Post says Barrick's Veladero accused of poisoning water
2022-06-14 09:39 ET - In the News
The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that Barrick Gold is once again facing accusations that its high-altitude Veladero mine in Argentina is releasing toxins into the local water supply. The Post's Gabriel Friedman writes that this follows similar incidents years ago which spurred the country to pass legislation forcing the mine to temporarily close. Located in the Argentine Andes, Veladero is operated by Barrick but it is jointly owned on a 50:50 basis with China's state-controlled Shandong Gold. The mine has faced criticism related to toxic spills in water dating back to at least 2015. On Monday, industry watchdog Mining Watch Canada targeted the company in a rally outside the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference in Toronto, citing an article in Argentine media that reported that the levels of mercury, lead, aluminum, manganese, nickel and other contaminants in the water supply near Jachal, a town near Veladero, have reached levels considered dangerous for human consumption. The article, published in the Spanish language Tierra Viva on June 2, said the level of contaminants in the Rio de Jachal, used for drinking and irrigation, exceeded all previous incidents..
