Earlier this month: Pollution Case in the Tambo River
The Matalaque District Municipality reported a concerning yellowish discoloration of the Tambo River waters near the district. This incident, recorded on December 5, indicates that mining tailings from the Florencia-Tucari unit of the Aruntani Mining Company are causing the presence of heavy metals in the water. This reinforces concerns about the potential impacts on water quality and the environmental balance of the valley.

Aruntani Mining S.A.C., at its Florencia-Tucari unit, has been under constant review of its operations due to concerns about its environmental impact. This unit, located in the Moquegua region, has faced multiple accusations of pollution, leading to regulatory interventions and the need to implement mitigation measures.
