Subject: Aura Minerals' destruction of 200-year-old Maya Chortí cemetery
Dear CEO Barbosa,
Please recognize that your company's latest disregard of the rights of the people of Honduras - the destruction of the Maya Chorti cemetery, including working through an entire night removing bones and skeletons from this sacred space - and your flagrant disregard for the descendents of those who were interred there, goes against all human decency. You also are inflicting irreparable wounds on the earth itself.
When I looked at a video about Aura's success and heard your words about it, I could not believe that you could be aware of the misery Aura Minerals is causing.
Is placing first on the TSX-30 (Toronto stock exchange) a true measure of who you are? Does this mean more to you than the lives of people in Honduras who are struggling to survive your company's devastation? Does the decision of Court of Appeals in Santa Rosa de Copan on February 8, 2022, re-affirming the illegality of any action by Aura Minerals and MINOSA, mean nothing to you and Aura Minerals?
Yours in the hope of justice and equality,
Gail Mott
Rochester NY

A request: It's very difficult for me to understand why this is happening to the residents (present and former) of Azacualpa. Can you please explain?
Sincerely,
