Ron Paul investments at OpenSecrets.org:

“In 2009 Paul’s net worth is approximately $5,064,000. He ranks 77th richest in the US Congress.  The three mining corporations in which Ron Paul is most heavily invested, Barrick Gold, Anglogold Ashanti Ltd
and Newmont Mining, [Lila: all bankster related companies] are incidentally among those that have reportedly done the most harm to workers and the environment of the world.  They number as perhaps the worst among the worst.

Agnico-Eagle Mines $100,001 to $250,000

Anglogold Ashanti Ltd $250,001 to $500,000
According to Forbes AngloGold Ashanti was accused in 2007 in Colombia for “murders of trade union and community leaders who opposed the company’s activities in the region”. The company disclosed itself in 2006 or in 2007 unacceptable safety performance in its platinum mines. Safety measures were taken.[10]
In January 2011, AngloGold Ashanti was named the world’s “Most Irresponsible Company” at the Public Eye Awards, hosted by the Berne Declaration and Greenpeace in Davos, Switzerland. The nominating organisation, WACAM (Wassa Association of Communities Affected by Mining), catalogued the company’s history of “gross human rights violations and environmental problems.”

Apollo Gold Corp $1,001 to $15,000

Barrick Gold $100,001 to $250,000
In April and May 2008, indigenous leaders from four countries opposing large-scale gold mining on their lands described the adverse impacts of Barrick Gold Corporation. These leaders spoke of Barrick Gold’s tactics in “suppressing dissident voices, dividing communities, and manipulating local and national politics”. They also related stories about “lack of free, prior and informed consent for local people”.

Coeur D’Alene Mines $1,001 to $15,000
El Dorado Gold $50,001 to $100,000
Goldcorp Inc $500,001 to $1,000,000
Metalline Mining $1,001 to $15,000

Newmont Mining $250,001 to $500,000
Newmont Mining  (NEM.N) halted work at its giant Yanacocha gold mine on Monday after protesters blocked an access road and torched eight pieces of earth-moving equipment, prompting the company to ask Peru’s government to intervene. The mine, partly owned by Peruvian precious metals miner Buenaventura BVN1.N, said the drastic measure to suspend work was taken to ensure the safety of its employees.The latest flare-up could test leftist President Ollanta Humala, who took office in July promising to calm conflicts between rural communities and companies. The conflicts have threatened to delay some 200 mining and oil projects nationwide.

In August 2004, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment filed a US $133.6 million civil lawsuit against Newmont, claiming the company’s Minahasa Raya mine contaminated local fish stocks, causing serious illness and death for nearby villagers. Indonesia is a G-20 nation and the fourth most populous nation in the world at 230 million people. It is comprised of over 17,000 islands”
