In Argentina, thanks to lax laws created during the nineties and today’s existing, large multinationals are looking for gold, silver, copper and uranium.
This industry uses nine tons of explosives a day to extraction, to separate the gold from the rock are used daily 10 tons of cyanide, in this same process, called leaching by cyanide 300.000 cubic meters of water per day are used.

Just so you know, a single gold ring is equivalent to 18 tons of toxic waste.
