Clever use of the word 'swamped' there Niels,

What are you trying to imply?

And 'dross' = Dross is a mass of solid impurities floating on a molten metal.
Is that a reference to the debris that poured down the mine in the flood and will contaminate the ore?

Do you create crosswords in your spare time?

This is sad. I thought most on the bb had left school a long time ago. I'm going to give this bb a miss for a while as the worthwhile posts are swamped by the general dross.

Cheers,
Niels

FIJI MINE DISPUTE CALLED THREAT TO NATION'S ECONOMY
Government moves to resolve 'misunderstanding' at Vatukoula mine

By Maciu Malo
The Fiji government is concerned about a dispute at the
Vatukoula Gold Mines, saying it has resulted in a reduction in gold production. While the company
posted a FJ$14.7 million [US$8.3 million] profit on the London Stock Exchange yesterday (Fiji
time), Commissioner Western Commander Joeli Cawaki said Government intervention was
required because the issue had the potential to escalate and impact negatively on the economic well-being of the country. "This is a national issue because a low gold production will have ripple effects
on the workers, the community and the country," he said. He said the dispute was between the
owners of the company and the outgoing chief executive officer, Bert Leathley. "I can't really
comment on the exact figures of gold reduction but I can confirm that there has been some
misunderstanding between the company's owner and the CEO," said Mr Cawaki. "I have been
reliably informed of the misunderstanding between the two parties and this is a national issue."
He said he would meet with the two parties this week to try and sort out the differences.

Mr Cawaki said a serious concern also surfaced - that many miners were not qualified for the jobs.
"I have also been informed by some company officials that some workers are not fit to be working
in the mine. We need to identify these workers and see what improvement can be made. We need
experienced people to work in the mine because gold production has decreased." Meanwhile, Mr
Cawaki said work was slowly progressing on the relocation of the 200 miners' families who have
been told to vacate the premises by the end of the year. He said many families agreed to go back to
their villages while the others were waiting for the Government to provide land for resettlement.
"A Government team is in charge of this operation and we are happy with the outcome of our
surveys," he said. "The Government and the Vatukoula Gold Mine have agreed to cater for the
relocation exercise which is estimated at more than $6m." Questions sent to VGM remained
unanswered when this edition went to press last night.

gold mine town of Vatukoula flood
Health deploy teams

Eighteen more health teams will be deployed to the Western Division to boost manpower in flood-hit areas.
Ministry of Health spokesperson Peni Namotu said the teams would help provide timely interventions where needed.
He said they would be based in the six subdivisions from Sigatoka to Rakiraki with each division having three teams focusing on sanitation, water and food condemnation and diseases investigation.

"The team will be there for three weeks and will also provide vital information to their headquarters in Suva before any assistance is provided," Mr Namotu said.
Mr Namotu said the team would also be looking into the environmental aspects to see that proper sanitation conditions are considered.
All three teams would play an important role in helping health officers that are on the ground.

"This will beef up medical support in flood affected areas in Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, gold mine town of Vatukoula, and Rakiraki," he said.
