\"\"A delegation of senators and deputies, members of the Commission of Natural Resources and the Environment from the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, has travelled to Australia, invited by Perilya mining company to learn about the development and the advances made in underground mining as well as the advantages of this type of mining from an environmental point of view. The company seeks to exploit a copper\/gold operation at the Cerro de Maim\u00f3n Concession in the Dominican Republic. It already operates the Broken Hill mine in Australia. The Guardian reports on the transition in Broken Hill from being an abandoned mining town to a major site for renewable energy.<\/p>\n

The delegation is headed by Senator F\u00e9lix Mar\u00eda Nova and other members are Senators Euclides S\u00e1nchez, Antonio Cruz Torres, F\u00e9lix Mar\u00eda V\u00e1squez and Deputy Ricardo de Jes\u00fas Contreras Medina. They will visit the mines of Broken Hill and Potosi, both located in Broken Hill, Australia.<\/p>\n

During the tours they will receive explanations about underground exploration and the importance of preserving the environment, as in the case of the Cerro de Maimon Concession, which could be changed from open cast mining to underground. Also with the commission are Jonathan Ruiz Lizardo, operations manager of Cerro Mine and Elizabeth Mena, legal manager.<\/p>\n

El Nacional reports that the mission will also meet with the mayor and governor of Broken Hill and discuss matters about responsible mining, occupational safety and health and managing the environment. They will also visit the New South Wales Parliament and officials from the Department of the Environment.<\/p>\n
