Environment

From the first days of exploration at the Cerro Negro site, the Company has worked diligently to implement industry-leading environmental practices and to build a team culture that is committed to the preservation of the environment. The Environmental Impact Study, which is required to obtain full mining permits, will be submitted to the Provincial Government during the coming year. The Company is confident that future mining operations will be in full compliance with the most stringent of international mining codes. Moving forward, the mining operation will be integrated with neighboring communities in a sustainable, responsible manner.
