Mexico’s proposed higher mining royalties could block nearly $7bn in investments
The Mexican government proposed raising mining royalties under the argument that metal prices have risen in recent years.
Canada’s Centerra Gold said Monday it doesn’t tolerate behaviour that is insensitive to any cultural or national group after one of its contract workers in Kyrgyzstan was reportedly arrested for comparing a local sausage dish to a horse’s penis on social media.
The Toronto-based gold miner says Michael Mcfeat, a Scottish welder, was arrested in Kyrgyzstan after making the comment on Facebook.
According to a screen grab posted online by U.K. newspaper the Telegraph showing what appear to be workers eating in a company canteen, the comment said: “The Kyrgyz people Queuing out the door for there special delicacy the horses penis!!!”
