Gold in Puerto Rico!!
“It would be a shame to pit the irreplacable beauty of El Yunque, against the needs of the US economy.
This is yet another reason, for clearing up the relationship between the US and Puerto Rico … once and for all.”
A US Geological Survey (USGS) has reported substantial gold deposits in Puerto Rico. They are concentrated in two municipalities, ten rivers, and the Sierra Luquillo sector.
The Sierra Luquillo deposits cover a staggering area. Acording to the USGS report, they extend for ten kilometers, and run all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
The report is 337 pages long, completed jointly by the USGS and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Its file name is “Open-File Report 98-38” and its title is Mineral Resource Assessment for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico .
