 Battle of Cajamarca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The Battle of Cajamarca was a surprise attack on the Inca royal entourage orchestrated by Francisco Pizarro.
The confrontation at Cajamarca was the culmination of a months-long contest of espionage, subterfuge, and diplomacy conducted by Pizarro and the Inca via their respective envoys.
Encamped along the heights of Cajamarca with legions of battle-tested troops fresh from their victories in the civil war against his half-brother Huascar, the Inca had little to fear from Pizarro's minute army, however extravagant its dress and weaponry.

 No Dirty Gold
The sheer scale of the Yanacocha gold mine in Cajamarca, Peru, is staggering.
When Newmont proposed expanding Yanacocha to Cerro Quilish, a mountain four miles from the mine that holds 3.7 million ounces of gold, community members were concerned because Cerro Quilish sits atop the watershed supplying an entire valley of farmers and the city of Cajamarca.
In a statement printed in Peruvian newspapers, Newmont admitted that it had not always listened to the valid claims and concerns expressed by the Cajamarca community in the past.

 Lori Berenson: The Cajamarca Protest
The exploration of Cerro Quilish, especially when taking into account Newmont's record worldwide in causing terrible health problems to the populations near their mines, is very threatening to the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people and to the future of this part of the country.
The result has been the temporary suspension of the exploration of the Cerro Quilish and the subsequent reduction of the work by the Yanacocha Mining Company as it awaits the "tests" that would somehow prove that the company is not affecting the environment.
In itself, stopping the work at the mine, however temporarily it might be, is quite an achievement but, sadly, it seems as though the road to justice is quite a long one and this struggle will go on for the long haul.
