紫金(02899.HK)哥伦比亚金矿因非法偷挖导致两成产量损失
《路透》报道,紫金矿业(02899.HK)位於哥伦比亚武里蒂卡(Buritica)的金矿,在非法偷挖下面临产量损失。
报道指,千计非法矿工在数十个隧道内非法开采,武里蒂卡有约150个非法加工点。该等非法挖掘隧道由当地犯罪组织海湾部族(Clan del Golfo)控制,组织允许偷挖者保留部分黄金,并以金钱及水银换取黄金。水银为从泥土分隔黄金的化学品。
报道引述紫金矿业於当地的高层指,非法矿工严重影响当地金矿产量,损失为总产量两成。公司已把今年当地产金目标由24万盎司降至20万盎司,且永远无法达到每月最少出产500斤黄金的目标。
报道亦指,金矿引来更多民众前往淘金。武里蒂卡市场担心引来民族解放军及其他组织到来争夺,造成暴力冲突。
