$NEWC has been approved by the National Mining Agency (ANM) for coal and other grantable minerals. In addition to coal, the company has vast amounts of rocks and other raw building materials on their green fields within their concession contract. Machines and workers are onsite doing roadwork and clearing for the start of Quarry operations. The mining and crushing equipment is available to be moved on site and begin processing within two weeks. Full mining operations are anticipated to begin in the near future with the issue of the final environmental permit approval, which is controlled by local authorities.
Company Director, Erasmo Almanza, said, "I am from this area and our mining operations have the support of local residents and businesses. Many of the area's workers and the local economy of the Guaduas region will benefit from our activities. We are committed to using local labor and service providers whenever possible."
