Glamis Seeks $50 Million in NAFTA Damages
Posted by: Toby McLeod

Glamis Imperial, the Canadian goldmining company, has served notice that it will seek to use NAFTA and UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law) to challenge through international arbitration a U.S. Interior Department decision that has hindered a Glamis open pit gold mining project because it would have damaged Quechan Indian Pass, a culturally sensitive site in southeast California. Glamis is also claiming that the state of California expropriated $50 million by passing environmental legislation in early 2003 requiring backfilling of open pit mines. Read the text of Glamis’s Notice of Intent to File.
