While we worry and wait impatiently for gold to make a comeback, there are folks elsewhere who just don't seem to care two hoots about gold!!! In fact, it seems they like to see gold where it belongs naturally ------- in the ground!!! For them, it seems that the best things in life are those that are free. For your info/interest/edification, I append below two snippets of news culled from today's (July 3rd) NEWSPOT:- Cap-Hatien peasants stopped gold exploration crews Deep in the hills of the poorest country in the Americas a fortune in gold lies waiting, but water is worth more than gold to local farmers, officials said. A Canadian gold mining company that has been drilling near Cap-Haitien has determined that the two small mines could yield at least $100 million dollars over 10 years. But some 200 peasants who eke out a meager living in the hills, armed with guns and machetes, stopped crews from working at the site last month, demanding that a dam be built in the area to irrigate their fields. ***************************************************************** Venezuela Indians, politicians protest gold mining An unusual alliance of opposition politicians, environmentalists and Indian leaders joined forces Thursday in a bid to stop controversial plans to turn a huge forest reserve into a gold mining project. Some 500 protesters including barefoot Pemon Indians daubed in red paint and wearing loincloths marched through Caracas' traffic-clogged center to protest the Venezuelan government's scheme to develop the Imataca reserve, near the Guayanese border. The marchers waved banners and chanted "Imataca's greatest wealth is the Pemons." ******************************************************************* Richnorth
