Hace 15 años, los habitantes de la Sierra Sur comenzaron a preo­cuparse porque se enteraron de que el gobierno federal había otorgado varias concesiones en sus territorios.

Ahora saben que ese proyecto es impulsado por Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA), la siderúrgica más grade del país, que cuenta con concesiones mineras localizadas en el municipio zapoteco de Santa María Zaniza, y en la comunidad de Río Humo, perteneciente al municipio de Santiago Textitlán, con una reserva de 457 millones de toneladas de hierro, situación que la convierte en una de las más grandes del mundo.
