Client News
Represented by GST LLP, Guatemala has lodged a counterclaim in a US$350 million DR-CAFTA dispute with third-party funded mining investors, seeking damages for alleged misrepresentation and a failure to meet environmental commitments. The state alleges that when obtaining their license, Kappes and KCA (the investors that hold licenses for the gold and silver mining projects) “omitted key information” in their environmental impact assessment (EIA), which did not meet international standards and failed to show the effect the projects would have on local water resources.
