Silver production for the second quarter was 470,310 ounces, 12 per cent higher when compared against the budget for the period and 5 per cent higher than silver production for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in head grade for lead and zinc is due to the low base metal content of the silver ore from level 6 of the Animas Vein, which is being blended into the mill feed.

Fortuna discovers high-grade silver mineralization in initial drilling at Don Luis II Vein, Caylloma Mine



August 30, 2010: Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI / Lima Stock Exchange: FVI)is pleased to announce the results of initial drilling completed in the Don Luis II vein at the Caylloma Mine located in southern Peru. The Don Luis II vein is located in the western portion of the Caylloma District where no prior development or mining has taken place. The vein outcrops over a strike length of approximately 400 meters and ranges from approximately 1 to 3 meters in width at the surface (see Fortuna news release dated May 12th, 2010). Twelve diamond drill holes totalling 2,283 meters have been completed to test the vein from near surface to approximately 200 meter depth.

Highlights of the drilling include:
DLUS000110               816 g/t Ag and 0.27 g/t Au over 3.05m from 148.75m
DLUS000410               864 g/t Ag and 0.07 g/t Au over 0.50m from 93.30m
DLUS000910               639 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au over 3.40m from 232.90m
DLUS001010               621 g/t Ag and 1.41 g/t Au over 1.00m from 140.00m
Widths given are drill hole widths with the drill holes in general oriented sub-perpendicular to the strike of the vein. Assay results from the twelve drill holes are summarized below with length-weighted assay averages calculated for the principal mineralized intervals.

A drill hole location map and longitudinal section illustrating the drill results are available on the Company’s website:
The full results of the drilling are currently being compiled and interpreted. The mineralization is open to depth and further drilling is warranted to test for favorable structural environments within the main mineralized horizon in the Caylloma District. 
Vilafro Exploration Drilling
Two drill holes totaling 304 meters were completed in the Vilafro target at Caylloma to test for extensions of high grade silver mineralization encountered in surface outcrops.  Although weak silver anomalies were encountered in the drilling, no significant mineralization was detected and no further drilling is planned in the Vilafro area.
 
Background
During the second quarter of 2010, the Caylloma Mine reported silver production of 470,310 ounces, a 5% increase over the corresponding period in 2009, along with significant quantities of lead, zinc and copper (see Fortuna news release dated July 13th, 2010).  Current production at the Caylloma Mine comes primarily from the polymetallic Animas Vein supplemented with the production of high-grade silver ores from the Bateas and Soledad veins.
 
Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, drill core samples are split on-site by diamond saw. One half of the core is submitted to the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru.  The remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes.  Following preparation, the samples are assayed for gold by standard fire assay methods and for silver and base metals by ICP and atomic absorption methods utilizing an aqua regia digestion.  The QA-QC program at Caylloma includes the blind insertion of certified reference standards at a frequency of approximately 1 per 15 normal samples and the insertion of assay blanks at a frequency of approximately 1 per 15 normal samples.  Drill results reported in this news release correspond to HQ core.

Fortuna’s San Jose Project on Schedule for Production in Q3 2011
 

October 20, 2010: Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI / Lima Stock Exchange: FVI) is pleased  to provide an update on construction activities at its 100% owned San Jose silver-gold project in Oaxaca, Mexico.  Construction of the US$ 56 million project is on schedule and budget for completion and commissioning of the mine in the third quarter of 2011.  

Once in operation at a rate of 1,500 tpd, the San Jose Mine will produce 5 million silver equivalent ounces annually at a cash cost of US$ 6.20 per ounce (see Fortuna’s news release dated April 26, 2010).  At that point, Fortuna’s consolidated annual silver equivalent production will be 7 million ounces plus base metal credits from the Caylloma Mine.  Operations are scheduled to start at 1,000 tpd and achieve full design capacity of 1,500 tpd within 24 months from the start of operations.  The technical report of the San Jose Project is available on the Company’s website atwww.fortunasilver.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .
 
Construction Highlights
  • To the end of September, US$ 11.5 million invested in construction or 21% of CAPEX.
  • Rebuilding of the grey water treatment plant, source of 20% of make-up water for the operation, is completed and pipeline installation to the mine site is 84% advanced.
  • Ground preparation for the process plant is 80% advanced with concrete foundation and civil work to start shortly.
  • Purchase orders for all major equipment have been placed; the 13' x 19.5' ball mill arrived on site in September.
  • Tailings dam construction is 40% advanced and is scheduled for completion in December.
  • Construction of the power substation is 52% advanced and is scheduled for completion in February 2011.
  • The main haulage ramp has an advance of 1,200 meters and the cross-cut on level 1430 into the Bonanza, Trinidad and Fortuna veins has an advance of 50 meters. 
Jorge Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, “With the planned start-up of operations at San Jose ten months away, Fortuna is on a clear path to organically grow its consolidated annual silver production from the current 2 million ounces to 7 million silver equivalent ounces within twenty four months from start-up; at a cash cost below US$ 6 per ounce.  Concurrent with construction activities, our exploration crews are advancing the exploration programs in the surrounding mineral concessions.  Management is enthusiastic about the potential to increase silver and gold resources in this large and under explored 58,000ha land package.  Drill recommendations for the San Ignacio and Taviche targets are currently under review and drilling is expected to commence towards year-end.”
Water Sourcing
On January 1st, 2010, a 15 year renewable agreement was signed with the Municipality of Ocotlan de Morelos, located 11 km north of the project site, to upgrade and manage their local sewage treatment plant in exchange for use of its residual water, source of 20% of the make-up water for the 1,500 tpd processing plant.  The refurbished plant is now operational.  Balance of the make-up water will be sourced from rain fall captured in a water reservoir.
Construction of an 8” high density polyethylene pipeline to carry the water from the sewage plant to the project site is 84% advanced and scheduled to be completed in November 2010.  
Tailings Dam
Construction of the tailings dam is 40% advanced and scheduled to be completed in December.  Heavy rains during August and September have resulted in a two week delay in ground preparation.  Provisions have been taken to recover lost time throughout the remainder of the construction.
Power Substation
On April 28th, 2009, the Mexican Federal Energy Commission granted authorization to connect the project to the national power grid.  Construction of the transformer and switching stations are 46% and 57% advanced respectively and scheduled to conclude in February 2011.

Jorge Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, “Fortuna is on track to deliver 1.9 million ounces of silver at a negative cash cost of US$ 7 per Ag ounce, net of by product credits, for 2010. In spite of a net loss of US$ 2.54 million attributable to the mark-to-market effect of our derivative contracts and a foreign exchange loss, Fortuna generated strong operating cash flow of US$ 5.07 million. With the commissioning of the San Jose silver-gold Mine on schedule for the third quarter of 2011, the Company projects to take annual silver production to a rate of 4.6 million silver equivalent ounces by 2012 and 7 million silver equivalent ounces by 2013, at a projected cash cost below US$ 6 per ounce.”
 
Financial Results
 
During the third quarter of 2010 the Company generated a net loss of US$ 2.54 million (Q3 2009: net loss US$ 0.56 million) on operating income of US$ 4.68 million (Q3 2009: income US$ 4.39 million). In spite of a healthy operating margin, results were negatively impacted by a commodity contract loss of US$ 3.18 million (Q3 2009: loss US$ 3.47 million) and foreign exchange loss of US$ 1.79 million (Q3 2009: loss US$ 0.31 million). The net loss also included deferred share unit grants and bonus accruals of US$ 2.15 million (Q3 2009: nil) under selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Adjusting for the mark-to-market effect on the commodity contracts and a foreign exchange loss on the repatriation of funds from the Company’s Peruvian subsidiary (included in the US$ 1.79 million foreign exchange loss recorded for the quarter), third quarter adjusted net income (a non GAAP measure) totalled US$ 0.82 million (Q3 2009: US$ 0.56 million).
 
Operating Results
 
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company achieved silver production of 474,489 (Q3 2009: 417,571) ounces with a negative cash cost per ounce of payable silver of US$ 4.97, net of by-product credits.  The mine treated 112,886 tonnes of ore in the third quarter 2010, compared to 105,241 tonnes in the prior year.  The cash cost per tonne was US$ 54.29 in the third quarter 2010.
 
The 14% increase in silver production over the corresponding period of 2009 is attributable to an increase in throughput of 7%, an increase in silver recoveries of 0.5% and a 5% increase in silver head grade.
 
San Jose Project
 
Construction activities are on schedule and within budget for completion and commissioning of the mine in the third quarter of 2011.  The operation is scheduled to start at a rate of 1,000 tpd, with 2012 production forecast totaling 1.7 million ounces of silver and 14,700 ounces of gold or 2.6 million Ag Eq ounces.  These targets would raise Fortuna´s 2012 consolidated silver equivalent production to 4.6 million ounces.  Once in operation, at design capacity of 1,500 tpd, the San Jose Mine will produce 5 million Ag Eq ounces annually at a cash cost of US$ 6.20 per ounce (see Fortuna’s news release dated April 26, 2010).  At that point, Fortuna’s consolidated annual silver equivalent production will reach 7 million Ag Eq ounces plus base metal credits from the Caylloma Mine. Management plans to achieve full production capacity at San Jose within 24 months from start-up.  The San Jose Project Technical Report is available on the Company’s website at www.fortunasilver.com.
 
As of October 20, 2010, earthmoving and site preparation for the processing plant was 84% advanced. Cement and foundations work started in late October.  Purchase orders have been placed for all major equipment and the ball mill arrived on site in September.  Upgrading of the water treatment plant, source of 20% of make-up water for the operation, is 100% complete.  The 15 kilometer water pipeline installation to the mine site is 84% advanced, while tailings dam construction is 51% advanced and scheduled for completion in December of 2010.  Construction of the 5MW electric power substation is 53% complete. Underground development continues on the main haulage ramp and the cross-cut on level 1430 into the Bonanza, Trinidad and Fortuna veins has advanced 50 meters.  Assays results for the veins are still pending.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company generated net income of US$ 12.96 million (2009: US$ 0.62 million) on operating income of US$ 30.11 million (2009: US$ 14.38 million). Record results were driven by an increase in ounces of silver sold as well as higher silver and base metal prices.
 
Operating Results
 
The increase in sales is primarily attributable to higher silver prices (38%) and greater sales volume (15%). Zinc and lead metal sold were below last year (7% and 11% respectively) with zinc and lead prices above last year (31% and 25% respectively). Average realized prices for silver, lead, and zinc were US$ 19.05/oz, US$ 0.80/lb and US$ 0.60/lb respectively.
 
During 2010, the Company produced 1,906,423 ounces of silver (2009: 1,682,546 ounces) with a cash cost per ounce of payable silver of negative US$7.73 which includes by-product credits.  The Caylloma Mine treated 434,656 tonnes of ore in 2010, compared to 395,560 tonnes in the prior year.  The cash cost per tonne was US$ 51.20 (2009: US$ 46.27) for 2010.  The 13% increase in silver production over 2009 is attributable to an increase in throughput of 10%, an increase in silver recoveries of 0.3% and a 3% increase in silver head grade.
 
Zinc and lead production during 2010 decreased by 8% and 15%, respectively, compared to 2009. This decrease was related to a shift in the mine plan designed to replace the polymetallic ore from the Animas vein with higher grade silver ore from level 6 in the upper part of Animas vein. The mine plan shift was made because of lower than expected grades from the Bateas silver vein which lead to an acceleration of the incorporation of level 6 into the production plan.
 
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 2010 when compared to 2009 by US$ 5.23 million due to the growth of the Company, legal fees related to the credit facility, development of corporate projects and bonus payments.
 
Net income includes commodity contracts gain of US$ 0.74 million (2009: loss US$ 7.36 million), foreign exchange loss of US$ 2.70 million (2009: US$ 0.65 million), and stock-based compensation recovery of US$ 0.42 million (2009: expense US$ 2.71 million).
 
San Jose Mine Construction
 
The Company anticipates that its San Jose project, currently under construction in Mexico, will begin to contribute both silver and gold ounces starting in the third quarter of 2011, allowing the Company to maintain its organic silver production growth in 2011. 

Construction activities to date are on budget and commissioning of the mine is scheduled for the third quarter of 2011. 

Construction Highlights as of March 14, 2011:

    • Processing plant construction is 33% complete. Foundation work for crushers, milling, flotation, thickening and filtering areas is complete. Mounting and installation of major plant equipment was initiated in January 2011. The 13' x 19.5' ball mill has been mounted where the milling section is 42% advanced. The three stage crushing circuit is being mounted and installed with a 66% advance.  Flotation cells have arrived on site and thickeners are being mounted and installed.
    • Tailings dam construction was concluded in January 2011.
    • The 8MW power substation construction and commissioning has been concluded; connection to the national grid is expected in March 2011.
    • The mine access ramp has reached the 1,400 meter elevation, where the first production level is being developed.
    • Three stopes are being developed and prepared for the start of production in the third quarter at the initial rate of 1,000 tpd; stope K is being developed on the Trinidad, Fortuna and Bonanza veins on sub-level 1430. Stopes L and M are being developed on level 1400.  Overall advance on stope preparation is 115% against the program.
    • To December 31, 2010, the mine had built an ore stock pile of 6,816 tonnes grading 234 g/t Ag and 2.13 g/t Au. The Company anticipates having an inventory of approximately 30,000 tonnes before the start of commercial operations in the third quarter of 2011.
    • Water pipeline installation to the mine site is 87% completed.

Fortuna Silver Reports Increase in Reserves and Resources


April 12, 2011: Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI / Lima Stock Exchange: FVI) is pleased to announce updated mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for the Caylloma Mine located in southern Peru and for the San Jose Project located in southern Mexico.  

 

Highlights of Combined Reserve and Resource Update

 

    • Proven + Probable Reserves increased by 4.8% in terms of tonnes and 3.7% in contained silver, after replacement of 675,000 tonnes consumed through production at Caylloma. Contained gold decreased by 5.1%.
       
    • Measured + Indicated Resources increased by 750% in terms of tonnes and 1790% and 1550% with respect to contained silver and gold.
       
    • Inferred Resources increased by 47% in terms of tonnes and 17% and 14% with respect to contained silver and gold.
       
    • Proven + Probable Reserves total 7.9M tonnes containing 45.1M oz silver and 238.9k oz gold.
       
    • Measured + Indicated Resources total 2.3M tonnes containing 10.4M oz silver and 44.6k oz gold.
       
    • Inferred Resources total 6.4M tonnes containing 34.7M oz silver and 215.9k oz gold. 

 

“Both the Caylloma Mine in Peru and the San Jose Project in Mexico offer excellent potential for additions to our current reserve and resource base and we are pursuing a number of targets which if successful, could have material impact on the two properties” commented Dr. Thomas Vehrs, Vice President for Exploration for Fortuna Silver. “In 2009 and 2010, we have been successful in replacing reserves consumed through production at Caylloma and believe that with our improving understanding of ore controls in the district, we should be able to continue to add to the resource and reserve base. At San Jose, now that construction is well advanced, we are focusing our exploration efforts on testing the southern extension of the San Jose system as well as vein targets in the San Jeronimo Taviche area and prominent geochemical anomalies associated with silica-replaced carbonates in the El Rancho area.”

Caylloma Mine

 

Through exploration and development activities, reserves consumed through production at Caylloma were replaced and Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves increased by 3% in terms of tonnes and 2% in terms of contained silver ounces relative to the Mineral Reserves previously reported as of Dec. 31, 2008. Contained gold ounces decreased by 34% but are not of material significance to the Caylloma operation. As of June 30, 2010, the Caylloma Mine had Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves containing 20.6M oz of silver, in addition to Measured and Indicated Resources containing 7.4M oz of silver and Inferred Resources containing a further 12.8M oz of silver. Variations from previously announced reserves and resources are the result of exploration drilling results, advances in mine development, differences in resource and reserve classification methodology and changes in metal prices. Inferred Resources increased by 161% in terms of tonnes and 66% in terms of contained silver, providing support for potential future reserve increases. An aggressive exploration program is in-progress at Caylloma testing for lateral and depth extensions of known veins.

 

San Jose Project

 

Construction at the San Jose Project was initiated in mid-2010 and is currently on schedule with production projected for commencement in the 3rd quarter of 2011. Development of the underground mine is proceeding and improvements to the Pre-feasibility mine plan have resulted in an increase of 7.3% in the Mineral Reserve tonnes and increases of 5.7% and 5.9% in the contained silver and gold ounces, respectively. Further increases in the Mineral Reserves are expected in the future as mine development is extended below the level of the historic workings and existing Inferred Resources are upgraded to Measured and Indicated Resource classifications through in-fill drilling and direct development of the deeper portions of the mineral deposit. The San Jose mineralized structure remains open to the south and exploration drilling is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2011 to follow-up on mineralized intercepts encountered in past drilling campaigns. Additional drilling is also planned on other targets identified on the Company’s extensive property position in the San Jose area.

  Fortuna Silver Continues to Extend High-Grade Ag Ore Shoots at Caylloma Mine
  



April 14, 2011:
Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI / Lima Stock Exchange: FVI) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the discovery of two high-grade silver ore shoots in the Bateas Vein, located in the central portion of the Caylloma Mine District.  Preliminary results were previously announced in a news release dated December 15, 2010.

 

 
Highlights of underground channel sampling:
  • Gallery 309E: 160m interval averaging 1,225 g/t Ag, 0.06 g/t Au, 0.89% Pb, 1.23% Zn and 0.60% Cu over average vein width of 0.86m
     
  • Gallery 315E: 57m interval averaging 1,336 g/t Ag, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.30% Pb, 0.44% Zn and 0.38% Cu over average vein width of 0.91m
     
  • Chimney 308N: 122m interval averaging 876 g/t Ag, 0.06 g/t Au, 0.37% Pb, 0.51% Zn and 0.35% Cu over average vein width of 0.82m
     
  • Chimney 310N: 46m interval averaging 768 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t Au, 0.64% Pb, 0.98% Zn and 0.50% Cu over average vein width of 0.64m
“The discovery of the high-grade silver ore shoots in the Bateas Vein is a strong validation of the continued exploration potential in this historic district,” commented Dr. Thomas Vehrs, Vice President of Exploration. “The district has been in semi-continuous production since the arrival of the Spaniards in the early 16th century and the potential for new discovery is still outstanding.  We are currently exploring the lateral and depth extensions of the Bateas, San Cristobal, Animas and La Plata veins with a Caylloma Brownfields exploration budget totaling in excess of US$6.5M for 2011.”
Longitudinal sections of the Bateas Vein illustrating the sample results and the newly discovered ore shoots are available on the Company’s website at  http://www.fortunasilver.com/i/pdf/NR_Bateas-Vein-Long-Section_8apr2011.pdf.
Underground development is in-progress at the Bateas vein with the aim of incorporating the new ore shoots into the production plans for 2011. The new high-grade silver ore shoots were discovered through the extension of exploration and development drifts from current production areas on the 10th and 12th levels of the Bateas Vein.  The exploration drifts have now cross-cut the strike width of the ore shoots and are being advanced to the northeast to explore for additional high-grade ore shoots.  Vertical chimneys 308N and 310N have been completed between level 12 (4500m elevation) and level 10 (4620m elevation) confirming the vertical continuity of the high-grade shoots.  Within the ore shoots, the vein ranges up to 2m in width with silver mineralization being present as tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, proustite and other Ag-bearing sulfosalts in a banded rhodonite-rhodochrosite-quartz vein matrix.  Minor sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite are also present in the vein.
The Caylloma Mine currently produces approximately 1,250 tpd with the production primarily being sourced from the Ag-bearing polymetallic Animas, Soledad, Santa Catalina and Silvia veins supplemented by high-grade silver ores from the Bateas Vein and the upper levels of the Animas Vein.  In 2010, the Caylloma Mine produced 1.9M oz of silver in addition to appreciable quantities of lead, zinc and copper.  Production for 2011 is forecast at the same level (see Fortuna news release dated Jan. 13, 2011).
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Sample results reported for the underground workings are based on channel samples systematically collected perpendicular to the orientation of the vein. Samples are dried, prepared and analyzed at company-owned sample preparation and laboratory facilities at the Caylloma property. Silver and base metals are assayed by atomic absorption methods utilizing an aqua regia digestion. Gold is assayed by standard fire assay methods with an atomic absorption finish. Certified reference standards are blindly inserted into the sample stream at a frequency of 1 per 20 normal samples. Assay blanks are blindly inserted at a frequency of 1 per 30 samples and field duplicates are collected and analyzed at a frequency of 1 per 80 normal samples. Check assay samples and preparation duplicate samples are routinely submitted to ALS Chemex facilities in Lima to verify sample preparation and assay quality.

Die tatsächlichen Resultate bleiben hinter den eigenen Ansprüchen zurück:

„First Quarter Highlights:

- Silver production of 437,123 ounces; 8.9% decrease over Q1 2010
- Lead production of 5,045,582 pounds; 14.8% decrease over Q1 2010
- Zinc production of 5,744,798 pounds; 16.4% decrease over Q1 2010
- Cash cost per silver ounce, net of by-product credits, estimate of negative US$4.52“

Die Begründung steht hier:

http://www.fortunasilver.com/s/...37123-ounces-for-First-Quarter-2011

Für 2011 ist in Caylloma die Förderung von  1,900,000 oz Silber geplant, was ca. 475000 oz/ Quartal entspricht. Im ersten Quartal hat Fortuna somit 92% erreicht. Glück auf für die nächsten Quartale.

Viel interessanter sind die Stichwahl am 5. Juni 2011 und die damit verbunden Auswirkungen auf ausländische Firmen. Zwar droht keine Verstaatlichung, aber eine Zusatzabgabe ist durchaus vorstellbar, wenn Humala gewinnt....

„Von einem Präsidenten Humala befürchten sie dagegen, dass er “die Grenzen schließen, die ausländischen Firmen aus Peru rauswerfen und nur noch heimische Marken erlauben will”. Dies läßt auf ein etwas einseitig merkantiles Verständnis von Demokratie bei der jungen Generation der Peruaner schließen, für die Freiheit offenbar zuallererst ungehinderter Konsum bedeutet. Dieser wäre jedenfalls bei einer Präsidentin Keiko Fujimori weiterhin garantiert, da sie die einst vom IWF verlangte und von ihrem Vater durchgesetzte neoliberale Wirtschaftpolitik der offenen Tür sicherlich fortsetzen wird.“......

443 Postings, 5631 Tage GT-EinsTHX Corbin, wobei...

... ich glaube das die allgemeine Korrektur bezüglich Silber hier auch eine Rolle spielen dürfte. Ist ja nicht der einzige auf Silber basierende Wert der fällt. Experten gehen davon aus das die noch einige Tage anhalten könnte.

www.ariva.de/news/Silberpreis-tendiert-fester-Erste-Bank-3747108

Umgelegt auf den Kurs von Fortuna dürfte ein Widerstand von 38,5€ 3,85 entsprechen (mit 1:10 easy umzurechnen) Die in dem Artikel erwähnte Bodenzone würde bei allem was  tiefer als 3 Euro liegt Einstiegskurse andeuten. 

Ich bleibe jedenfalls dabei, sowohl real als auch im Börsenspiel, und kauf ggf. nach.

40 Postings, 5511 Tage corbinMoin,

offen gestanden habe ich nur rudimentär Ahnung von Bergbau. Ich habe Fortuna als Optionsschein ohne Zeitwertverlust gesehen. Als Silber im März/April jedoch extrem gepusht wurde, bin ich raus. Dennoch glaube ich, dass der Silberpreis weiter steigen wird. Und jetzt warte ich auf einen neuen Einstieg. Mein Kriterium war und ist die Politik des Landes. Humala vs. Fujimori. Welche Bedeutung die Wahlen und ausländische Bergbauunternehmen haben, soll folgender Abschnitt nochmals verdeutlichen:

„Lima (IRIB) - In Peru haben die Bürger gegen die Politik der Regierung demonstriert. Laut Reuters richteten sich die Proteste gegen den Entschluss der Regierung zwei ausländische Firmen an Minenarbeiten zu beteiligen. Die Demonstranten meinen, dass die Arbeiten dieser Firmen zur Verschmutzung der Umwelt beitragen und die Wälder vernichten. Es wurden Regierungsgebäude angegriffen und mehrere Polizeifahrzeuge in Brand gesteckt.....“

Bis zum Wiedereinstieg bleibt noch Zeit.
Schönes WE!
