Probe sought into Canadian-owned mine in Guatemala

In addition to their vigil outside the gates of Canadian-owned Escobal Mine, Xinka protesters maintained a presence outside Guatemala’s Supreme court in advance of the court’s September decision to confirm suspension of the mine’s licence. The signs read, “No to influence trading on behalf of San Rafael Mining.”

In the absence of a long-promised federal ombudsperson, legal experts have asked the British Columbia Securities Commission to investigate the sale of a Canadian-owned silver mine in Guatemala.
