" 3. Indigenous leaders denounce in Montreal, the activities of the mining Barrick Gold Corporation. Indigenous leaders from Australia, Chile and Papua New Guinea are currently in Canada with the purpose of engaging in parallel to the general assembly of shareholders of the company Barrick Gold Corporation. Indian leaders have come to present their deep concerns from the impacts of mining activities of this company and to denounce the current critical situation facing this kind of exploitation in their territories. Barrick conducts various mining projects in indigenous ancestral lands in those countries, without respecting the rights to self-determination, autonomy and free and informed consent of those communities.
