Utkal's Alumina/Bauxite should last a millenia if not more.
Good sense prevailed and the Canadians saw sense.They said No to cheating!

[WaterWatch] Fw: [alcant-intl] ALCAN TO SELL 45% STAKE IN KASHIPUR
PROJECT!!!!!!!!!
Dear Friends,
Hello!
There is a good news to share with you all.
I am forwarding a mail from Alcant, the Canadian Advocacy group that Alcan has
withdrawn from Utkal Alumina International Limited (UAIL) which is vigorously
involved at Kashipur for Bauxite mining and alumina refinery. UAIL has also
directy and indirectly played a role in Maikanch Police Firing in December,
2000.
Please inform all our friends who have supported the anti-mining struggle at
Kashipur.
With best wishes,
Achyut

Subject: [alcant-intl] ALCAN TO SELL 45% STAKE IN KASHIPUR PROJECT!!!!!!!!!
Yes the subject heading you read is correct. Today Apri 12th 2007 Alcan
announced that it would sell its entire 45% stake in Utkal Alumina
International Limited. This result is truly a testament to the amazing
grassroots work that you have all put in over the past several years. Every
rally you attended, every letter that you wrote, every person you spoke to
about Alcan’s hypocrisy has helped make this happen.You spoke truth to power
and truth prevailedIt would impossible to list all of the groups or individuals
that should be recognized but I would like to acknowledge a few of the groups
across Canada who helped make this happen: RRSE, CAW, Miningwatch Canada,
Amnesty International, QPIRG, CKUT, Kairos and many more.Most importantly it is
only due to the strength, the resolve and the sacrifice of our brothers and
sisters in India, the Kashipur people’s movement or the PSSP that anything has
been accomplished. And for them the struggle continues as UAIL will move
forward as will our solidarity.Our work is not over. 1) While Alcan has
withdrawn its shares, according to its press release, it will still provide
Alcan technology to UAIL and profit off of the destruction of the Kashipur
region. If as TD Newcrest analyst Greg Barnes says the Utkal project “does not
fit with Alcan's approach to sustainability,” Alcan should not be involved with
it in any way.2) Several people’s lives have been ruined through jailings,
beatings, displacement, and even death due to Alcan’s involvement. Alcan must
compensate these people for their losses.3) We must support the people of
Kashipur in their continued struggle against UAIL and whatever companies may
join India’s Hindalco in this conglomerate.There is much work to be done we
will follow up to discuss what our next moves will be but for a moment
acknowledge what you have achieved.Alcan’s Press
