Cajamarca was no stranger to the spy network is to use U.S. and Wikileaks has made another revelation of documents, this time on the concerns that were top managers of mining companies including Santa Cruz who felt a meeting their discomfort with the uncertainty they were facing.

According to the cable (ID: 38881 Cable Date: 2005-08-19T18: 20:00), executives, meeting with ambassadors from the U.S. and Canada, expressed concern that none of the leaders of political parties have spoken out against violence against mining.

It also reports that Carlos Santa Cruz (Director of Minera Yanacocha) stressed that this situation was crucial to stop the impunity of those who damage private property and block roads.

“There is a law pending in Congress that would give (…) the legal framework to improve safety in mining communities. Too often, the police arrest the instigators of violence against mining, but local prosecutors would be released under pressure from the community. “

He adds, “the law expects to allow police to move a detainee to a different jurisdiction, which reduces the likelihood that losfiscales yield to local demands. The ambassadors agreed to evaluate a meeting with heads of political parties. ” Read the rest of this entry »

In this sense, were monitored by the Provincial Directorate of Mining (through the Mining Police area) in the department Antofagasta de la Sierra, Minera del Altiplano companies, Maktub SRL Mining Company, mine and project Ducks Bingo among others.

In addition, gravel quarries were inspected on public lands in the river: the Valley, and Santa Cruz Ongolí control and supervise the remediation, rational exploitation, provision of personal protective equipment and opening of the riverbeds for normal runoff thus preventing the overflow of it.

The checks are part of the Quarries Act 4362, Environmental Protection Act for mining No. 24585, Security Decree 249/07 of mining activity, the Provincial Decree No. 615/88, the Labour Act and the Mining Code .

It also reports that during the summer recess addresses personnel Mines and Mining Environmental Management, respectively, maintain a continuing surveillance to control quarrying and mining projects, as established by the regulations.

It is worth mentioning that during the first half of January Mining Police Department drew up Route 850 sheets, required for the transport of minerals.

(Emol) High energy prices, catapulted by a prolonged drought in Chile, could promote alternative energy sources that require high investment costs but offer stable, especially for the mining sector that seeks to leverage the current price boom.

Poor rains associated with the climate phenomenon La Nina has drastically reduced hydroelectric generation in the world’s largest producer of copper and have forced reliance on expensive generating plants to fuel rising inflation risks in its booming economy.

Slowly, the higher energy prices, which have nearly tripled in five years, have led to major mining companies to study the stability of the costs of wind power, solar and geothermal energy.

Tuesday’s protests included roadblocks, demonstrations and roadblocks in various parts of the country. They were opposed to open pit mining because of the danger of contamination to the ecosystem, especially the rivers.

Changes to the Mining Code provide that foreign states can exploit mines in Panama.

It imposes a payment of only 5 percent royalty on production of copper, gold and silver. The change is an increase compared to 2 percent royalty set by the previous mining code.

The protests also rejected the holding of the Cerro Colorado, known as the second global copper reserves. It is estimated that with 12 million tons of gold.

This hill is the Nobel Bugle Comerica, which is the most populous in the country.

In response to this demand, the national government of Ricardo Martin Elli promised that his administration not exploit the Cerro Colorado.

San Felix, protesters drove to the Deputy Minister of Labor, Luis Ernesto Carlos, when he came to talk.

In that sense, the chief general of the Nobel, Rogelio Moreno, denounced the presence of infiltrators who sought to create chaos. Therefore, apologized for the outbreaks of violence that occurred.

Women represent about 20% of people classified as artisanal mining producers in Peru, reported the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM).

According to official sources, there are now 2,209 “headlines qualified” as mining producers and the percentage of women tends to increase every day for your interest today awakens in them an activity once thought reserved for boys. “

Currently, the report added, are 404 artisanal mining production companies working in a formal way, but a significantly higher number works in the informal small-scale mining, “which no formalized few seriously aspire.”

These data were offered during the second training workshop for the Formalization in mining, which organized this week’s ministerial office.

At that meeting it was evident the presence of women interested in knowing the steps to obtain a mining concession, and appropriate technologies for the exploration and exploitation with social and environmental responsibility, “said the MEM. Read the rest of this entry »

“The development, foreign investment, job creation or promises of welfare for residents of the area of operation can not be grounds for risking the wealth of our moorland water,” said National Retail Federation (Latest).

GreyStar The company denied that the project affects the environment. “Like I said 20 years ago (U.S. firm) Drummond,” said the former Environment Minister Manuel Rodriguez in a public forum in Bucaramanga. Read the rest of this entry »

At first crude oil is produced with great effort. It is a very demanding on the personnel and equipment: a scorching heat under the desert sun, the harsh climate of the North Sea or the Arctic temperatures, in addition to noise, dirt, odors, constant danger of explosion due to sparks and hazards associated with the drilling of the rock. These are just some of the factors that work in plants and production platforms on land and at sea, on or under water.

The same harsh conditions also occur during the extraction of gas by pipes to reach homes, dry, clean, conditioned and processed. The result? A warm house in winter and hot water.

Xstrata Copper will require an investment of 4.230 million and is located in the Apurimac region. In both works Antapaccay project in Cusco, with an advance of 32%.

Copper production Bambas project would begin in the second half of 2014, said executive vice president of Xstrata Copper, Joseph Maroun.

“We have come with all critical permits and manage the final permits to start construction work related to operations,” said Maroun, during the Top Mining in Peru Mining Convention (Perumin).

He added that the mega project already has an advance of 40 percent in the plan to relocate 450 families from the community of New Fuerabamba, as it has begun construction of a neighborhood to be located near the town of Chalhuahuacho in Apurimac.

Meanwhile, work on the project Antapaccay in Cusco, with an advance of 32 percent and keeping the estimated investment of 1.473 million dollars.

“I was hired over 1,350 workers in the area and hope to reach a peak of 4,500 in the coming months,” adelanto.Mas details of the projects span in Peru, Chile and Argentina offer elsewhere in this magazine.

Santa Cruz said that this does not attempt to “counterbalance the authority and regulators,” but instead “seek a meeting, a commonality of interests”, since “the company is more interested in that there is no risk. We understand the concern of the regional president. We always believe that some uncertainty exists any mining project. “

Santa Cruz said the source of the confusion lies in the recommendation made in the environmental study, which was asked to perform an additional study to be used as a basis for monitoring of water in the production stage of the mine to be held on year 2014.

However, he said that the mining and accepted this recommendation and is conducting a supplementary study should be completed in March 2012. “We will meet and indeed, we think this is appropriate,” he said. He said that the trouble comes from the expectations of some communities that are not part of the zone of influence. “Obviously they want to be part of the benefit, but even we clarify that the investment made.”

Santa Cruz added that unlike the south, in Cajamarca is a positive water balance. That is, there is more rain than evaporation, so the 1.3 million cubic meters of water used Minas Conga not generate greater impact.”

Despite this stated that “these bodies of water” will be replaced by water reservoirs which together will add 3.2 million cubic meters. That is more than twice as well as these bring an additional benefit: to be regulating water use in watersheds. “In that sense, not only have more water but we can use all year round,” he said.

BENEFITS TO GENERATE THE CONGA PROJECT

In addition to bringing more water to the region, Santa Cruz Conga explained that should produce around 300 million dollars in taxes and generate about 8 000 jobs and increased economic activity in the area.
