RE:Re:Gold mine fined $100,000. Toxic air pollution found..... Akram123 and Psych01.
Akram123 – you bring to our attention a Feb 12 article saying OGC’s Haile operations have been fined $100,000 for:
- releasing excessive amounts of mercury
- failing to submit pollution test results,
- providing misleading statements and
- failing to get an environmental permit.
Needless to say, that is disconcerting, especially for a company that prides itself on its ESG ratings.
Psych01. You do not dispute the misdemeanor but claim the problem is already fixed. You go on to question the point of Akram’s post. I hope you are right about the problem being resolved. However, I think Akram’s point was to bring this transgression to our attention. I appreciate that information. I would also appreciate more information from you about why you say the problem has been solved.
I believe OGC is an ethical and well-run. Nonetheless, I am looking for all information that supports or refutes my opinion. While I realize that any company can commit periodic errors, if a pattern emerges, I become concerned.
