Solidaridad werkt met Minera Yanaquihua aan beter leven voor goudmijnwerkers in Peru

How do certain colleagues say that the state does not always criminalize us, they call us thieves and we would not want that. We do not want to show what artisanal mining is really like. What I would like is for the mining company to consider us, that the president, all the authorities that consider us that we exist the same personal idea is not going to disappear in artisanal mining it is the response to the absence of work to the absence of the state in places like this we want efe 6 goal after digging in images of the productive the maintenance pension series cold grande goldman in campista del feef and communities small skyliners work independent law 'no les conditions says that the other is normal is that of the cen safety facebook account constant collapse mein kampf daily 9 solidarity of every hour of exposing yourself can be done it is normal I am in favor of the working conditions decrease work without its first report the cndh in sunderland its solidarity in cuts both that make up the east of the ministry side miguel promotion of work a live music online in ways that manage safety conditions 20 minutes more than good to enter the mine Let's look at this mine, the case is that we have to be careful in our heads, as you can see, here we have installed win win chip, the same one that removes either the waste or the ore from approximately 130 meters inside the hill, has warned at this moment that it can now make the next to the product as I mentioned at the time with approximately 130 meters, today a boat of let's do it is transferred so you know a basic where you fill the waste or

l this is the

minera

l that comes out black mineral called spirit a sulfur is white quartz that Charles has it right now, it exists in this law, it is more or less between six and seven grams per ton, it is not very good to say the least, but it supports the expenditure that is made in a way and here comes the issue of our work, we would like to mechanize this because it is totally artisanal, that is to say that we grab a shovel, we fill a bag from the bag, we take it to a cart, and then there you see, then if we didn't have a mechanical shovel, suddenly a larger section, a suitable fan, we could carry out our work in a better way, but something that No, it doesn't happen at this moment that that's why we're saying we would like a mining community to be formed but you know very well that there are so many obstacles that put us in this formalization process, that's what harms us, it's quite a bit so maybe there could be the state may have a mechanism that may be more viable for this training process with many roosters is to release our and you and working in interest citizen condition and protection visually to cold cowgirls of collect called meat traumas or mine workers in the investment solidarity three elements of living conditions of Campomanes have action chain my name is María I am 17 years old and I come from Iquitos I have three children and I am a father and mother in my case my name is not Candelaria the goal is that I come from Cotahuasi province Coto Agua yes and I still work for eight years because it is enough for me because there is also the same thing over there, there is poverty, there is no work with flames that work with farm crops and the farm crops do not supply us with enough food to feed ourselves, even worse for the study of our children.

There aren't any, we have to look for them, so we go out to a place where there is work, we collect the mineral, the pain that we suffered, we work on the clearing of what from the mining, those who go out to vote reindeer with general, they choose, they, if they don't run, we take them, we select them. Well, that's how we sell, producing work. What I would like is for the mining company to consider us, that the president considers us to be formalized, but we must have practically holding at times one of we know that there is no yes to train the assistants some need little ones in paperwork but in passing with a paper it is after being one it is above all the mandatory uniforms at work in South America solidarity in posters goldman in campaigns of the meeting international standards and support for developing call center and communities good office mainz is way and in active wild for solidarity des book complexes Precious Corinto building of the person in charge of the council solidarity stand of the guadiana opponents that emanate from formulas of arts are not going to suppose working on an island take care of its first report mind and gabbana is the active binary plant, look here it still has a process plant that treats 150 tons per day we treat based on a leaching process the mineral reaches the upper part of the plant there are crushing processes grinding processes classification processes leaching processes and finally there is an absorption process our final product is activated carbon with gold content we are going to see it right now the gold is extracted in water it has a presence of 15 years in the area we work in an environment where personal mining since 2001 we tried to move a gold exploration and exploitation project in the area and we realized that the strategy we should use in this area was to include artisanal miners in our chain, which I would like What to do is to let is that at least these these communities or these associations that work around the mine have assets can really one day be successful companies, whatever they can individually or in association because it does not necessarily have to be all the associates can achieve success, the problems returning to the topic of social problems, these were very hard and dealing with them as a small company that we just started, we did not have a very solid economy, on the contrary, we started with very little capital, we had to find a way to coexist with people that was there and what we did is develop a series of bonds of trust because it is the most complicated part of this work since working, let's say, on the issue of trust, we have an important growth based on the participation of the miners as micro contractors and As miners who sell us the mineral, the large mines are not going to be able to work economically, probably being a large mine, it has a deposit with a vein that is very small.

What they are going to do is try to extract everything, it does not lead to the exhibition father and many times that is not possible then we have to work it selectively and the only people who can work selectively are the artisanal miners so we reduced our costs because they have very high selective activities we incorporated this gold into our production that otherwise would continue in the hills and the Miners, for their part, reduced the risk of exploring. They worked in places and were certain of the existence of minerals. They work under safe conditions and are doing business and are growing.

Now we protect our workers through the security area. Perhaps we have previously. worked empirically and have been able to cause many accidents now now there is no longer now it is now the work inside the mine is very responsible therefore the worker works safely and well protected the helmet the overalls the boots the safety belt the gloves the respirator the safety lamp are fully equipped these workers do not lack anything complete with all their app when the company arrived and I well the opportunity but it can be formalized and that way I can work then this me really that if he is very interested bad and that's it formalize the garlic so it is a way that has been growing, advancing to improve our quality of life the tools because it was done more before the pulse with a bar aunts with a shovel pick now it was no longer improving enough and for today it is in the quality is life From where we reach, we live or eat, it is a level that could be said to be very acceptable, it is very stable, it is beautiful.

I think that I particularly feel very happy and satisfied to have worked and say no, no, now, generating direct and indirect jobs in mining and ancient in solidarity he thought of it for instructing communities valdés normal multiforme the session only of genoa with him here dancing from facebook the mission of working in close that the version of anac and return hostile independent service three nominations in work is michael contracts before of champions early in The psoe of carrying also depends on agricultural inspection of the information of the extensions of being these costs are prophets in after they could not be active from champions where Carlos in this world championship Estonia native island from anywhere in the country in part you can champions bianchi ways in which the pressure solidarity insurgent in the group go ahead with active sport command and you save techniques the jumpsuit helps us protects us a lot from the heat the helmet protects us from the accidents that falls from the stones of those stones sometimes the collapse comes jumping arrives a stone is high, the shoes fall on some stones and it no longer exists and before no 6 truth health and formally 6 is that type what is the work that is done with mercury just as we are discussing it this is the and ampo that we We say, we call it a stone of stone ore that we extract in the mine, the masters in the mill, bulbs, well, once it is pulverized, we lower it and kim, okay, we add water, we cover the anchovy and we begin to amalgamate, these are the little bottles that we store the mercury a total of 2 kilos in half it is in each ballet so once when we add the mercury to the king ballet it came back we add and water starts to work and suitcases and since we are fine then right now it is surely collecting it is trapping the mercury it is a metal That attracts gold, no, then the coarse gold trapped by the mercury and the fine gold goes into the tailings, there is mercury left here.

If we do a washing process in a vat, let's say we are going to find mercury in small quantities, it is not in our best interest to lose the mercury. Because it is expensive, very expensive, so what we take care of the most in some way so as not to lose is also the mercury bag. The dt is a small mercury recovery tank. The use of mercury is highly polluting. Mercury affects people's nervous systems. It poisons us in a small way. little and its use is highly widespread in the practices of miners in central and the most unfortunate thing is that the mercury found in the tailings is very close to schools, homes, stores and this creates a highly polluting environment when episodes of rain occur, the rain drags these metals and takes them downstream to valleys where agricultural activities are carried out and that creates pollution in the rivers, in the food, in the fish, in the shrimp and finally in the sea when I shared the version of campaign of not being able to open more processes of 16 people and investment we think that formalization is a process that should help mercury disappear but not so much by prohibiting as happens many times as the law says from that date that mercury comes from I believe that if they are convinced that mercury gives them money and they are not going to stop using it because the government prohibits it, they are going to stop using it if they really realize one that economically is not the most optimal, technically it is not the most useful and two are killing your health, we have put a lot of effort into highlighting the advantages, for example, that all mineral processing activities are carried out by the company, or rather if they deliver the mineral to us as micro contractors or as artisanal suppliers, they They avoid doing an activity that is costly, that is inefficient, that contaminates them, that contaminates their families, that contaminates the environment and is part of an illegal chain, so we believe that if beneficial activities are developed by formal companies like ours using the technology that we have and also that we are controlled by the authority so that the impacts are controlled we believe that this is a significant contribution experience in many channeling of management formulas lines tumor responsible accounting mining and economic growth same humans woofer have all the way to live solidarity is the cousin communities normal parts that seek formulas grieving people but the formerly normal memories of compliments extras envelope different wang that I had with formulas of six permanent elements of process cases is difficulty where they are in our own conventional literature is very independent pods glue is normal of complete human capabilities process of action and solidarity is action in gelves they take is when they are directly on twitter first thank you for the solidarity because I think it has been providing important support in the issue of precisely training to know what the paths are Because if the law was passed, no one knew what the path was.

In this case, solidarity has been supporting us in this technical issue of knowing what should be done step by step. So that is where a lot of solidarity is having an impact. We are eternally grateful for saying so. So because for us it would already be an expense that would be out of our reach, we think that in the long term we are going to be able to work in a peaceful way in order to grow this artisan community, it is because we believe that deep down if one shows them that we all win, that is, not only they win, but not only the company, but both of them win, and they are going to be happy because they are going to see that there is something behind it.

Through that reality, we have understood a little how mining works, artisanal mining, not only in Peru but in the world and it has opened our minds to be able to analyzeother experiences and being able to incorporate them, including ours, there are a series of possibilities where solidarity could begin to create this, this is a series of let's say alliances with those who are in the middle so that they can also see a benefit of why doing a fair business because work well with their producer below and towards the end the same with the final producers that they are going to have.

I imagine that they already know it but alginet and they will probably have a better response from their buyers knowing that the entire chain is guarded, so the starting role I think it is in everything from the big ones to the smallest solidarity alone walking with effective manning in destriana mangold several series of fighting in zolder responsible facebook gold es wimbledon the market solidarity free decision by level increase in the goal scored by recluse fertile in the full responsible college sect in tab we have had contact with some refineries that have not shown much interest in obtaining a certified model and they simply want to have gold and I think that perhaps it is the most challenging part of the work of solidarity and other institutions That this need has to be inserted from the highest part of the chain.

I think that the big brands and these big companies can see a benefit. What is it? It is an intangible expression among their consumers that they are protecting the origin of the raw material. Joel is used, I always make the parallel, for example, to the big trend that there is in Europe in other countries, that many people prefer, for example, organic products. I imagine that it is similar in the case of the chain where the people who sell the final product know how it originated and that this origin is an origin that has a fair origin and that distributes wealth equally for everything through solidarity.

We have met several groups of jewelers who are responsible jewelers who are interested in a responsible way and we are doing all the investments of the case to be able to provide you with a product already on a gold bar and that can be said to be aligned in the responsible gold chain before gloomy days of the sinkhole nights of tragedy hopelessness and disappointment are felt in my soul so my life passing by I go because I I am black that for my country for my entire existence more in life I must suffer from grace and great tragedy will end that everything is here destined for my life I am in holy heaven that is why I ask God to die like a miner miner walks until magnetar mined end cause your life
