Modern mines are giant operations that can leave behind scarred landscapes that look like the surface of the moon, polluted waters, and damaged communities, if they happen to depend on a clean environment for subsistence, commercial fishing and/or tourism dollars. The following is an outline of the historical data relating to Anglo American, the new 50% partner in the Pebble Mine project along with historical data on comparable mines.
