Environmentalist overreacting about Petaquilla
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010Petaquilla Gold admitted it used chemical substances for its processes but also pointed out that there is no danger of a spill.
The spokesman for Petaquilla, Carlos Salazar, stated that the amount of sodium cyanide used is minimum and it is recylced because it is very costly. He considers that the environmentalists that warned of a possible spill are “alarmists” since he assures us that there is a production system in place that avoids any time of damage to the hydraulic sources.
Salazar and Richard Fifer Carles stated that none of the leaching tubs store cyanide, and that due to the constant rain production had slowed down but were able to get maintenance work done.
