Griffin Mining Ltd (AIM Market: Symbol "GFM")
Ivernia Inc (TSX: Symbol "IVW")

Dear friends, 
We need your support! In a clear act of censorship, the Ecuadorian government has closed down the NGO Accion Ecológica. We believe that the only reason for taking this decision is Acción Ecológica’s position against mining which is apparently supported by the government.
 
We request you to send a letter to President Correa (see sample letter below) to the following addresses, Or use the (spanish) form on the website of Acción Ecológica to send the letter automatically.
