The Conga project, which has faced massive protests and is currently suspended, seeks to remove between 480,000 to 780,000 ounces of gold and 54,000 tons of copper over the next 20 years. Towards that end, four lagoons have been destroyed, two are slated to be emptied and mined, and two others, Laguna Azul and Laguna Chica, will be used to store waste from the mining process.
