Уул уурхайн салбар нь дэлхийн хамгийн бохирдолтой, үхэл, сүйрэл авч ирдэг салбаруудын нэг. Гэтэл өнөөдрийг хүртэл COVID-19 цар тахлаас ашиг олох гэсэн уул уурхайн компаниудын үйл ажиллагааг бусад салбартай харьцуулахад маш бага хянаж байна.

Дор гарын үсэг зурсан байгууллагууд бид, уул уурхайн салбар ба засгийн газрууд цар тахлыг ашиглан олборлох шинэ боломжийг бий болгон, одоо болон ирээдүйд олон нийтэд эерэг дүр төрх эсгэх оролдлогыг буруушааж, эсэргүүцэж байна.

Эдгээр ажиллагаа нь олон арван жилийн турш уул уурхайн устгал, сүйтгэлийн эсрэг хийгээд, олон нийтийн эрүүл мэнд, тэдний хүрээлэн буй орчныг хамгаалахын төлөө тэмцэж ирсэн нутгийн хүн ам, байгууллагуудын болоод уурхайн ажилчдын эрүүл мэнд, аюулгүй байдалд шууд аюул учруулж байна.

Eight organisations that put questions to Rio Tinto at its London AGM on 8 April (or, to be precise, at the connected ‘shareholder engagement session’) are still waiting for adequate answers to their questions more than a month after the event. So we have written an open letter to Rio Tinto’s Chief Executive Office, Jean-Sebastien Jacques, setting out the questions again. Some were answered at the time, but wholly inadequately. Some have not been answered at all. We have asked the company to respond within three weeks.

London Mining Network has published a new report entitled ‘Cut and run: How Britain’s top two mining companies have wrecked ecosystems without being held to account’. The report includes examples from Southeast Asia of where the British-Australian multinationals BHP and Rio Tinto have left legacies of conflict and environmental destruction, long after they’ve fled the scene.

Recent examples of mining messes include Brumadinho, the tailings (mining waste) dam owned by Brazilian mining company Vale, which collapsed in January 2019 in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Vale executives, along with its German advisors TUV Sud, were recently charged with the homicide of 272 people; 14 people are still missing. Vale, along with BHP, jointly own the Samarco iron ore mine and tailings dam which also collapsed in 2015, causing Brazil’s worst environmental disaster in history and the deaths of 20 people. The trauma due to loss of life, displacement and job loss and the environmental repercussions of contamination of river systems in both catastrophes will be felt for decades to come. The entire mining industry needs to be held to account for such mining messes, and laws made which demand the cleaning up of messes made by mining companies before they pull out of projects.
