An investigation from Canada's human rights ombudsman has found a Vancouver-based mining company contributed to the use of forced labour in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
Those partners included Xinjiang Non-Ferrous Metal and Western Region Gold. But the ombudsperson also cited Dynasty for holding a majority share in Terraxin Mineral Exploration Co. Ltd. — a Sino-foreign joint venture that moved to identify and develop gold mines in Xinjiang. Dynasty says report 'full of errors and inaccuracies' A spokesperson from Dynasty Gold said the report was “full of errors and inaccuracies,” that Dynasty conducted exploration operations at Hatu mine between 2004 and 2008 when there was “no report of forced labour,” and wrote off its investments in Xinjiang in 2010.
“Have no idea how they came up with it. Dynasty has no operation in China since 2008,” Chong added. “We hope other Ministries will review this report and find some senses .” In a rebuttal, the Chinese government denied the claims, stating “the accusation that its policy is ‘based on discrimination’ is groundless.”
“Dynasty has demonstrated a lack of participation in the complaint process to date,” the report said.
