A proposed open-cut copper mine and processing plant in Peru is facing protests from local residents concerned that the project will have an impact on water resources. The mine is majority owned by Teck Resources and Japan’s Mitsubishi Materials has a 20% interest. Last week, another meeting organized by the companies in El Pedregal was also interrupted by a small group of activists rallying against the project. In India, there are plans to build two new coal plants at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant near Chennai.
