The spending power of people from emerging economies is driving the price of gold up to record highs. but at what cost? A controversial mine in northern Chile could threaten one of the most fertile valleys in the driest area of the country. Lucia Newman reports.

hey guys, have a look at legend of someplace special on here
Newman really overdoes it with the hypercorrect pronounciation of Spanish place names and proper names. Kind of like how they do on NPR. and in the SNL skit where they spoofed the reporter who kept saying “Nicərrrrrrrawə!’

Hi Kuorerock
This project didn´t get approved by Michele, it was approved with Frei and Menen in 1997 “Tratado Binacional Minero” They´ve been modifying the project, because people from the valley were against Pascua Lama. Barric Gold has so much power that even the media in Chile are sold, they don´t inform about this, most of the Chilean people have no idea about this. Terrible, i hope we can do something ….
Hola, ese tratado lo firmó Eduardo frei durante su gobierno en 1997, se llama “Tratado Binacional Minero” y lo firmó junto a Menen de Argentina. De donde eres?
Hola Candy10ENEro, tienes mas informationes sobre el Frei q firmo el aprobacion. Sabes E. Frei sus padres fueron suizos el Marc Rich ex jefe de Xstrata (hoy Barrick Gold) es tambien suizo…esque estoy trabajando para un doc. gracias..
hey Barrick is a canadian co. from YOUR country…
Mexico Argentina y Chile deberian de unir fuerzas y luchar contra este tipo de abusos de estados unidos y canada!
Fuera Barrik gold y los demas abusos de estos paises explotadores!!!!
y nosotros queriendo irnos para alla viendo que los hp se hacen ricos con lo nuestro viendo que norte america esa mierda alla no queda nada eso ya es un desierto latinos vengan aluchar por la naturaleza nuestra.
no fue Bachelet, fue Frei quien firmó la aprobacion de este projecto
fucking bachelet and all the guvernment of chile.
They are thieves no more than that fuck off the chilean president
it’s not the man’s love for the metal itself, but rather the hate for the paper money. that’s why fake gold doesn’t work despite being just as shiny and heavy as the real gold jewelery.
soy argentino. pascua lama es un proyecto binacional. Soy de la provincia de san juan y hace rato estan censurando cada documental o articulo sobre la contaminacion de la mineria a cielo abierto y su enorme impacto ambiental. Internet en lo unico que nuestros gobernantes no pueden censurar. Hermanos Chilenos unamos fuerzas y defendamos lo que es nuestro.
Afuera Barrik gold
Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com FHFHF
Y quien diablos detendrá esto?. Los gobiernos de Chile y Argentina deberían ponerse los pantalones de una vez por todas y no permitir lo que todos sabemos que es dañino.
a veces siento verguenza de ser chileno
ojo que la empresa es canadiense
como nos pasan por el orto estos gringos hijos de puta
recuerden que todo se devuelve en la vida mal nacidos
that is incredible, how barrick came here (Chile) and in just a year or less, get total control over thousands of chilean areas in the vallenar and huasco’s valley territory.
Peter Munk, chair of barrick came here in a rush and got a meeting with our president “michelle “vendida” Bachellet”, after that meeting, every rule, regulaiton, concerning enviromental care was passing away, and now the proyect is already approve.
i have a deeply felling of telling fu%$%#$ you to those person behind barrick gold, there are just a few ones, the “patrones de fundo”, but oue president is also a big responsable to give barrick complete access to our lands.
i am british citizen but i can not stop feeling as the yanks steal gold from your country. the gold is chilean. god, damn thieves. in the name of jesus come on people! open your eyes please
I can’t believe that in my own country, the government is letting this happen, it’s unbelievable. Letting another foreign country take over our rich sources. how ignorant is that, or maybe their is big bucks involved. Anyways, now a days people only care about money power, so there must be money involved in this, and unfortunalety this people that have power in my country don’t give a damn about their own country, they only think of their ambitions.
emmmm te invito a q averigues cuanto durarian los recursos en el mundo si consumieramos a la velocidad de estados unidos
un ejemplo
la plata tiene como de 10 a 9 años si lo consumieramos a la velocidad de USA… solo duraria 4 años
y si ves bien… la empresa barrick gold… es de los bush
