This is a clip from CBC's On The Map with Avi Lewis where he interviews Andrew Grant of Skye Resources Limited for the corporate point of view. You can see the full programme here with a documentary report from CBC correspondent, Jean-Michel LePrince. The programme was aired 20 June this year.
"In the 1970's, nickel giant, Inco mined the site near the town of El Estor. The company left a ghost town behind in 1981 as the civil war in Guatemala raged. Now the price of nickel is at a twenty year high and a Canadian company is back.
Skye Resources, based in Vancouver, bought the land from Inco and is ramping up to start production. If you talk to the company, the community is solidly behind them and if you talk to the mayor, you'll hear the same thing."
