On December 17th, 2012, Sulliden submitted its Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment to the MINEM as part of the permitting process for its
Shahuindo project. The ESIA was the result of over 18 months of
technical studies, including a comprehensive water management plan, the
feasibility study, archeological studies, flora and fauna studies, mine
closure planning, social baseline studies, and results from several
months of public consultations with local communities, which were
conducted by the DREM (Regional Direction of Energy and mines,
Cajamarca) on behalf of the MINEM. Following the approval of the public
consultation process, the MINEM scheduled the final public audience on
March 13, 2013, at the Shahuindo site.
