After seven years, Goldquest is still waiting for approvals for its mine, a target of protests led by Dominican Senator Felix Bautista.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.For its Romero project in the Central Cordillera geological region, Goldquest developed a plan that seemed to anticipate at least some of the environmental fears.

Lastly, it would be underground, not the type of open pit mine that can scar a landscape and feed opposition.“The design was a good design, it was the right one,” insists engineer Robert Crowley, who was Goldquest’s social and corporate responsibility lead but now heads the RWC Technologies consulting company. “They made a decision to make less money for a better environment.”

The previous holder of the top post, Danilo Medina, refused to make a decision before the 2020 election, despite entreaties from Canadian, U.S. and Swiss ambassadors, representing investors from each country, says Fisher. Goldquest and its supporters are skeptical of Bautista’s motives around their protest. Crowley, who has lived in the Dominican Republic for 40 years, believes he and other local politicians see the proposed mine as a hot-button issue they can exploit to win votes, vowing to fight off the “big, bad” Canadians.
