For over 20 years, Phichit and Phetchabun villagers have lived with illness, contaminated water, and the daily fear of what the mine has done to their land and bodies. Since the mine reopened in 2023, the company has moved full speed ahead: boosting production, securing tax breaks, and turning record profits. At the same time, they launched glossy CSR projects and PR campaigns to paint themselves as “responsible”, while past harms faced by communities have remained unsolved.
