  • The Memorandum of Understanding Between Barrick Gold and Diaguita Communities of Chile
    1 A Problematic Process: The Memorandum of Understanding between Barrick Gold and Diaguita Communities of Chile By Dr. Adrienne Wiebe, September 2015 For MiningWatch Canada and Observatorio Latinoamericano de Conflictos Ambientales (OLCA) “Canadians need to be aware of what Barrick is doing. The company is trying to make money at any cost, at the price of the environment and the life of communities. Canadians should not just believe what Barrick says. They should listen to what other voices, those from the local community, have to say.” – Raúl Garrote, Municipal Councillor, Alto del Carmen, Chile Introduction In May, 2014, Canadian mining company Barrick Gold announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 15 Diaguita communities in the area around the controversial Pascua Lama mine.i According to the company, the stated objective of the MOU between Diaguita Comunities and Associations with Barrick’s subsidiary Compañia Minera Nevada Spa in relation to Pascua Lama is to eXchange technical and environmental information about the project for which Barrick commited to provide financial and material resources to support its analysis. Barrick claimed that the MOU set a precedent in the world of international mining for community responsiveness and transparency. According to company officials, the agreements met and even exceeded the requirements of International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 and set a new standard for mining companies around the world in their relationships with local Indigenous communities.ii While this announcement sounded positive, the situation is much more compleX and problematic than that presented publically by Barrick Gold. The MOU raises questions regarding: 1) Indigenous identity, rights, and representation; 2) development and signing of the MOU, and 3) strategies used by mining companies to gain the so-called social licence from local populations.

  • Chemical and Mineralogical Characterization of the River Huasco (Norte Chico, Chile)
    XII Congreso Geológico Chileno Santiago, 22-26 Noviembre, 2009 S1_026 Chemical and Mineralogical characterization of the River Huasco (Norte Chico, Chile). Valdés, A.1,Polvé, M.1, Oliva, P.1, Morata, D.2 (1) Laboratoire des Mécanismes et Transferts en Géologie - UMR 5563 UR 154 CNRS Université Paul-Sabatier IRD Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées - 14, avenue Edouard Belin - 31400 Toulouse. (2) Departamento de Geología, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, Plaza Ercilla, Santiago. [email protected] Geographical Context The area of study is located south of the third region of Atacama between the 28 and 29th southern latitude, corresponding to the Huasco River Valley. The origin of this river is located at the confluence of the rivers “El Tránsito” and “El Carmen”, which flows into the northern part of the city with the same name. The river Huasco extends for 88 kilometres and presents a basin of 9850 km2, with a general orientation east west. Geographically the total surface of the basin is equivalent to a 13% of the regional surface area (III region of Atacama). Through the Huasco River valley different urban centers can be found, for example, Puerto Huasco, Freirina, Vallenar y Alto del Carmen. According to the 2002 census, there exist 15 sites, from which two are cities and the rest rural areas. The cities found on the basin are Vallenar with 48040 inhabitants and Huasco with 7945. Objectives Considering geologic, geographic and meteorological characteristics of the study area, the goal of the present study is to characterize chemically and mineralogically the river Huasco through the analysis of water and sediment samples, collected between the cities of Alto del Carmen and Huasco.

  • Monitoring to Support Water Quality Management in North-Central Chile
    Monitoring to Support Water Quality Management in North-Central Chile Lars Ribbea, *, Nicole Kretschmerb, Lena Saptalenaa, Ricardo Oyarzúnb,c, Mesenia Atenasd, Francisco Mezab,e and Eduardo Salgadof a Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ITT), Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Germany b Centre forAdvanced Studies in Arid Zones (CEAZA), Chile c Mines Engineering Department, University of La Serena, Chile d Chilean National Water Authority (DGA), Department of Water Resources Conservation and Protection, Santiago, Chile e Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA), Región Coquimbo, Chile f Catholic University of Valparaiso, Faculty of Agriculture, Chile * Email: [email protected] Abstract After describing the general relevance of water quality monitoring for sustainable water resources management this paper presents the current water quality issues and monitoring practice in Chile and approaches to optimize it, focussing on the semi-arid region of North- Central Chile. Water quality management requires scientifically sound data as a base for the decision making process. This data should be provided by suitable monitoring systems. In Chile, like in other countries, information requirements with regard to water quality are determined by the national water policy and legislation. In addition, monitoring system design needs to take into consideration the variability of the natural processes as well as pressures exerted to the systems by human activities, including pollution, water abstractions and climate change. At the end, social and political aspects determine how important water quality monitoring is for the country or region and economic aspects determine which monitoring intensity is feasible. However, a sound scientific knowledge can help to allocate resources for monitoring in the most efficient way.
