Several gold mines in northern Niger managed by a Chinese company were ordered to temporarily close after dozens of animals died from drinking wastewater, local authorities told AFP on Sunday.
Chinese-Owned Gold Mines Temporarily Closed: Several gold mines in northern Niger, managed by a Chinese company, were recently ordered to temporarily close. The decision came after dozens of animals died from drinking wastewater near the town of Tabelot. The company involved is Sahara SARL1. Artisanal Gold Mine Collapse: In November 2021, an artisanal gold mine collapsed in southern Niger, near the border with Nigeria. At least 18 people were killed, and seven others were injured. The incident occurred when artisanal wells collapsed at the Garin-Liman mine site in the Maradi region. Rescue operations were ongoing to search for trapped bodies234. Previous Closures and Industry Modernization: The Niger government had previously closed several artisanal gold mines in 2017 as part of efforts to modernize the industry. Accidents at these sites are frequent due to soil instability and outdated mining methods employed by the miners2. Industrial Mine in Niger: Since 2004, Niger has had only one industrial gold mine located at Samira in the Tillaberi region2.
Tell ya again, Countries need to take back their own resources, boot everyone else out from owning their lands, including the US out and US needs to take back every inch of their own Land as well. Africa as a whole could be a very wealthy and thriving country but, instead, it is exploited by other countries and Global organizations who are profiting off of Africa resources and dont care about Africans, the wildlife or the local eco systems of Africa.
WHO owns ALL the major mining Co,s? YES the usual suspects! UNTIL we break the Cabal banking system this shit will continue.
Humans like to exploit other humans by nature...but when greed and rare earth minerals are in the picture...I think the Chinese do it best...world over...the poorer the country...the more they exploit it...the lower the quality of mining integrity and safety...You dont see the chinese doing this in australia...where they have numerous mines and expansion has been ongoing in a big big big way...Australia has more chinese owned mining companies and mining leases than any other country in the world...all chinese owned.
China owns or has a finger in the pie of other countries natural resources and infrastructure, water, energy, property etc.
Our Governments are sell-outs!
Agreed...Canada is amongst the sellouts also...RIO TINTO...biggest arm in mining...chinese owned and lots of subs under that banner.
Stack often and stack high. The only way to hedge against inflation robbing generational wealth...
Mercury poisoning. Guaranteed.
