  1. Anglo American is breaking water promise, say campaigners #Bergbau #Kupfer #Bergbau #Wasser
    Activists from #Peru will challenge mining giant #AngloAmerican at its AGM in London next week. Shareholders gathering on 29 April will hear accusations that the UK-registered company is breaking its promise by shelving construction of the Asana dam near its open-pit copper mine, Quellaveco, in #Moquegua region.

  2. Illumination in dark times
    A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world

    "Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "

    " “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

  3. Japanese steelmakers have raised concerns with Australian authorities that BHP Group could become too dominant in the global supply of coking coal if it goes ahead with a takeover of Anglo American. japantimes.co.jp/business/2024 #business #companies #bhp #angloamerican #jfe #steel #coal

  4. Q. has #AngloAmerican see the future of #farming?

    The firm plans to invest around $9bn in #Yorkshire mine that produces an under-used #organic #fertilizer called #polyhalite.

    It requires no processing & is less damaging to #soil, but remains largely untested at mass levels in a market where #potash is the dominant product.

    This could be a enormous 'white elephant', or it could be a major shift in #farming and prompt an #extractiveindustry boom for Yorkshire.

    Time will tell!

  7. Meanwhile in #NorthYorkshire:
    the Woodsmith mine project (drilling down to secure deposits of #polyhalite - a new mineral #fertilizer yet to be approved for commercial sale - continues to suck money in & take longer than #AngloAmerican (who rescued the project three years ago) expected... if you were hoping for a mining boom (with major #infrastructure construction) near #Teeside, you'll be waiting a little longer... although for those fearing its #environmental impact that may be a blessing!
