A 2014 toxic spill in a Mexican river blamed on Grupo Mexico was not an accident but a result of negligence, the country’s environment minister said on Thursday, while urging the mining conglomerate to create a new plan to remediate the damage.
“It was not an accident, it was negligence,” Environment Minister Maria Luisa Albores said, adding that the government filed a complaint in August against the company, one of the world’s largest copper producers. Grupo Mexico failed to remediate the river’s water and soil and did not provide the funds to carry out proper works for the environmental recovery of the area, according to Albores.The spill was first detected on the morning of Aug. 6, 2014 and pumped 40,000 cubic meters of toxic mining acid into the Bacanuchi river in Mexico’s northern Sonora state, the federal attorney general’s office for environmental protection said at the time.
Grupo Mexico did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the causes of the spill and the government complaint. The miner said in an Oct. 4 statement that remediation work in the river was successful and backed by scientific studies.LME copper stockpiles rebound to highest in nearly two yearsRisk assets are getting a boost from some less hawkish Federal Reserve commentary, and from moves by China to bolster its sinking stock market.The massive capital outlays required by the green energy transition have become a top mining boardroom agenda item, says new survey.
