INVESTING IN CONFLICT

Minerals, Militarization and Resistance:

Canadian Mining Companies in the Americas


The operations of Canadian and US mining companies, set up in the
quest for minerals and Wealth for executives and shareholders, are
becoming flash-points for community resistance across the Americas.

Who benefits from these mining operations, and who pays?


What is the role of North Americans –governments, private sector and
citizens –in allowing these conflicts to continue, and how can we help
bring them to an end?


Join us for a discussion with Dawn Paley, an independent journalist
and researcher based in San Marcos, Guatemala.
