In Colombia, the Constitutional Court has ruled in favor of the miners and residents of the town of Marmato, who have been fighting an open pit gold mine for 10 years. In their ruling Tuesday, the judges said the town’s Afro-Colombian and indigenous residents, who have been fighting the massive project, have the right to be consulted about whether the Canadian-based Gran Colombia Gold Corporation can continue parts of construction.
