Akara Resources Plc's gold mine in Phichit province may be closed longer after the company's appeal against the government's suspension order was turned down.
The government has asked the company to provide more information and plans to hold a week-long public hearing for villagers living near the mine, signaling that the mining operation might face further suspension.
"But Akara reiterated that the toxic metals found in the blood tests were caused not by the mining operation but by the villagers' use of insecticides on their own farmland"
