La Puya Resistance: P&F Remove Machinery

An excavator passes by the resistance camp at La Puya.
In a blow to Kappes, Cassiday & Associates' (KCA) El Tambor gold mine project, Guatemalan company P&F Contratistas removes its heavy machinery from the site after breaking its agreement with the U.S.-based mining company. The Guatemalan company sited lack of payment by KCA since October 2013 as a reason for its action. Locals from San Jose del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc have blocked all entrance to the mine since March 2, 2012, in a peaceful resistance to what they claim is an illegal mining project in their territory. La Puya, San Pedro Ayampuc, Guatemala, Guatemala. February 26, 2014.
