High and dry: Water issues in Chile and Peru's mining industries

Growing water scarcity in northern Chile and southern Peru -due to increased demand from growing industries coupled with climate change and poor management- has set the stage for rising prices and conflicts among users. End-use efficiency, diversification of sources and cooperation among users, together with improved water management strategies at the state level, is the recipe for defusing the situation. The trouble is finding all the ingredients.

Lithium market outlook and the role of Latin America

Big expectations for the lithium market in recent years have led to production growth and significant investment in exploration. While demand has not taken off like some people expected, the driving force behind demand forecasts continues to be the electric vehicle industry, which is expected to need increasing amounts of lithium for vehicle batteries. However, in the near term oversupply could be a bane. Latin America is at the center of attention, with the biggest producers and the best projects.

Hot coals: A snapshot of Latin America's coal mining and markets

Global coal demand is on the rise, led by the developing world. Latin America may be a small player on the world coal mining scene, but one country in particular -Colombia- shines through in terms of output, reserves and the presence of major mining companies. But many of Colombia's coal projects face the challenge of inadequate infrastructure. Investment in roads, trains and ports will be a deciding factor in whether the sector reaches its potential. Mexico and Brazil also produce coal but are net importers and contribute to growing world coal demand.

Mining Stats: 3Q11

But, as in most nations, striking a balance is not an easy task.
