Or at least the environmental ministry. I'd seen the pool (small lagoons) where they pour the or and I really don't know they went. The people there told me that it evaporates, but given the fact that it rains there most of the time it makes you wonder if the impact is greater.

I really don't get, though, how it's compared second with Haiti. Even with the poverty it's not as bad others in the same region.   I agree with you Michael, many foreigners in Nicaragua had told me that exact same thing about Nicaragua, how much they like it better than other countries in the region.

Back then the mine was operated by another Canadian conglomerate and they didn't spend much in the town either. I'm actually very happy for it's inhabitants that they have a paved a road that they can travel on back then you'd travel on a dirt road an hour or more from Juigalpa, Chontales capital.  I fondly remember being the La Libetad back in 1997 and to see there’s an actual paved road really take me a back.  Despite being the birthplace of Daniel Ortega and Miguel Cardinal Obando y Bravo the town seem to be tramped in some sort of time capsule.

"... ore is crushed then washed with a carbon and cyanide leach solution to isolate the gold." What happens to the solution after it is used to isolate the gold? This report also lacks who really is the real benefactor. Isn't the gold Nicaragua's and therefore Nicaraguan's should receive the profits? Just like Alaska residents receive oil profits.
