marched here April 28 outside
Noranda Mines offices in the heart
of Toronto’s business district to
protest Noranda’s plans to endorse

a $350-million investment in Chile’s

Andacollo copper mine.

The noon-hour march at the foot
of the giant Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce tower took
place on the very day Noranda’s
shareholders were to have en-
dorsed the Andacollo deal.

According to materials circu-
lated by the march organizers,
“Noranda, the same company
which is laying off Canadian work-
ers and receiving millions of
dollars in tax breaks from the fed-
eral government, will place
Canada in the forefront of invest-
ors in the most infamous regime in
Latin America. Noranda’s
profits,’ says a press statement,
“are made at the cost of Chile’s,
freedom.”

In an accompanying fact sheet
the organizers point out that, two
years following the 1973 coup which
reversed the unanimous agree-
ment of the previous government
to nationalize Chilean copper, Nor-

anda stated its intent to develop the.

northern Chile.

In 1975-76 Noranda lays off 2,400
workers in Canada.

In 1977 Canada tops the list of
countries investing in Chile
(Canada: $605,183,000. and U.S.A.
$425,177,000) Noranda’s_ sub-
sidiary, Placer Development,
considers investing $200-million in
molybdenum mining in Chile;
Chile-Canadian Mines (owned by
Noranda) lays off its 100 workers;
Noranda lays off 500 workers, con-
templates laying off 550 in Valley-
field, Quebec and another 500 in
Gaspe.

In July, 1977 a formal contract is
signed giving Noranda rights to
proceed with exploration and de-
velopment of Andacollo. The
company gets 51 percent owner-
ship and agrees to assist the
regime to raise the rest of the
funds.

In 1978 Noranda lays off 364
workers in Quebec, Ontario and
New Brunswick. In December the
company expects to begin in ex-
ploitation of Andacollo. The invest-
ment is $350-million and it will pro-
vide 900 jobs.

The demonstration is planned for

.. Sunday May 21. outside the base

and will be followed by an all night
vigil. On Monday morning, several
hundred of the demonstrators plan
to scale the fence surrounding the
base and occupy it in a non-violent
sit-in.

Linda Timberlake of the
Students for Nuclear Respon-
sibility at SFU, co-sponsors of the
action with the Pacific Life
Community and three other groups
said that organizers are hopeful of
5,000 demonstrators turning out
May 21 and about 500 of them
staying on to occupy the base the
following morning.

“Through our actions we hope to
present a clear statement of
support for nuclear disarmament
to the UN Special Session,’’
Timberlake said.
