Global Solidarity with Communities,
Indigenous Peoples and Workers at
Risk from Mining Pandemic Profiteers
June 2, 2020

The mining industry is one of the most polluting, deadly, and destructive industries in the world. Yet todate, mining company responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have received little scrutiny compared toother industries seeking to profit from this crisis.
We, the undersigned organizations, condemn and reject the ways that the mining industry andnumerous governments are taking advantage of the pandemic to manufacture new mining
opportunities and establish a positive public image, now and for the future.
These actions pose an immediate threat to the health and safety of communities and organizations
that have been struggling to defend public health and their environments against the destruction anddevastation of mining extractivism for decades, as well as to the safety of workers in the mining
sector.
Based on a collective analysis emerging from conversations with affected communities, workers, andcivil society organizations, we have identified the following trends that exemplify this threat. A review
of over 500 media sources, press releases, and reports on mining in the context of COVID-19 further
informs these findings.
One: Mining companies are ignoring the real threats of the pandemic and continuing tooperate, using any means available.
Mining companies and many governments have pushed to categorise mining as an essential service,
enabling operations to continue despite substantial risk. In doing so, they have become key vectors
for the spread of the virus and are putting communities, rural and urban populations, and theirworkforces, at great risk. In many cases, Indigenous and rural communities already face acute risk
from the virus, especially communities whose health has been impacted by contamination generated
by mining extractivism. They are struggling to protect themselves from potential outbreaks.
Two: Governments around the world are taking extraordinary measures to shut down
legitimate protests and promote the mining sector.
Free of public oversight and scrutiny, governments have imposed restrictions on people’s freedom of
association and movement to protect public health. But these severe and even militarized measurescompromise people’s ability to defend their territories and their lives. Land defenders face greater riskof targeted violence and some remain unjustly imprisoned, posing additional risks of infection.
Governments have also deployed state forces (military and police) to repress legitimate, safe
protests, especially in instances where there is long standing opposition to a company’s activities. In
some instances, this has included the implementation of regulations or obstacles to access the justicesystem which entrench impunity, as well as heightened military and police presence in these
territories. Meanwhile, mining companies are permitted to continue operating in these same territories

1

or do so, despite restrictions. These and other actions cynically and unjustly benefit the extractivist
mining sector.
Three: Mining companies are using the pandemic as an opportunity to hide their dirty trackrecords and present themselves as public-minded saviours
At a time when entire countries are struggling to get the bare minimum of test kits necessary,companies have boasted about the millions of privately sourced test kits they have provided toaffected communities and workers. This is poor cover for the long-term health impacts that regularly
result from mining activities and the often underhanded ways in which these same firms operate. It
also represents an affront to the greater public good and the collective efforts of many states andcommunities to secure public access to tests, highlighting the glaring asymmetries of power between
multinational corporations and states in the Global South. In some cases, companies are giving out
food directly to people, creating social division and undermining peaceful resistance while people areunable to mobilize in the context of the pandemic.
Some mining companies have set up assistance funds or made sizable donations to state ministries.
These direct cash ‘donations’ are not only far from commensurate with the real impacts of theiractivities, they also represent a corruption risk, which is already evident as we see governments
willing to weaken emergency measures, fail to enforce those in place, or exclude the mining industry
from them entirely.
Four: Mining companies and governments are using the crisis to secure regulatory changethat favours the industry at the expense of people and planet.
While they frame mining as essential now and for global post-COVID-19 economic recovery, mining
companies are lobbying to expedite administrative decisions and weaken the already-limited
measures which do exist to address the social, cultural, environmental, and economic impacts of theiractivities that are almost always borne by affected communities with complete impunity. Whether
explicitly, by suspending the little environmental oversight and enforcement there was, or implicitly, bymaking it more challenging for affected communities to get information and intervene in permitting
processes, governments are making deep concessions to the mining industry – and companies are
now lobbying governments to make such deregulation permanent.
At the same time, companies are increasingly using supranational Investor State Dispute Settlement(ISDS) mechanisms, embedded in thousands of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, to sue
governments, especially in the Global South. They continue bringing or threatening suits in thehundreds of millions or even billions of dollars for decisions made by governments, courts and evenhuman rights bodies, undermining national sovereignty to make decisions to protect public health andattacking the self-determination of people fighting to protect their wellbeing from extractive projects.
Known pending mining claims - and where information is available - currently total US$45.5 billion
dollars with the actual total potentially much higher. Further threats are feared in response tomeasures taken during the pandemic.
We condemn these responses to the COVID-19 pandemic as acts of aggression that exacerbate
the threats and risks that affected communities, Indigenous peoples, land defenders and mine
workers face on a daily basis.
We reject the central claim that mining represents an essential service either now or for theperiod of economic recovery. In the context of an intersecting global health, economic, ecologicaland climate crisis, we assert that healthy communities, Indigenous peoples, workers, and social
movements – not the profits of predatory mining corporations – are essential.

2

We call on national governments to respect and support the autonomous organizing and selfdetermining processes of mining-affected communities and Indigenous peoples. Their efforts are vitalto protecting community health and the environment, informed by their own knowledge and traditions,as well as to the food sovereignty of rural and urban populations through small-scale agriculture andother productive activities. Economic “reactivation” must not promote more mining, but should,
instead, acknowledge and bolster community-based initiatives.
We call on international human rights bodies to pay close attention and actively condemn
human rights violations committed by governments and mining corporations during the pandemic andthe recovery period to follow.
We stand in solidarity with the frontline communities, Indigenous peoples and workers mostaffected by the COVID-19 crisis and the mining industry’s response. We call on others to support
them in their vital campaigns for collective wellbeing and justice.
