Der Einfluss Von Lagerstätteneigenschaften Auf Eine Nachhaltige Rohstoffnutzung Am Beispiel Kupfer Der Einfluss von Lagerstätteneigenschaften auf eine nachhaltige Rohstoffnutzung am Beispiel Kupfer Von der Fakultät für Georessourcen und Materialtechnik der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule Aachen zur Erlangung des akademischen Grade eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Diplom-Geologin Henrike Sievers aus Weener Berichter: Univ.-Prof. Dr. rer. nat. F. M. Meyer Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. P.N. Martens Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 13.05.2005 „Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Hochschulbibliothek online verfügbar“ Vorwort ______________________________________________________________________________ Vorwort Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand am Institut für Mineralogie und Lagerstättenlehre (IML) der RWTH Aachen im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereiches 525 „Ressourcenorientierte Gesamtbetrachtung von Stoffströmen metallischer Rohstoffe – Entwicklung von Methoden und ihre Anwendung“. Besonders bedanken möchte ich mich bei Herrn Prof. Meyer, der als Betreuer diese Arbeit mit konstruktiven Diskussionen, stets neuen Anregungen und kontinuierlichem Interesse begleitete. Mein besonderer Dank gilt dem SFB 525 mit all seinen Mitarbeitern, die meine Arbeit mit ihrer Diskussionsbereitschaft unterstützt haben und immer ein offenes Ohr für Fragen hatten. Hier möchte ich mich besonders bei den Mitarbeitern des „Instituts für Bergbaukunde I“ Herrn Dr. Ruhrberg, Herrn Dr. Mistry und Herrn Pateiro bedanken. Meinen Kollegen im IML Herrn Dr. Kolb und Herrn Dr. Grassman danke ich für die fachlichen Diskussionen, die immer neue relevante Aspekte hervorbrachten. Abseits von Geologie, Bergbau und Nachhaltigkeit möchte ich Arne, Juri, Arno, Mark, Annette, Julia, Karin, Uwe, Jörg und Danni, Andi und Widu, Eva und allen anderen, denen ich in der Zeit in Aachen begegnet bin, für nicht fachliche Diskussionen und gemeinsame Freizeitaktivitäten aller Art danken. Für ihre allseitige Unterstützung möchte ich meinen Eltern danken. Auf ihre Rückendeckung konnte ich mich stets verlassen. Unendlich dankbar bin ich Arne, der mich nach Kräften unterstützt hat, wo er immer konnte und der sich so wunderbar um Sander kümmert. Sander bin ich dankbar dafür, dass er mich immer mit einem Lachen, einer Umarmung, einem Kuss aufgeheitert hat und so alle Anstrengungen sofort vergessen ließ. Ich danke euch beiden für eure Geduld und euer Verständnis. Danke!

  • Contrasting Andean Attitudes Towards Foreign Direct Investment
    9 | Global Societies Journal, Issue 1, 2013 So Close Yet So Far: Contrasting Andean Attitudes towards Foreign Direct Investment By: Daniela Peinado ABSTRACT Should a developing nation embrace foreign direct investment, or are such decisions more likely to result in a dependency that inhibits growth in the long run? The recently elected presidents of neighboring countries Bolivia and Peru have opposing attitudes in this regard, despite their analogous reliance on mineral exports and predominantly indigenous populations. I closely examine the impact of two lucrative mines—both in production for over one hundred years, privatized around the turn of the last century, and most recently owned by Swiss company Glencore. I find that Morales’s choice to renationalize the mine in Bolivia is justified based on the perceived impact of foreign involvement, the desires of his constituents, and his overwhelming concern for the environment. However, though the country has made significant financial gains thus far, it is still too soon to fully realize the repercussions of his decision. On the other hand, as Peru enjoys a relatively prosperous economy, even a narrowly focused case study illustrates the merits and downfalls of neoliberal policies in Latin America. Keywords: political economy, nationalize, privatize, foreign direct investment, development, resources, populist, public opinion, neoliberal policies INTRODUCTION Foreign direct investment is a divisive topic in the study of international political economy, and especially important as the world continues to grow interconnected. Opponents contend it is exploitative and leads to dependant development, while proponents suggest it might even be essential for economic growth, providing capital, technology, and employment.

The United States Copper Industry in the World Market: Running Hard Yet Losing Ground "Now here, you see," said the Red Queen to Alice, "it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that."' I. INTRODUCTION The United States copper industry has been running hard against its foreign competitors, yet it has lost ground. The industry has significantly reduced production costs while complying with costly environmental regulations and confronting the lowest copper prices this century while witnessing a dramatic increase in imports. Despite these efforts, and the recent spectacular rise in copper prices, imports have penetrated deep into the United States domestic market, and employment in the domestic copper industry has dropped to half of what it was in 1980. The United States copper industry decline is due in part to lower production costs of foreign producers arising from cheaper labor and higher grade ore.

  • Siddergarybrian1985
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gary Brian Sidder for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presented on November 21, 1984 Title: Ore Genesis at the Monterrosas Deposit in the Coastal Redacted for privacy Abstract Monterrosas is a hydrothermal deposit of copper and iron that is hosted by gabbro-diorites of the Upper Cretaceous Patap Superunit within the Coastal Batholith of central Peru. The orebody is localized by fractures and splays related to a nearby regional fault and is com- posed of massive chalcopyrite, magnetite, and pyrite. Ore and altera- tion minerals such as actinolite, sodic scapolite, epidotes, sphene, magnetite, apatite, tourmaline, chlorites, hematite, and quartz formed dominantly as replacements of magmatic diopside, labradorite-andesine, and ilmenite. Hydrothermal mineralization was characterized by the exchange of major, minor, and trace elements between hot saline fluids and gabbro-diorite wall rocks. Metasomatism involved the addition of FeOt, K20, MgO, and the ore-forming metals (Cu, Co, Au, Ag, and Mo) to the host rocks, and the concomitant depletion of Si02, CaO, Na20, and Ti02. The losses and gains of these major oxide components in samples of gabbro-diorite may be used to define an alteration index that is correlative with the distance to ore, the intensity of hydrothermal alteration, and the concentration of copper. Geochemical data suggest that the ore and gangue minerals were deposited at high temperatures from saline fluids derived from a magma. The evidence includes fluid inclusions within gangue quartz that exhibit homogenization tempera- tures of 400° to 500°C, salinities of 32 to 56 wt percent NaCl,and the halite trend, and magmatic-Jike sulfur isotopic compositionsthat range from 1.6 to 3.3 permil in pyrite andchalcopyrite.

A new vision for mining in Peru 37 Endnotes 45 Acknowledgements 48 Unearthing the truth 1 Executive summary Peru implemented a series of reforms in the 1990s aimed at attracting foreign investment in the mineral sector. It was thought that increased mineral investment would stimulate economic and social development. The reforms had the initial desired effect: mineral investment increased. However, this came at the expense of campesino1 land rights and the environment. Claims by the mining industry and international financial institutions (IFIs), such as the World Bank, that mining investment would contribute to sustainable development in Peru, have not been borne out. In fact, poor people and their environments have suffered, while companies have seen profits rise. Using case studies and legal, economic and environmental data and analysis, this report shows that the questionable benefits increased mining has delivered to the Peruvian economy in the last decade or so cannot justify the suffering it has inflicted on poor communities. It calls on the Peruvian government and the international community to rethink their approach to foreign investment, and to develop regulations that ensure that poor people benefit from industrial development where it takes place. Chapter 1 documents the legal reforms undertaken by the Peruvian government to attract foreign capital.
