First Sipadan, Now Lembeh Straits???

Gold Mine Threatens Lembeh Straits, North Sulawesi

A gold mine is being opened in Rinondoran Bay by a British-based company just north of Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi. The mine plans to dump it’s cyanide waste - estimated to amount to 6-8 MILLION tons over 5 years - out to sea. The company says the waste will be dumped at 150 meters below the surface & settle in 800-1200 meters.
