Las Palmas refinery in Segovia is a refinery that uses both older and more modern technology for refining ore into gold. In the old method, ore is crushed by putting small amounts of rock into metal barrels along with steel balls. These barrels rotate on an axis (making a terrible noise). The outcome is a sandy sludge that is then panned using mercury to separate the gold. The newer technology does not use mercury. Las Palams' final product is small gold ingots. The Canadian mining company Gran Colombia Gold has filed a 700 million USD lawsuit against the government of Colombia for failing to evict traditional miners from sites that the company has acquired. Colombia and Canada signed a Free Trade Agreement that is holds the framework for the lawsuit. The towns of Marmato and Segovia have been dedicated to mining for generations, but their methods are antiquated and risky by modern standards. The small-scale traditional miners are also easy prey for criminal and paramilitary groups and the government had hoped to modernize and formalize the practice with the presence of Gran Colombia Gold. The miners and their representatives have fought back with multiple legal strategies and have frustrated the company's advances.
