True Gold’s Karma project suffers damage during protest

Construction activities at Vancouver-based miner True Gold’s Karma gold project, in Burkina Faso, was again temporarily suspended on Wednesday, after an impromptu protest had left certain property and assets damaged.  Company spokesperson Blaine Monaghan told Mining Weekly Online that several hundred members thought to be from two surrounding communities had marched on the mine and threatened employees, which prompted management to suspend operations and evacuate the property in the interest of employee safety and project security.
