In June 1995, in Omai , a gold mining operation (open pit) jointly owned by two canadian companies : Cambior Inc. and Golden Star Resources released cyanide laced tailings into the major river in Guyana, Essequibo. The result: all fish died along a few mile long strech. The company emploees tried to collect all the dead fish and dispose of them. Unfortunately for the poor saps they got caught and the story reached the local newspapers: Starbrooke News and The Cronicle. The involved companies tried and partially succeeded in suppressing the fast developing news. It's a shame that a civilized country like ours would stoop to such disregard for mother nature.
