Some pictures of the mine itself would be much appreciated.-Jersey Devil 21:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

photos
I did send some pictures. Do you want more? I have "tons" of photos. ... .Euyasik (talk) 23:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Re the photo of the "renaturalised area, Aug 2005", is that really up at Yanacocha? The exposed rock certainly does not look like the top of an old open pit and I do not remember any trees like that up there. In fact, my lasting impression was of a treeless grassland.

For more information, see article “Mineral industry of Peru,” which discusses the role of the mineral industry in Peru’s national economic development. Furthermore, the article presents information about controversies generated by the mineral industry due to its adverse impacts on the environment and the livelihoods of rural communities.Sraman195 (talk) 03:52, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Neutral article??
Is this a neutral article? Or is it strong anti-mining? Nowhere we read that thousands of people found a job here, that the mine helps to develop the Cajamarcan area. ... . Euyasik (talk) 15:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

No, it is not a neutral article and the bias is quite strongly anti-mining. There is no information about the mine or its employees. I fear that mining is like a red rag to a bull as far as eco-activists are concerned so I'm not surprised. Mafestel (talk) 17:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean is it not a neutral article? All social protests have occured as you can find out by checking the sources. If you have any positive and reliable information on the mining activities in Cajamarca you should put it on the page. You can't blame eco-activists that they put their information here, you should blame others for not putting effort and sharing the information they have to get as more balanced view. And lastly on the content of you remark: yes mining generates work, but often not for the local people of the region itself. In mining cooperation Yanacocha for example, most people working in the mines and especially those managing the mines are high skilled workers from other provinces of Peru (often from Lima) and many are also from abroad. This is also why the mining company generates so much social tension in the region. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pachacutec (talk • contribs) 20:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The anti-mining and anti-Newmont tone of the article seems obvious to me. Newmont has a reputation in the business as straight-shooters and as an environmentally-responsible outfit. I'm currently reading about Yanacocha in a 2010 history of the company, and will be adding stuff from there as time permits. --Pete Tillman (talk) 01:15, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
