I totally agree that there are two sides to the town coin. MAN should address this issue ASAP. IMO they are defining something that may or may not be feasible simply because it is underneath the town. If they can get an agreement, then TG-1 becomes an issue. Until then, nobody knows what's going to happen. We will know soon enough I hope.

charred: I'd be interested to hear more about the expensive facilities that you say need to be moved in Tambo Grande. The following is from a post I made last summer.... "Tambo Grande is high on one of the main world indicators of poverty -- lack of a decent water supply. What this table shows is that, in 1993, 74.4 percent of the homes in Tambo Grande had no running water and no well. This was one of the highest percentages in the Piura region, which is one of the poorest areas in Peru. So I would think that the majority of the inhabitants would (a) support the future regional economic development resulting from a mining camp, and (b) be looking forward to having a home with a water supply." Unfortunately, the website with the table that I got this info from is no longer accessible. However, basic economic indicators imply that Tambo Grande is in urgent need of economic development and basic facilities such as a decent water supply. We're not talking about drinkable water here. Three quarters of the houses had no water supply only a few years ago. Regards, Howy
