I liked this part: "Schulich is one of Canada's most astute investors." I listened to the NGD cc yesterday but there was nothing in it that wasn't in the news release. Only one question from analyst Catherine Gignac of Wellington and that was it.

The conflict between the Canadian company Minefinders, owner of Minera Dolores, and ejidatarios of Huizopa municipality of Wood, flared up this Thursday, when employees of the company marched and blockaded streets in front of the palace of state government to demand the opening of the mine closed on August 8 last by the commoners, who require economic benefits and participation in the "liquid sharing" of the foreign company. A few hundred employees of the company Minera Dolores blocked the street Aldama, compared to the seat of state government, and demanded the authorities to send police forces to ensure the resumption of work at the company, which was forced to stop work before the blockade of its facilities, conducted from last Friday by a group of ejido members of Huizopa. In the meantime, the representative of the community, Enrique Torres, reported that in the village of Dolores, on Wednesday and on Thursday were presented attempted clashes between employees of the mining and ejidatarios of Huizopa, which guard access to facilities, and warned on the risk of an outbreak of violence. In that sense, non-governmental organization Project on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Prodesc) issued a "request for urgent action" to protect demonstrators. "We have seen the mobilization of at least two platoons of military zone toward peaceful camp and are making Rondine to 30 meters from the community," settled in a statement. Managers of the company Minera Dolores announced that they are willing to hold negotiations with ejidatarios of Huizopa, but refused to accept the conditions imposed by commoners by the use of the land where the reservoir is built, as is the allocation of 25 per cent of liquid annual profits obtained by transnational. The company offered to pay 10 million pesos for the purchase of ejido land where the mine is, the contribution of 12 million pesos for the improvement of the road-Dolores Wood, the establishment of a fund of 60 million pesos for development productive programs over 15 years to train farmers in order to incorporate them as workforce to the company, payment of a bonus 8 million pesos for the relocation of the nucleus of the village of Dolores and the adoption of a programme environmental protection by 8.5 billion dollars to ensure the recovery of land. In this context, the Congress issued a point of agreement that urges the governor of Chihuahua, José Reyes Baeza, to ensure that the case between ejidatarios of Huizopa and the company Minefinders be resolved "through dialogue and consultation and not through the use of public force.
