In , BHP employed 31, people globally, and around 21, of those employees were located in Australia. BHP is a mining, metals, and petroleum company, founded in Billiton was originally a mining company, while BHP, short for Broken Hill Proprietary Company, began with a large silver and lead mine operation in Australia.
The company is focused into ten different operational units and includes energy coal, iron ore, petroleum, and uranium. In , the company produced Moreover, the company claims that the river has recovered from the disaster, without scientific evidence to support this claim and in contrast to local reports. The giant open-pit mine is located in La Guajira, northern Colombia, where it has displaced and continues to displace indigenous Wayuu and African descent communities.
Local communities have often been relocated and face multiple issues as a result , including loss of their livelihood. The mining operations have also severely damaged the natural environment such that local people fear the land will never recover even after mining stops. This includes destruction of local watercourses which have exacerbated conflict over water as local communities report not having enough water. Additionally, pollution and dust from the coal mine has caused the contamination of water supplies and the air.
Instead of a closure plan with a just transition, the strategy aims to reduce the operational costs at the expense of the workers and to facilitate expansion of the mine by diverting water sources. Meanwhile, the Cerro Colorado mine has been extracting almost three times as much water as it was authorised to. This has resulted in damage to lakes and wetlands that cannot easily be reversed, while many people whose livelihoods depend on the land have been forced to move to urban areas.
BHP is facing multiple lawsuits for over-extraction of water in Chile. The proposed mine would destroy the religious and sacred place known as Oak Flat, including a public campground and potentially up to 6, hectares of public land. The project includes a controversial and technically problematic deep underground block cave mine 2, meters below the surface of Oak Flat.
This would create a crater roughly 3, meters wide and meters deep due to subsidence of the land. The project has already received much opposition due to its environmental impacts and how it will affect the indigenous peoples to whom Oak Flat is sacred.
BHP claims they have the legal right to build the mine in the manner they intend to, while denying that the area is culturally significant to some and refusing to demonstrate the infeasibility of alternate mining methods.
The Billiton company was established and acquired the right to mine on Billiton and Bangka Islands. Billiton continued to mine at Bangka island until The damage is best seen from the air, as pockets of lush forest huddle amid huge swaths of barren orange earth.
This remote island of the Indonesian archipelago continues to be stripped of its forests and dug up for tin used in millions of mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
The mining is often illegal and hazardous and yet few of the leading brands have control over where the tin is sourced from and how it is affecting nature and people who mine it. Charles Rasp, a former German officer who deserted from the Franco-Prussian war and then worked as a boundary rider on a sheep station in western New South Wales, discovered silver and lead in an area known as Broken Hill.
Certain that he had made a rich find, he paid for one of the biggest mining leases taken out in Australia at the time — on land that had been taken from the Wilyakali, Barkandji and other First Nations who had lived there for over 45, years. The creeping violence of settler colonialism was already decimating their population and destroying their way of life based on access to the water systems and the ability to travel over a large area of land when Rasp claimed his find.
As a consequence of farming, mining and urban settlement of the region where the mining company began, the Darling River has virtually dried up. Children have been exposed to high levels of lead , arsenic and cadmium for over a hundred years, despite the fact that the dangers of exposure were recognised as early as Mt Newman Iron Ore Mine started production.
Garside , Sep 17, With operations located mainly in Australia and the Americas, BHP is both an extractor and processor of minerals, oil, and natural gas.

It killed at least 17 people, injured more than 50 people, and caused devastating environmental damage to the surrounding area.
