Doe Run was evicted from Peru

Peru’s mining, oil and energy association (SNMPE) said Saturday it has expelled US mining company Doe Run from its roster for not cleaning up its pollution problems, which environmentalists say are among the worst in the world.

“It has not shown… any willingness to comply with its environmental commitments and its obligations to the country, its workers, the La Oroya population and its creditors,” SNMPE said in a statement.

So we have high hopes that ORC will not behave like Doe Run? Are both companies possibly tied through the myriad offshore corporations controlling the purse strings of both companies? Would be interesting to find out.
