Xstrata/Glencore Zinc Mine

McArthur River Northern Territory Australia

Cultural Genocide Incorporated?

Sacred Land Link

Glencore was created through a merger of Glencore with Xstrata on 2 May 2013.

Xstrata continue to deny any pollution despite their own figures showing 2.5 times more heavy metals immediately downstream of the mine compared to levels in the river above the mine. Ralph and Currie’s response to Xstrata’s letter clearly identifies that.
