Newsbreak magazine’s special issue on mining is out. The Big Dig is the first journalistic assessment of the mining industry since the Supreme Court upheld the mining act in 2004. It looks into the expected economic benefits of mining operations, as well as their effects on the environment and health of communities. It tackles mining’s dirty past in the Philippines, and proposes solutions and policy reforms.
