Ottawa's corporate-ethics watchdog says a Vancouver-based mining company has allowed forced labour at its gold mine in the Xinjiang region of China, even though the firm lost control of the project before the alleged slavery took place.

Ottawa's corporate-ethics watchdog says a Vancouver-based mining company has allowed forced labour at its gold mine in the Xinjiang region of China, even though the firm lost control of the project before the alleged slavery took place.

The company, which buys mines and contracts out work like exploration and extraction, says it has never received those services. A report that same year by Global Affairs Canada found China "is using otherwise legitimate programs for retraining and relocation of unemployed workers as instruments of a broader campaign of oppression, exploitation and indoctrination of the Uyghur Muslim population into Han Chinese culture."She found that Dynasty’s mine near Kazakhstan sourced labour through Chinese state-run corporations, including one that was later sanctioned by Canada.

She said Dynasty had not been co-operative in the investigation, and even a company that only has a handful of staff still needs to uphold Canadian corporate standards. "I do not know what is their objective by doing that. I have no idea. We don't have any avenue to defend ourselves. We're a small company," she said.

It also says Dynasty hasn't published any information about efforts to detect and remediate human-rights abuses, and did not "try to prevent or mitigate risks and impacts by using its leverage to bring the issue up with its business relationships."
