BRIDGEMOHAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Karen D. Caplan and approved by _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2019 © 2019 Simone R. Bridgemohan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION On Development, Poverty, and Autonomy: A Case Study of a World Bank Public-Private Partnership in Latin America By SIMONE R. BRIDGEMOHAN Dissertation Director: Dr. Karen D. Caplan Using a qualitative, exploratory single-case study approach, this study examines the theoretical and practical discontinuities between the World Bank’s current development model of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and development and poverty trends “on the ground” in localities where Bank-supported projects operate. There exists a disconnect between the Bank’s development rhetoric – framed in terms of Bank projects as “pro-poor” – and how “locals,” especially the poor, perceive what is happening to their livelihoods and community as a result of these development projects. Data was collected through semi- structured interview, participant observation, and primary source documents. This study is grounded in the constructivism paradigm, which, alongside conventional content analysis, guided the data analysis process. This study’s results show that two critical factors, basic needs and autonomy, are integral to study participants’ conceptualizations of poverty and development; in other words, they attribute their own and others’ impoverished livelihoods to a shared inability to meet basic needs and a lack of autonomy.

We describe the nature of the volcanism and its relation to the gold ores on the basis of new dis- trict-scale geologic mapping, 69 40Ar/39Ar ages on igneous rocks and hydrothermal alunite, and petrologic and geochemical investigations. Volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group are the oldest Cenozoic rocks at Yanacocha, and include the Huambo Cancha andesite, andesitic lahars of Tual and Chaupiloma (19.5–15.9 Ma), and the dacitic Cerro Fraile pyro- clastics (15.5–15.1 Ma). The younger Yanacocha Volcanics (14.5–8.4 Ma) form a cogenetic series of lavas and pyroclastic rocks with a cumulative volume of ~88 km3 that represents eruption from a moderate-size volcanic center. Early pyroxene>hornblende-bearing lavas of the Atazaico Andesite (14.5–13.3 Ma) erupted from small stratovolcanoes progressively younger from southwest to northeast. Dacitic dikes followed that are spatially as- sociated with gold deposits at Quilish and Cerro Negro (~7 Moz Au) and stage 1 alunite (13.6–12.6 Ma).

KAPPES† *Newmont Metallurgical Development and Technology, Denver, CO USA. †Newmont Metallurgical Services, Denver, CO USA Newmont is one of the few remaining large mining companies that was established in the early nineteen hundreds. The company has a long, colourful and enviable history. This paper provides highlights of Newmont’s business and technical history since its inception in 1916, its transition to a ‘gold only’ company in the early 1990s and progress since that time up until the present day. Details of Newmonts current gold operations and its gold production profile for 2008 are also provided in the paper Over the last 50 years Newmont has developed a host of innovative gold technologies to meet the challenges of treating the complex refractory gold ores, found at the company owned mines in the Carlin region and around the world. Details of the technologies are provided and they include chlorination, roasting, bacterial and pressure leaching, leaching gold with thiosulphate and thiocyanate, N2Tech flotation, HPGR treatment of hard and abrasive ores and, finally, the use of Hydro-Jex technology for improving gold recovery from heaps. Introduction With the start of the Great Depression in the early 1930s demand for metals and oils fell and Newmont’s share price Newmont is one of the few remaining large mining crashed to $3.88 in 1932.
