Let’s bury the 2010 Lat-Am Mining Congress in Miami this April

Once again, for its sunny weather and its strategic position as the overly played out capitalist "Gateway to the Americas," this April the southern tip of the Florida peninsula will play host to a special array of parasites: representatives of a variety of ore-mining multinational companies, international development banks and other investors, and ministers of mining who seek to promote and expand what has become one of the most environmentally devastating industries. Mining is one of the most widely, popularly contested issues in Latin America, pitting the region´s land based communities and social movements against the state governments that encompass them. Many of the people forcibly displaced from these projects have settled in South Florida, because of the proximity and likeness to home, and now the giants of mining come to taunt them.

Some of the more prominent earth destroyers to show their faces at the LatAm Mining Investment Congress in Coral Gables this spring include:

- Mr Rodolfo Sabonge, Vice President, Office of the Market Research and Analysis, Panama Canal Authority
- Mr. Hernan Martinez Torres, Colombia Minister of Mining & Energy, Ministry of Energy & Mining
- Dr Claudio Scliar, Brazil Secretary of Geology, Mining, and Mineral Processing, Ministry of Mines & Energy
- Mr Jose de Jesus Martin del Campo Esparza, General Director of Mining Promotion, Ministry of Economy - Mexico
- Mr. Salvador Garcia, VP Mexico, Goldcorp Inc.
- Mr. Abraham Morris Fox, Structured and Corporate Finance, Inter-American Development Bank
- Mr John Price, Managing Director, Kroll
