Argentine court rejects Barrick Gold on glaciers

The Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold suffered a tough legal reversal in Argentina on Tuesday, where the Supreme Court reversed preliminary injunctions that have blocked key parts of a glacier protection law.


Barrick maintains that it does not mine on glaciers and that it has already persuaded the provinces that it will contain any environmental damage from gold mining, which requires lots of fresh water and a mix of toxic chemicals.
