A coalition of groups raising money in its fight against the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen has decided it will not keep the $5,000 donation recently made by KGHM.
A meeting of the representatives of the advocacy groups was held on Sunday.
At the meeting, it was decided unanimously to return the money to KGHM.
“Our goal in responding to this situation was to act in a manner consistent with our principles,” stated coalition representative Dianne Kerr.
“Ethical guidelines regarding the acceptance of gifts support our decision. We used the Suzuki Foundation as our resource. It is an obvious conflict of interest for the coalition of advocacy groups to accept funds directly from the very proponent to be scrutinized by independent reviewers.”
