Conveniently absent from any of Perlez’ articles are mention of any of a litany of well-respected scientific groups which have conducted studies of the Bay. The Minamata Institute of Japan (the world’s leading authority on mercury poisoning), The World Health Organization (WHO), and numerous other groups have all cleared Newmont of any wrongdoing.

Please read the full article.

Also ex Chairman of the Indonesian Mining Association Beni Wahju submitted this article that was published in the Petrominer June 15, 2005
