Peru’s small miners block highways, camp outside Congress demanding registry extension
Analyst says that there are strong competing interests between Congress and small-scale miners that could escalate.
Chinese mining company Chinalco could invest some $426 million in bauxite mining in Suriname, the chair of a Surinamese presidential mining commission said on Monday, with the South American country expected to get a 13% share in the project.
If approved by parliament, Chinalco could begin construction by the middle of next year and would produce 6 million tonnes of bauxite – the key ore for aluminum – per year, said government advisor Daniel Lachman.
