This emblematic case concerns the reopening of a mine in the city of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec (Canada). Falco Resources Ltd’s Horne 5 mining project aims to extract a polymetallic deposit whose primary economic value lies in gold. The project is located in the Notre-Dame neighborhood and beneath Glencore’s Horne Smelter, which, since its opening in 1927, has drastically polluted the air in Rouyn-Noranda. The Horne 5 project ranks among the most dangerous, unacceptable, and harmful mining projects in Quebec in recent decades. In addition to posing significant psychosocial risks, this project entails catastrophic dangers for public safety, socioeconomic stability, and environmental protection.

In the geopolitical imagination of the Caribbean, Haiti is often portrayed as a territory with an almost mythical mining potential. From the U.S. occupation of 1915 to contemporary debates about economic development, the narrative of a “country sitting on a gold mine” has been recurrent. However, the current reality is far from this fiction.
