RE:RE:Super ''Aris - Soto Norte project" 3 D presentation I like this part.......
"As operator, Aris Mining’s team is contributing its knowledge and experience and ensuring a respectful consultation process with the local stakeholders and is leading and advancing the drafting and submission of a new ESIA. Delimitation of the Pramo de Santurbn, a protected area of the Andes, was completed in June 2023 and supported by the four municipalities surrounding the Soto Norte Project. The delimitation was completed in alignment with local, regional, and national government, as well as local communities. The Company expects the Colombian Ministry of Environment to issue its final resolution of the delimitation in H2 2023.
Aris Mining is also evaluating opportunities to support rolling out a Small-Scale Miners Program at Soto Norte, based on the highly successful model developed at the Segovia Operations. The Company also expects to have its flagship partner-operated mining program in Soto Norte, with the Calimineros group, to start operations in Q1 2024. While the Soto Norte project progresses toward construction, the Company plans to process the material mined by Calimineros at the Segovia Operations’ Maria Dama processing plant.
Soto Norte will be a significant project for the local and regional communities, providing employment and skills training for up to 1,800 construction contractors and up to 940 full time operations employees, and a strategy to procure goods and services from the regional community.”
