Argentina – 02/10/08. The world's third largest mining company, Rio Tinto, may have considered it would easily overcome any opposition to its proposed huge potash mine in Argentina. After all, this would be an underground operation, a non-metallic one, and would offer fertilisers in abundance - albeit probably to Brazil. If so, the company underestimated not only the militancy of local people, but the expertise of several Argentinian agencies which have found major flaws in Rio Tinto's plan.

Buenos Aires, Argentina - 17/11/08. Argentina's president has vetoed a law protecting the country's glaciers that would have restricted mining and oil drilling, officials and environmental campaigners said on Friday. The law, which was passed by Congress last month, might have complicated plans by the world's biggest gold miner, Barrick Gold Corp, to build a $2.4 billion mine straddling the snowy Andean peaks between Argentina and Chile.

Brisbane, Australia - 13/10/08. Intrepid Mines Limited provides the market with an update on the status of its Casposo Project in the San Juan Province of Argentina. Given the dramatic impact of financial market turmoil on the availability of funds – with debt availability uncertain and equity markets effectively closed - the Company has taken the decision to postpone construction of the Casposo Project at this stage, notwithstanding some of the best gold and silver intersections in current extension drilling being received.

Oslo, Norway and London, United Kindom, Wednesday 10 September 2008. The Norwegian Government's decision, announced yesterday, to exclude London-based mining multinational Rio Tinto from its massive State pension fund, is very welcome. The Ministry of Finance announced that the decision had been taken 'due to a risk of contributing to severe environmental damage.' The Ministry was particularly concerned about the company's involvement with the Grasberg copper and gold mine in West Papua. It said that 'There are no indications to the effect that the company's practises will be changed in future, or that measures will be taken to significantly reduce the damage to nature and the environment.'

Ten days ago, the Federal Chambers of Tucumán in Argentina brought criminal charges of environmental contamination against Julián Rooney, Vice-President of Bajo La Alumbrera, Argentina’s largest mining operation located in Catamarca and Tucumán. Rooney is free, but his possessions are impounded, and the company will appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeals, and possibly to the Supreme Court. This is the first ruling in all of Latin America against a mining company for crimes against the environment.

Mining firms pay nothing to extract the ore, leaving us to pay billions in cleanup costs. Gifts of jewelry -- particularly gold -- are a perennial favorite on Santa's list. And with the metal's price hovering near $800 an ounce, the tiniest golden bauble, bangle or bead will be a coveted commodity. But even if you don't elect to splurge on this luxury, it will still cost you plenty because mining companies from around the world can take gold from U.S. lands basically for free, leaving taxpayers with nothing but the cost of cleaning up the damage that mining leaves behind.
