Sustainability
We continue to work with our neighbors to develop long term sustainable development projects that will benefit the communities well past the end of mining at Pirquitas. We have contracted a number of local providers for services and they are performing well. Our relationship with the provincial and national governments continue in good stead, with the notable accomplishment during 2007 of the Government of Argentina selecting the Pirquitas site as the location for the annual Mining Day celebration. We consider the development of the Pirquitas project as a unique opportunity to springboard growth and development within the region. Approval of the Environmental Impact Statement update in mid-2007 recognizes the continual improvements we are making to our overall site Environmental Management Strategy.
