Re-emphasising that it is opposed to Wayne Vieira mining in its community, the Chinese Landing Village Council (CLVC) says that it wishes to “correct factual errors” which recently appeared in the press.
The Council in a statement on Monday referenced an August 17th news article which it said inaccurately reported it saying that it was not opposed to mining by Vieira, but only wanted the outside miners on his concession to leave.
The Council said the reason given in the news article for the removal of the outside miners, was that they were the ones armed with high-powered guns and posing a threat to the Council.
