Famatina mining protests

This section is an excerpt from Famatina mining protests.[edit]

The Famatina mining protests opposed gold mining in La Rioja, Argentina beginning in 2011.

Osisko Mining Corporation, based in Montreal, Canada, signed an agreement in August 2011 with La Rioja's state mining corporation “Energia y Minerales Sociedad del Estado”(ESME) to develop the Famatina gold project. This project would cover an area of 40 km2 in the Famatina Mountain Range. Osisko agreed to pay US$500 000 to ESME within 15 days of the signing and invest $US 10 million within the first year of exploration.[1] The terms also stated the division of profits from the project; 70% for Osisko, 30% for ESME.
