[GroundUp] We visited Concordia, where 29 people were arrested for protesting against a mine. : Conflict has erupted in Concordia, a small and rocky town of 5,000 people in the copper district of the Northern Cape. Copper 360, a JSE-listed mining company, has started mining in the town through its subsidiary Shirley Hayes-IPK (SHiP). Over the next few years, the company intends to extract thousands of tonnes of copper. This comes after Copper 360 announced a massive increase in its copper resources in the area.
