenly strengthened most
likely due to deliberate water diversion. We also observed signs of
decreased water quality, including signs of chemical contamination and
increased turbidity in comparison to observed unaffected rivers that
will likely impact on the irrigation, potable water supply and
sanitation of communities,” said Dr. Chito Medina, national coordinator
of the peasant-scientist group MASIPAG and lead expert of the scoping
team on FCF Minerals.
