In case you missed it (I almost did), a notice has been published in the July 22, 2012 Amandala stating that an EIA has been submitted by Boiton Minerals for gold mining operations within the Chiquibul Forest, Cayo District.

A public consultation is scheduled for August 7th at 7pm at the San Ignacio Hotel.

The EIA is available at http://www.doe.gov.bz/EIAs.html and the paper says it is also available at the San Ignacio Library and at FCD office.

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS INFORMATION TO OTHERS WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
