* Editor's note: The note TN corresponds to July 2007.
This private television news channel I spend 2 minutes to the problems of pollution (including the 30 seconds that the reporter did Zagas focus on what they are skilled weavers of Abra Pampa and remarkable method of dyeing with carrots, beets and grass mate). Without naming
causes or responsible for the massacre, the driver finds that the blood lead "seems" because of mining.
** Here a paragraph that would ever read it to Benedetti Montevideo.'m rereading the book, when I find the audience.
Argentina is the darling of the global mining industry. Gold is a vital element for life. It only serves to increase profits and speculation of the world's richest countries. Companies U.S., Canada, Britain, Australia, Switzerland, South Africa and Japan driving twenty enterprises in different stages of development, over five thousand miles of mountains.
ALL operating in Argentina mining extraction system using "open."
In Santa Cruz, the "Cerro Vanguardia is a gold and silver. It is owned by Anglo Gold Ashanti (a consortium of British and South African), with participation of the province. Their method of extraction is performed to "open" (using cyanide). This methodology of exploitation by multinational companies, is carried out through a project launched by the former governor and current President Nestor Kirchner.
Only a gold mine, Minera La Alumbrera (located in Andalgalá, Catamarca), exports per year 23 000 tonnes of gold concentrates. The new sites are up to three times larger, consume much more water and dynamite many more mountains. Use the extraction system called "open": no more mining galleries, with peaks and miners. Large explosion rocks Yes, millions of gallons of water and sour soup (often with a pollutant such as cyanide) produce a cocktail accused of polluting air, soil and water.
