FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
Since 1997, residents of the Mexican village of Cerro de San Pedro and the surrounding area have been fighting a large-scale open-pit gold and silver
mine. Canadian corporation Metallica Resources Inc. has backed the project since its inception.
Mining operations began in 2006 without
required environmental permits and despite the repression of dissent, a political assassination, and widespread allegations of corruption. In July 2008, Metallica Resources will merge with two other junior mining firms to form New Gold Inc.
Join Mexican anti-mine activists at the site of Metallica Resource's last
shareholder meeting as they bring the resistance to Canada and give future
New Gold shareholders a preview of the battle ahead.
