MINERS: Infinito Gold sues Costa Rica for $1 billion

Canadian mining company Infinito Gold has announced it would file a lawsuit against Costa Rica unless the government fails to allow the company to continue work in the Crucitas project.

Anabel González, Costa Rica's trade minister, received a letter from Infinito stating that the government breached several aspects of the free trade agreement between the two countries.
