Antioquia Gold Inc. has received the formal grant of an environmental license for the Guayabito Deposit in Resolution No. 131-0870-2016 of October 26, 2016. The Guaico and Guayabito deposits represent the integral resources of the company’s 100 percent owned Cisneros Project, located in Antioquia, Colombia.
The environmental license for Guayabito was granted in full, without conditions for the working life of the project and includes all phases of construction, assembly, operation, dismantling and closure as well as the operation of the mine and processing plant. This was the final permit required for construction and mining of the Cisneros Project. The environmental license for Guaico was received in 2015.
The environmental license was the product of a comprehensive environmental impact study (EIA) developed by a team of companies with wide national and international experience.
The development of the EIA included the creation of a base line of the physical, biological and social components of the direct and indirect areas of influence of the project, where potential environmental impacts were identified and environmental management measures were designed to prevent, mitigate and compensate said impacts. All the above was socialized with the authorities and communities of the project area.
“Congratulations to the Antioquia Gold team for this important achievement that allows the consolidation of our project in Colombia and the start of the construction phase of the Guayabito Mine. We continue to be committed to the region and the country in the development of a model project of responsible mining, that applies the highest environmental standards and that is developed in harmony with its surrounding communities,” said Felipe Ferraro, president, CEO and chairman of Antioquia Gold.
