Pit stop Emerging risks in Mexico's mining sector

摘要

1.The operating environment for mining companies in Mexico is becoming increasingly challenging, with criminal organisations seeing the sector as an opportunity for profit. 2.The mining sector also faces security challenges that extend beyond organised crime, as the countrywide emergence of self-defence groups has increased the risk of armed resistance from local groups opposing projects. 3.Local communities are also becoming organised to oppose mining projects, although these movements are still weaker than similar groups elsewhere in Latin America.
