We now face a major threat to Buckingham and the entire state of Virginia. A Canadian exploration company found gold in Buckingham. Here’s what that could mean for this community:

• An open-pit mine hundreds of acres wide and hundreds of feet deep, pulling water from our well sources
• Massive cyanide waste lagoons
• Contaminated drinking water, streams, rivers, and lakes
• Taxpayers left paying millions for an unsalvageable toxic waste site.

We have a fundamental right to clean water, air, and land. A gold mine would violate those rights.
