紫金(02899.HK)哥倫比亞金礦因非法偷挖導致兩成產量損失
《路透》報道,紫金礦業(02899.HK)位於哥倫比亞武里蒂卡(Buritica)的金礦,在非法偷挖下面臨產量損失。
報道指,千計非法礦工在數十個隧道內非法開採,武里蒂卡有約150個非法加工點。該等非法挖掘隧道由當地犯罪組織海灣部族(Clan del Golfo)控制,組織允許偷挖者保留部分黃金,並以金錢及水銀換取黃金。水銀為從泥土分隔黃金的化學品。
報道引述紫金礦業於當地的高層指,非法礦工嚴重影響當地金礦產量,損失為總產量兩成。公司已把今年當地產金目標由24萬盎司降至20萬盎司,且永遠無法達到每月最少出產500斤黃金的目標。
報道亦指,金礦引來更多民眾前往淘金。武里蒂卡市場擔心引來民族解放軍及其他組織到來爭奪,造成暴力衝突。
