Let’s bury the 2010 Lat-Am Mining Congress in Miami!

PROTEST: April 29, 3pm in Coral Gables at the Westin Colonnade, 180 Aragon Ave.

Open Pit Mine in Panama

Representatives of a variety of ore-mining multinational companies, international development banks, other investors and ministers of mining who week to promote and expand this devastating industry will be meeting in Miami APRIL 28-30. Let’s show them how we feel about thsi industry’s role in ecocide and displacement of communities!

Mining is one of the most widely, popularly contested issues in Latin America, pitting the region´s land based communities and social movements against the state governments that encompass them. Many of the people forcibly displaced from these projects have settled in South Florida, because of the proximity and likeness to home, and now the giants of mining come to taunt them.

Come spend April 28-30 in Miami’s luxurious Coral Gables neighborhood. Join folks from all over, bring a shovel, and let’s cut off industrial mining in Latin America from its lifeline here in South Florida, and bury it once and for all!!

Some of the more prominent earth destroyers to show their faces include:

• Mr. Rodolfo Sabonge, Vice President, Office of the Market Research and Analysis, Panama Canal Authority
• Mr. Hernan Martinez Torres, Colombia Minister of Mining & Energy, Ministry of Energy & Mining
• Dr. Claudio Scliar, Brazil Secretary of Geology, Mining, and Mineral Processing, Ministry of Mines & Energy
• Mr. Jose de Jesus Martin del Campo Esparza, General Director of Mining Promotion, Ministry of Economy – Mexico
• Mr. Salvador Garcia, VP Mexico, Goldcorp Inc.
• Mr. Abraham Morris Fox, Structured and Corporate Finance, Inter-American Development Bank
