El Salvador: OceanaGold fails to pay $8 million intl. arbitration tribunal award; 280 NGOs demand the company leave the country

280 NGOs sent a letter to OceanaGold describing the negative impacts of mining in the country and requesting the company to pay immediately the $8 million USD for legal fees and expenses; to issue a public apology; to leave the country, and to cooperate fully with the investigation of assassinations in the conflict between the mining company and the community.

We invited OceanaGold to respond to this letter; the response is available below.
