Guatemalan Supreme Court Reinstates Escobal License
Tahoe Resources reported that the Guatemalan Supreme Court issued a decision that reinstates the Escobal mining license of Tahoe's Guatemalan subsidiary, Minera San Rafael (MSR). This decision reverses the Supreme Court's preliminary decision to suspend MSR's license in connection with an action brought by the antimining organization, CALAS, against Guatemala's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM). CALAS alleged that MEM violated the Xinca indigenous people's right of consultation in advance of granting the Escobal mining license to MSR. As part of its decision, the Supreme Court ordered MEM to conduct a consultation under ILO Convention 169.
