Lafayette Test Run - Used Water

Your commentary failed to mention one important fact. The Lafayette test run of the mine was done with only water. Your claims sound pretty "fishy".
claims

How about updating your website with the latest media releases indicating that claims of polution were an hoax. Also part of tests were carried out using water, therefore where did polution come from. Government also released statement that company meeting all current requirements. A little balanced reporting would be appreciated......
those two commets did not make sense

what did you mean by "they only used water"? what else would they have used.
and WRX: if you're so eager for balanced reporting, why don't you provide the media releases yourself on your post?
one big hoax

the only thing lafayette has been guilty of is 2 minor spills in which one killed approx 5kg of fish.since then it has been unsubstantiated claims and fabricated incidents by anti mining groups who have caused 10 times the pollution and loss of income for the locals.far worse happens all over the philippines on a daily basis that goes unreported and receives no attention at all.some would equate this minor incident to the oil spill in the visayas.
whoa
