La Puya Mining Resistance

Alvaro Sandoval, local leader from San Pedro Ayampuc, at the La Puya resistance blockade. Since March 2nd, 2012, local neighbors from San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc have blocked the entrance to the EXMINGUA gold mine - owned by Kappes, Cassiday & Assocaites (KCA) based in Reno, Nevada, USA. Residents from the communities claim the industrial activity in their territories as illegal since they were not appropriately consulted before the mine began operating. La Puya, San Pedro Ayampuc, Guatemala. May 14, 2013.
