In 2010, 145 billion pesos was the total value derived from mining, but only 9 percent went to the national treasury. These natural resources are yours; it shouldn’t happen that all that’s left to you is a tip after they’re extracted”

10. “In the extractives sector, where investments are hefty and require a long time to generate returns, political instability and social tensions are the real enemy. The technical piece is easy. Political and social instability are the real enemy to extraction companies. Transparency at national, local and community levels shows what is to be done, where and at what cost.”
Phil Hemmens, Senior Vice President, Exploration and Production, ENI
