...The Cerro Blanco project is not a gold mine; it is an exploration project...Cerro Blanco has built one water treatment plant, even before the mine construction has begun. This functioning water treatment plant receives naturally-occurring water pumped from the underground. A second water treatment plant will be built prior to operations...Once treated, water quality will be of a higher standard than the current, naturally-occurring water quality...The reports state the Cerro Blanco project complies with all Guatemalan laws, including employee safety, labour conditions, and human rights...The design for the Cerro Blanco project does not include a tailings pond...No contaminated or hot water will be discharged into the environment...
