Guatemala court grants Tahoe unit San Rafael right to operate

Guatemala’s Supreme Court has ruled that the local unit of Canadian miner Tahoe Resources can restart work at its Juan Bosco and El Escobal mines while carrying out a mandatory consultation of the local indigenous population.

On its Twitter feed, Guatemala’s judicial authority said on Friday night that the court had ordered the San Rafael unit to conduct the survey of the indigenous population on their views about the mining projects during the next year.
