Continental Gold Launches Future Harvest Agricultural Program in Western Antioquia - Seite 2

Continental recently presented the Future Harvest agricultural development program in the Buriticá municipality with mayors from the four involved communities in the region as well as the public, private and educational entities supporting it. Comments from the mayors included:

Humberto Castaño, Mayor of Buriticá: "Through responsible, legal and organized mining, we can generate income to transform our land. With Future Harvest, on the day mining operations finish, we can guarantee that there will be sustainable economic activity in the municipality."

Margarita Lopera, Mayor of Cañasgordas: "We are sad that other municipalities in Colombia say NO to mining, because they have not seen what is happening in western Antioquia where there has been a great change. Getting to this point has not been easy but, thanks to public order and institutionalism, we are seeing results that benefit four municipalities."

Saulo Armando Rivera, Mayor of Santa Fe de Antioquia: "The mayors of the region are ready to form strategic alliances with Continental for their territories. There is going to be a lot of employment here and, as municipalities, we need to organize."

Wilmar Adrián Manco, Mayor of Giraldo: "It is beautiful to know that mining is considered an ally by farmers. Continental's Future Harvest is contributing to moving our farmers forward. We believe that this mining project will generate a lot of development."
