Colombia approves studies for Jericó copper project
AngloGold Ashanti statement (This was translated from Spanish by an automated system)
The Environmental Impact Study (EIA) of the copper mining project in Quebradona, Jericó, Antioquia, presented by AngloGold Ashanti to the National Environmental Licensing Authority ( ANLA ) already has the administrative act that formally initiates the environmental assessment that the entity must do to determine the viability or not of the project.
The decision indicates that AngloGold Ashanti fully delivered to the environmental authority all established requirements, including the attached documents.
Among these it is evident that among the places that the company identified during the years of studies in the territory, only Nuevo Chaquiro passed to an advanced phase of exploration. This means that the company has no interest in exploiting the titles that are part of the Cuchilla Jardín-Thames Integrated Management District.
The elaboration of the EIA presented by AngloGold was the result of a rigorous process that included more than 14 years of studies on the social, economic and environmental characteristics of Jericho, in which 27 expert consultants in geology, hydrology, ecology, among other specialties participated with thorough analysis. In addition, between November 2018 and September 2019, he had a profound exercise in listening to the concerns of more than 2,600 inhabitants of Jericho through 150 of the meetings promoted by the company, Talking, people understand each other.
“The territories today demand organizations that have the capacity to collectively build greater shared value, that encourage the creation of formal jobs, develop and hire local suppliers, help the regeneration of ecosystems, encourage the creation and strengthening of institutions. With this spirit, we want to demonstrate that the coexistence of mining with other economic sectors is possible, that, in a harmonious way, generate well-being and development for the municipality, Antioquia and Colombia, ”said AngloGold Ashanti Colombia president Felipe Márquez Robledo
What follows after the car?
According to background on projects similar to that of AngloGold Ashanti in Quebradona , the evaluation process carried out by ANLA will take as long as the authority has. Throughout this, the entity is likely to require additional documentation about the project.
