We were never told, despite promises, exactly what Cambridge found when they sent their results to Australia for analysis."<br /><br />Actually no information needed to be "passed on" as it is all available to anybody via the Geological Survey of Irelands websites. Read it and you would know what was found - actually NOTHING to indicate the presence of diamond bearing rocks.<br /><br />A little research would have saved you a lot of time ranting on about something you learly know nothing about.

Email ...Environmental Disaster at Kolontar Hungary<br /><br />Email - 09/10/2010<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Dear Mr Poots,<br /><br />Hungarian media are reporting that the toxic spill in Hungary has swept into springs and rivers and may reach the Danube River. If the toxic substances run into Eastern Europe’s main water artery several countries will be put at risk. Hungary’s leader has said the affected villages should be ''written off'. It was revealed that the storage pond of heavy metals waste that burst was on a watch-list of at-risk sites for accidents. The heavy metals involved at the Kolontar disaster are similar to those stored at the Cavanacaw site, (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic).<br /><br />Omagh Minerals relocated their toxic waste storage area (tailings pond) without planning permission, and without a new environmental impact assessment being carried out. It is also known that at times of high rainfall the tailings pond has been at near bursting point. Would you therefore agree that Cavanacaw should now be put on the list of at-risk sites?<br /><br />Given that no enforcement action was taken by your department to prevent the illegal relocation of the tailings pond, will you and your colleagues at Minerals Division take responsibility should such a disaster occur at Cavanacaw?<br /><br />We await your response.<br /><br />Cavanacaw Residents Group.<br /><br />Contact - Cavanacawresidents@hotmail.comJames Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-34215588907795062512010-09-25T12:41:54.524+01:002010-09-25T12:41:54.524+01:00I actually enjoyed reading through this posting.Ma...I actually enjoyed reading through this posting.Many thanks.<a href="http://farmmachineryused.com.au/" rel="nofollow">farmmachinery used</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560710705388060443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-21612353633252397632010-09-19T07:09:08.776+01:002010-09-19T07:09:08.776+01:00What the Goldmine friendly Ulster Herald wouldn...What the Goldmine friendly Ulster Herald wouldn't print.<br /><br />Cavanacaw Goldmine / Omagh Churches Forum<br /><br />In a recent Ulster Herald article from 09/09 2010, Mr Bob Lingwood, speaking on behalf of the Omagh Churches Forum, has been singing the praises of Cavanacaw Goldmine management from high heaven. We too are well aware of the importance of job creation and decent working conditions for people, and broadly speaking wouldn't disagree with him on this point, but in our opinion if the truth be told, never did the Lord inflict such an ungodly company on anybody as when He gave us Omagh Minerals.<br /> <br />I take it that as spokesperson for the Omagh Churches Forum you consider yourself a good Christian man Mr Lingwood, but how Christian an act is it to support a company who illegally removed up to 500,000 tons of contaminated waste rock which was then buried under the Aughnacloy bypass, undoubtedly poisoning the drinking water of Gods children for many years to come? <br /><br />How Christian an act is it to support a company who in doing so, did up to half a million pounds worth of damage to the local roads infrastructure as figures released by DRD now show, and left the people of Tyrone to pay for it?<br /><br />How Christian an act is it to support a company who have stockpiled a further estimated million tons of their contaminated waste rock which can be seen for miles, intent on supplying it, we are told, to the new A5 Dual Carriageway, poisoning more of Gods children between Omagh and Sion Mills? I hope the Lord finds in His goodness to forgive you for supporting these people Mr Lingwood, but I doubt if the children of Tyrone ever will.<br /><br />Furthermore, Omagh Minerals are currently being pursued by HMRC for £330,000 of unpaid aggregate levy in relation to the rock removal scandal, they have made a number of appearances recently at Omagh Court because of a water pollution incident, on top of that the company’s own figures show that the almost exhausted Kearney vein which supposedly contained 92,000 proven ounces of gold, has so far only produced 17,500 oz a shortfall of some 70,000 oz valued at £56,000,000 at today’s prices. Is it any wonder that their 2009 accounts are showing deficits in the millions? We believe that the people of Omagh will once again be picking up the tab for this company in the not too distant future.<br /><br />Cavanacaw Residents Group<br /><br />cavanacawresidents@hotmail.comJames Green Omaghnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-91238555805169223672010-09-18T11:21:45.807+01:002010-09-18T11:21:45.807+01:00omaghminer.

It is n...Either way its a giant scam at Cavanacaw.<br /><br />It is now known that Omagh Minerals Ltd owners of the Cavanacaw Goldmine are currently under investigation by HMRC and DETINI suspected of serious Fraud. The currently being mined Kearney vein supposedly contained 92,000 proven ounces of gold, with excavation of the vein nearing completion only 17,500 ounces have been declared by the company. Some 70,000 ounces, valued at around 56 Million Pounds are unaccounted for.<br /> HMRC have calculated that the shortfall could represent a loss in VAT and Corporation Tax of up to Twenty Million Pounds to the exchequer.<br />There are only two possibilities, either the forecast of 92,000 ounces on the basis of which investors sunk up to £25,000,000 in the company was grossly exaggerated, or Gold to the value of £56,000,000 has been bootlegged out of the country.<br />Either way a Gigantic scam is taking place at Cavanacaw which we believe goes right to the heart of government, with Sammy Wilson and Edwin Poots having given the company the green light to do pretty much whatever they like. Effectively allowing them to ignore most of their planning conditions, and Omagh District Council having failed to introduce any kind of monitoring of the companies activities, despite being asked to do so as a matter of urgency by residents who realised something was going on.<br /> On top of that, HMRC are also pursuing the company for £330,000 of unpaid aggregate levy in relation to the removal of rock. One HMRC official has described the sums involved as staggering.<br />All of the local MLA'S and Councilors are aware of the situation and can be contacted at their Omagh constituency offices.<br /><br />cavanacawresidents@hotmail.comJames Green Omaghnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-89499815592629295042010-06-11T12:08:58.012+01:002010-06-11T12:08:58.012+01:00previous post deleted because the link didn't ...previous post deleted because the link didn't work.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rather than waste time splitting the discussion between two blogs I'll post a link to the answers I've given elsewhere<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://could-you-really-live-without-it.blogspot.com/2010/06/one-more-time-for-charlie.html?showComment=1276254047596_AIe9_BE6z78eyr91vXQcOXcn-WpQmHkL_wIhH4kmDyZfeS1mQXTR3NVWF5oR6ZNrjnasVwxwQ4jUTgyXPK6GwmBc_-m9hH_CqOHkBBQVCwFhSJZMXxJND-wiBgqUSKDNoE6MUftvtXIuPzho_1nCYjKgNhkerudDpqsBvfbf4CbNU6nX-huwu28p9XSW46-e1mO6R_sqLGa8hY7YEL_HEmRwS_yrvCSqJk0ln7cO4-ObrHHUlokKHE7pQi8EtCAANAxefMKU5R7a#c3397410982036019948" rel="nofollow">Mining.

Why oppose exploration if not in fear of the environmental impacts that will follow from mining, in particular gold (and even diamonds)? Of course the value of discovering gold was looked at. It won't be the environment or the local people who will benefit. And yes, Grosvenor has applied for prospecting licences in 7 areas to cover base metals, gold and gems.<br /><br />BBC News Friday May 14 1999 reported "Ireland's northernmost peninsula, Inishowen in Co. Donegal, may have to brace itself for a Klondyke like rush of prospectors after the news that serious drilling for diamonds may commence there." Well at least the value of Cambridge shares shot up after that, even though no diamonds were ever extracted! Who took the profits?<br /><br />You really should do some of your internet searching on the gold-mining fiasco at Cavanacaw, near Omagh. Once you get past the confused beginnings (1994, public enquiry) you will end up with what's happening nowadays. Try these links (there are plenty of others for you to find on harmful effects from gold-mining ... these are local)<br /> <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD9AmqIV-R4&feature=related <br /><br />http://leadminegrazing.blogspot.com/<br /><br />The figures published by the Tyrone company for the 2nd quarter of 2009 give the amount of gold at 1,977 troy ounces of gold, 5,972 troy ounces of silver, and a staggering 90.4 tonnes of lead. The goldmine has become a leadmine. 800,000 tons of aggregate has left the mine (on narrow roads) to supply material for the Aughnacloy bypass. Now the groundwater there is being affected by the lead and other heavy metals leaking out.<br /><br />140 trucks a day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgDvBeh8JBU<br /><br />12 breaches of planning conditions alone in 2009.<br /><br />Fact or fear? Or fear based on facts?<br /><br />Talking about facts, here are some. 80% of gold produced is used in jewellery. The amount of gold used in the electronic world is minute, and can be recycled (a cursory web search brought up two respectable UK based specialist companies which do this properly - it doesn't have to go to impoverished countries to impair their health). 90% of industrial diamonds are produced synthetically.<br /><br />Gold as ornament, diamonds as ornament, are NON-ESSENTIAL. Remember the story of what happened to King Midas in turning everything to gold, he lost all that he valued, family, nature, food ... and the future facing a planet with shrinking supplies of fossil fuels and a rapidly changing climate certainly won't be able to enjoy gold and diamonds. Inishowen's ability to feed itself and offer a low-carbon tourism attraction will outlast any short-term lust for the yellow metal.<br /><br />Organic fish farm? Are you sure? Can't find a reference to that.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-72221404485456757102010-04-30T17:20:04.367+01:002010-04-30T17:20:04.367+01:00First notice published in non-local paper, Dept ag...First notice published in non-local paper, Dept agreed to re-advertise after protest.<br /><br />The Dept guidelines for exploration refer to heavy extraction equipment, drilling rigs i.e. <br /><br />exploration MAY be invasive. Cambridge Minerals (1997-2000) in publicly released documentation <br /><br />makes reference to deep drilling and extensive trenching in their exploratory search for <br /><br />diamonds.<br /><br />Quoting from the 1940 Act "the licensee is instructed that before exercising the rights of entry <br /><br />conferred by the Licence, they should, as far as may be practicable, discuss with the landowner <br /><br />or the surface occupier their intention to enter on the property and to carry out certain <br /><br />prospecting work there". The words to watch are: "as far as may be practicable". At the moment <br /><br />the status of the law suggests negotiated agreement between the landowner and the prospector. In <br /><br />the event of agreement not being reached, the law is less than clear, and even less so when it <br /><br />comes to commonage. <br /><br />Proospecting licences are being applied for, and given, without all due information given by the <br /><br />Dept, the company or the local authority. This is contrary to the Aarhus Convention, signed by <br /><br />all EU countries in 2001, and ratified by all except Ireland. Much of the unnecessary <br /><br />speculation and fears arise from this single factor.<br /><br />There are no goldmines in the Republic, and only one in the UK, in Co Tyrone, where mining <br /><br />commenced 3 years ago (the first in the last 2000 years of British mining history).<br /><br />On blood diamonds (and see paragraph above: this company may not be interested in diamonds, we <br /><br />can't know): your figures are on the very low end of what is considered to be an ongoing trade. <br /><br />Ghana has been a suspect country in this regard; a report said "With effect from November 24,<br /><br />[2006] this year, Ghana could not export diamonds unless the diamonds were inspected by experts <br /><br />of the World Diamond Council...<br />The measure was the result of United Nation's Panel of experts report on Ghana, which alleged <br /><br />that, the country was dealing in conflict diamonds from neighbouring countries." Some put the <br /><br />figure of conflict diamonds as high as 16%. The point remains a valid one, and no specific <br /><br />accusation is made in the paragraph referred to.<br /><br />Making a physical visit to Carndonagh Garda station revealed the absence of the required map.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845241996115846599.post-13405178096621380512010-04-29T02:35:21.772+01:002010-04-29T02:35:21.772+01:00First of all Mr, Ms or Mrs Anonymous, who are you?...First of all Mr, Ms or Mrs Anonymous, who are you?<br />As long as you hide you HAVE something to hide. Untrustful! Why should I even talk to you?<br />Scaremongering and lies can only be stopped with openness.<br />I'm sure your parents have given you a name.<br />2ndly, solid growth and development can only be achieved with transparency AND the involvement of the local people and their concerns. Anything else is cronyismn (what we already have for the badness of the majority of the people) or even dictatorship (I hope we are not really going that way). Do you really wonder about this "over reaction"? Me not. Because we are just afraid being overrun and cheated again. If you want to contribute anything here then first of all show us who you are and where you are really hitting for, or I have to recognize you as a spoof, nothing else.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261099175727972890noreply@blogger.com
