I had no idea that Serabi Gold is doing this. How can anyone with a moral compass support this?
A UK company is mining gold in the Brazilian Amazon on disputed land
A British company is mining gold in the Amazon without the permission of the federal land agency, on disputed land, with licences contested by state agencies, and before a nearby Indigenous community has properly been consulted, an investigation by Unearthed and partners has found.
Serabi Gold, which is listed on London’s AIM and the Toronto stock exchanges, has been blasting open 4.5m wide tunnels at the Coringa (Joker) site in Pará state, and last year began trucking ore for processing at a second mine it owns 120 miles away.
“Everything [regarding this project] is wrong,” said Ana Carolina Alfinito, a legal consultant at Amazon Watch, a nonprofit organisation working to protect the rainforest and Indigenous people. Serabi told Unearthed it is “completely comfortable” with its legal position, complies with the Brazilian legal mining framework and has all the necessary permits for Coringa.
