Bluestone–Elevar Resources

CompanyAsunción Mita

Details

Holder of Cerro Blanco (gold, Asunción Mita): a municipal consultation in September 2022 returned 87% against open-pit mining; an updated EIA approved on 9 January 2024 was declared invalid on 14 June 2024 by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) and the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) on 7 anomalies (forged signatures, more than 900 pages missing); the switch from underground to open-pit requires an entirely new project.

AddressAsunción Mita, Jutiapa

Directory source

the dossier does not specify the corporate relationship between Bluestone and Elevar; the basin is shared with El Salvador (OCMAL record: damage since 1997, conflict since 2007)
