Residents of Jáchal, San Juan province, have stepped up protests against the reopening of the Veladero mine responsible for several cyanide spills into the local river system.
Protesters from the movement ‘Jáchal No Se Toca’ ‘(‘You Don’t Touch Jáchal’) took over the local town hall this week after Barrick Gold resumed operations on the Veladero site, after less than a month of suspension following the second reported cyanide spill in the last year.
