The environmental permitting process for the 
original Arqueros project has been completed, 
with approval to commence construction and 
mining granted by the Chilean authorities.  
A modification of the environmental assessment 
is being prepared to have the approvals modified 
for heap leaching and on-site power generation. 
Extensive community consultation has been 
undertaken with positive outcomes, and rela -
tionships with indigenous rural and urban 
communities remain a priority.
