The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a lower court decision that Máxima Acuña Atalaya de Chaupe and her family’s case against US-based Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT) should be heard in Peru, rather than in the United States.
Engaged in a legal fight with the mining giant for over three years now, the Chaupe family alleges that their home was destroyed when Newmont started building its $5-billion Conga gold and copper project. The Peruvian potato farmers say their attempts to rebuild the matriarch’s house have been blocked through the use of harassment and violence.
