(500 kilometers from Lima, the Peruvian capital) due the contamination by spillage of 45 tons of 14 toxic minerals which seriously affected more than 200 settlers in the community of Santa Rosa, in the District of Cajacay. 
 

Antamina S.A. is the largest and the richest mine of Peru and its wealth is ranked third/fourth level world.

The irresponsibility of the mining company has forced Huaripampa residents mobilizing against their illegal behavior as well as reject the expropriation of its communal  grounds for Antamina S.A. because it does not have a good policy of social responsibility and environmental, besides threatening and mislead the peasants.
