The Independent Complaints Mechanism of the development banks will now seek to bring the mine’s owner, Avesoro Resources, into a formal mediation process with the complainants, who are supported by Liberian and international nongovernmental organizations, including Rights and Rights Foundation, Foundation for Community Initiatives, Society for the Conservation of Nature Liberia, Inclusive Development International, Oxfam Novib and SOMO. “Allegedly serious harm was caused through the release of harmful chemicals between December 2015 and June 2016.”ĭEG and Proparco have direct links to the western Liberian mine through their investments FirstRand, a commercial bank in South African. “The complainants allege that they have suffered substantial harm from resettlement from the area where the mine was established, from environmental impacts and impacts from river diversion,” the Independent Complaint Mechanism said. The villagers are represented by 21 townspeople from five villages. In their complaint they filed in February and reviewed by the banks’ Independent Complaints Mechanism in July, the villagers accuse the mining company of taking their homes and farms, polluted their water, and breaking promises to provide jobs, schools and other facilities. MONROVIA – More than 10,000 villagers who allege being harmed by Bea Mountain Mining Corporation’s New Liberty Gold Mine in Kinjor, Grand Cape Mount County, have had their complaint accepted against the German and French national development banks – DEG and Proparco – for their involvement in the project.
