Based on the findings of a study released Wednesday on water usage in domestic mining by Chile's state copper commission Cochilco, mining minister Santiago González said that if companies do not start searching for alternative water sources now, it is highly likely there will not be enough resources for all the red metal projects slated to begin between now and 2020.
"There is no doubt that this is a serious problem," González said during a Santiago press conference. "There's no point in carrying out projects if we don't have the necessary water resources to develop them in the years to come."
González added that desalination, like that being carried out by copper miner Escondida, 57.5%-owned by BHP Billiton, or direct use of seawater, such as the case of Antofagasta Minerals' Esperanza copper project, are the two best alternatives today to relying on natural aquifers that are drying up due to overuse.
