Abstract

Surface mining has spread like a pest on big part of the Latin-American territory. In Mexico the case is particularly serious because the fourth part of his land is awarded to mining transnational companies. In this essay we studied the case of the corporation Esperanza Silver, SA de CV, which was trying to settle in Temixco, Morelos (Mexico) and whose permission of development was pushed back recently by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) of the Mexican nation, not without an important opposition to the mine for the civil society and the local government.
