In Colombia, the town of Cajamarca has voted by a landslide to halt the plans for the South African-based corporation AngloGold Ashanti to build a massive open-pit gold mine. The website Colombia Reports says the vote marks the first time a Colombian town has ever voted to ban mining in its territory. Meanwhile, in central China, at least 11 people have died in two separate accidents at gold mines in Henan Province on Friday.
