About this workshop

The workshop explains the main mineral extraction and processing techniques, their impacts, and why extraction keeps expanding.

Liz and Carolina share the situation in Falan (Tolima, Colombia) with proposed gold and silver mining projects, including Santa Ana.

The last part looks at alternatives such as secondary mining and production and consumption that depend less on mineral extraction.
