Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation
2008
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation (PVDC) has announced that it is making steady progress at its Pueblo Viejo site in Sanchez Ramirez province. PVDC is a joint venture between the Canadian mining companies:
-
(((Barrick Gold))) Corporation, based in Toronto, which holds a sixty per cent interest,
-
and Vancouver-based (((Goldcorp Inc.))), which holds a forty per cent interest.
The project is the largest foreign investment in the history of the Dominican Republic. The total pre-production capital budget is expected to be approximately US$2.7 billion. An additional US$300 million would follow to complete a phased expansion to bring the processing plant to 24,000 tonnes per day (tpd) from the initial 18,000 tpd once Pueblo Viejo is in operation.

I'm including the article here with additional quotes to tie the links between the Bushes, Soros, early CIA, to Clintons, Giustra, to Dominican Republic and Haiti. https://www.larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1997/eirv24n02-19970103/eirv24n02-19970103_019-inside_story_the_bush_gang_and_b.pdf
Inside story: the Bush gang and Barrick Gold Corporation
Using the influence of this political faction, Barrick acquired important interests, first in the United States, then in Canada and South America. In South America, as Barrick boasts in its 1995 annual report, the company has an aggressive, long-term approach, with mines and projects established in strategic locations in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. "Almost two-thirds of the exploration and development drilling budget will be spent in South America, where the company has decided to focus its efforts," the annual report states. In addition, with its intended conquests in Indonesia and Africa, the firm now says it aims to move from third to first among the world's largest gold mining companies.
Peter Munk and Barrick director Andrew Sarlos are very close associates of international speculator George Soros, in a grouping of Hungarian Jewish emigres. A personal investment director for Britain's Queen Elizabeth, Soros is the world's leading promoter of the legitimization of criminal enterprises, particularly narcotics
The majority investment in the firm was held by Adan Khashoggi and his arms-trafficking partners, who were just then gearing up the Iran-Israel-Nicaragua guns and cocaine tangle which would explode in 1986 as the "Iran-Contra" scandal.
(((Adnan Khashoggi, a Bush-allied Saudi billionaire and arms trafficker, founder of the Barrick Gold Corp.; famous for his illegal weapons sales to Iran )))
The nominal chief of Barrick Gold was Peter Munk, a Hungarian Jewish immigrant...
Munk's rise in Australia was aided by his lifelong close association with fellow Hungarian emigre Sir Peter Abeles, Australia's transport mogul. Munk' s stepfather had been secretary and assistant to Abeles's father in Vienna in the late 1940s.
Abeles is reportedly known in Europe as "the White Knight," in reference both to his British knighthood, and his reported large role in the cocaine trade. Jonathan Kwitney, in The Crimes of Patriots (New York: W.W. Norton, 1987), reports that, after Abeles encountered labor union problems in his American business, Abeles gave to gangster "associates of ... the most powerful Mafia leader in the United States ..

Barrick Gold
“Barrick Gold could be compared to a cancer, a cancer that grows bit by bit, destroying each one of our organs, until it takes our lives.” http://upsidedownworld.org/archives/caribbean/fighting-for-their-water-and-their-lives-communities-take-direct-action-against-barrick-gold-in-the-dominican-republic/
I'm including this regarding Bush and Barrick Gold Corp,
https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2415622 CIA's connection to elite pedophilia @lamplight
Holt says GHWB took orders from the CFR and had blackmail files on everyone. He developed close ties with SA, Germany, and Israel intelligence. He was best friends with the Saudi royal family and lived there in their palaces much of the time. Bill Clinton was involved with CIA in Iran-Contra and Bush groomed him to be the next president. Upon leaving the White House, Bush became affiliated with the Carlyle Group which made him a billionaire.
He founded Barrick Gold Corporation to launder CIA gold. According to Holt, Soros and Wanta made trillions from Bush brothers’ collapse of Russia’s currency and theft of Russia’s gold. Bill Clinton took his orders from GHWB but let his position go to his head leading to the CF and Hillary’s run for the presidency.
Goldcorp was officially incorporated in 1994. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldcorp
In 2001 Rob McEwen, Goldcorp founder, and (((Frank Giustra))), purchased Wheaton River Minerals, which was then a junior company. By 2005, as the price of gold rose, Ian Telfer, a "mine entrepreneur...turned an insignificant shell company into a billion dollar gold producer." In 2005 Goldcorp absorbed Wheaton River Minerals.[7] According to Bloomberg News, Wheaton River Minerals was the precursor for both Goldcorp and Endeavour.[4] By 2014, Goldcorp was the world's fourth-largest producer of gold.[8]
Ian Telfer is a British-born Canadian mining executive, entrepreneur and Chairman of the Board and Director of Goldcorp Inc. Besides leading Goldcorp, he is known for founding and leading other Canadian mining companies, including TVX Gold, Silver Wheaton Corp., and Uranium One, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Telfer
In addition to his work with Wheaton River Minerals and Goldcorp, Telfer has founded and led other mining companies. In 2006, Telfer and Frank Giustra formed UrAsia Energy, a uranium producer operating a mine in Kazakhstan.[15][16] Telfer served as UrAsia’s Chairman.[16] In 2007, UrAsia merged with Uranium One Inc., with Telfer continuing on as Uranium One’s Chairman.[16]
2003—2007: Frank Giustra formed a company called Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. for business in Colombia. Starting in 2005, Giustra meets with Bill Clinton and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, then wins lucrative business deals in Colombia. By 2007 the three even met in Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, New York. In the same year Pacific Rubiales signs a $300 million deal to build a pipeline in central Colombia, gains control of Colombia’s largest oilfield, and acquires the right to cut timber in a biologically diverse Colombian forest.
Also in 2007, Giustra and Bill Clinton cofound a Canadian offshoot of the Clinton Foundation called the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP). It will later be alleged that this is a “slush fund” allowing foreigners to donate money indirectly to the Clinton Foundation in the hopes of getting favorable treatment from the Clintons.
Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (CGSGI)
In 2008, Telfer pledged $3 million to the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative.[24]
According to the Clinton Foundation website, CGSGI is "pioneering an innovative approach to poverty alleviation."[9]
CGSGI aims to alleviate poverty in the developing world in partnership with the global mining community. Along with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, Giustra pledged a minimum of $100 million each toward the effort and the money was given to the Clinton Foundation.[7] On June 17, 2010, Giustra joined wth Carlos Slim and President Clinton to create a $20 million fund to assist small businesses in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.[10]
May 2017
“Gold — of all the money-generating things I do, it’s my favorite and the one I understand the best,” Giustra says.
Among his business interests, Leagold is the one that’s currently got his attention. Its Los Filos deposit in Mexico’s Guerrero state is twice the size of assets that launched Endeavour and Goldcorp-precursor Wheaton River Minerals Ltd., he says.

Back in 2001, he had become convinced that gold, then trading below $300 (U.S.) an ounce, was poised for a run, in part because low interest rates would erode the value of the U.S. dollar--a stunningly accurate prediction. Along with Ian Telfer, a gregarious veteran mining executive who'd taken a wrong turn in the dot-com world, he bought a controlling stake in Wheaton River Minerals, a dormant mining company then valued at $20 million. Wheaton's first major acquisition was the Luisman mine in Mexico.

“Investing in Conflict” is about the unjust global economic order and how global companies, usually based in North America and Europe, operate across the planet, calling their business enterprises “development” while violating human rights, causing environmental harms and undermining local economies"

@kestrel9: Thank you for presenting all these dots! Impressive.
May I ask you to add a short paragraph at the top of your post, with a short summary what the post is about?
I'm afraid otherwise readers might be a bit lost. Thank you! :-)

You forgot to remove the flair. Or maybe Voat being down prevented it. Removing now.

Traffic is really heavy. Q mentioned Abramovich. Plus everyone in the USA is live streaming the Trump rally. :-)

What I don't understand is why other people have been able to access Voat again for hours.
I thought it was a DDOS attack due to the Lithuanian post or the post about the HRC videos.... ;-)

This Q stuff has kept me busy today...but somewhere I saw Putt saying he was doing maintenance.

Response to criticisms of Barrick Gold regarding quality of water. No date on document but newer than 2012
Report on Barrick Gold's water treatment for one area of preexisting contamination http://barrick.q4cdn.com/808035602/files/pueblo-viejo/Pueblo-Viejo-Environment-Water-Fact-Sheet.pdf
* The previous operator of Pueblo Viejo closed the operation in 1999 without proper environmental remediation, leaving a legacy of polluted soil and water. After acquiring control of Pueblo Viejo, PVDC assumed responsibility for environmental remediation of areas within the mine development boundary
* While Barrick monitors downstream water quality in the Margajita together with local communities, the company is not responsible for treating downstream water or the tributaries that feed this section of the river, as these areas fall well outside the mine development boundary
* PVDC also agreed to provide $75 million to fund the clean-up of historical liabilities that are the responsibility of the Dominican government. The management plan for the clean-up phase is currently awaiting government approval.

Probably unrelated but Pueblo Viejo is also a chain of restaurants in Florida.
