Zijin Mining's Rio Blanco project -- reports on conflict & company responses, Apr 2011

Since the Rio Blanco project was first proposed for the Huancabamba region of Peru in the early 2000s, there have been concerns about the environmental impact on the local community and the failure of the mining company, Majaz Mining Company, to obtain the community's consent. In 2004 there was a violent incident in which seven people were killed and in the following year villagers were detained following protests at the site. (Oxfam America has compiled a history of the conflict, which can be accessed here. For information on the lawsuit filed against the parent company, UK-based Monterrico Metals, in a British court, click here.)

In April 2009 the Zijin Mining Consortium -- consisting of Zijin Mining Group (45%), Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group (35%) and Xiamen Construction and Development (20%) -- acquired a 90% stake in the mine from Monterrico Metals. In December 2009, police forces allegedly entered a local village and opened fired on farmers who blocked the road, killing two. NGOs and the media reported on the incident, and in February 2011 a film was released documenting it using footage shot by villagers at the time.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited the three members of the Zijin Mining Consortium to respond to the film and two earlier reports:

  • Tongling Nonferrous Metals - declined to respond
  • Xiamen Construction and Development - declined to respond 

In March 2011, four NGOs -- CooperAcion, Fedepaz, Friends of the Earth-US, CATAPA -- sent a letter to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange [PDF] regarding Zijin Mining's disclosure of environmental and social risks in relation to Rio Blanco.  The letter called on the Exchange to ensure that Zijin Mining discloses its "material" risks, citing the Exchange's rules.  On 4 March, South China Morning Post reported on the letter: "Global green groups attack mainland miner" (Eric Ng, South China Morning Post, 4 Mar 2011)

On 7 April, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Hong Kong Stock Exchange to comment on the letter.  The Exchange sent the following reply:

April 10, 2011
