THE TRUTH OF MINERALS "LA NEGRA".
By: José Ramón Gastélum Rocha / José Alfredo Gastélum Rocha
H. Caborca , Son.- After one series of attacks media that could affect the good functioning , growth and development of thriving Mina San Felix of the company Minerales "La Negra", S. de RL de CV, which in the course of the week past was given to through the media national and state ; and knowing the importance that is of this company mining for the town of Caborca and the region , given the spill economic that generates, as well as the many jobs direct and indirect that without doubt make the tranquility economy of hundreds of caborquenses , is that we gave to the task of providing us with information regarding the case , to inform the community . For the effect we are looking directly to the partner founder of the company in question , responsible live in the present , Kenneth Azuka Izegbu of origin Nigerian , who on knowing our interest in the situation that crosses the San Felix mine, "was opened by layer " and demonstrating their concern for what considers are no more than attacks in his against, and that ( says ) he only has been dedicated to working in this mineral that although a step slow has been growing , bringing ( his effort of many years ) as a result more jobs for Caborca , in addition to support the community that is transformed into scholarships for students , aid economic to institutions like the Meritorious Cruz Roja El Poblado Plutarco Elias Calles (formerly Great "and" Greek ) Coast Agricultural of this city, area where is located the Mina San Felix de Minerales "La Negra"; permanent support for sports , among many other benefits for the Caborgo community , but at the same time it has awakened the ambition of some , as it happens given human nature . Is so that prior commitment to publish on our part all what he called " the truth " showed his full disposal and we gave the time that was necessary , responding with clarity to all and every one of our questions , making it the documents evidence of his said , provided copies of them as well as we ask , and even we moved to own
facilities of the mine, where we were left in complete freedom to take the photographs , videos and any evidence that we considered of importance , as well as to interview us and ask questions on any topic with all the staff who works in the mine without interfering absolutely in our work . From there a time collected and confirmed the information , the we capture for you kind reader with greater detail detected ; And although it could be very broad , it will also be interesting for them to know in depth the truth of the San Félix Mine. The "Boom" mining unleashed in the region has overflowed bad passions .- It 's a fact that all those who live in this desert , we know of the "boom" that has been unleashed in the last years in the sector mining and also know the bad passions that have overflowed thanks to the booming economic submitted by companies mining , and of course that San Felix, Minerals "La Negra", not could be the exception , reason for which you have been involved in alleged problems exist , so that we put in the balance of the community over and other versions of the parts inmiscuidas to take the chance that people will form their own judgment before the things going over there to where you do not need to go. Is a fact also that the ambitious economic is present in this event , because as narrate to then the plot of the birth , growth and development of Mina San Felix de Minerales "La Negra", S. de RL de CV, you , kind reader, it may be taking account of the changing way of acting of some characters following always "the smell of the money " no matter pass over to the right of who is, and who always will find " arguments " to give place and mature perverse plans that lead to trying to stop established projects affecting important foreign investments . The beginnings of Kenneth Azuka on mining in México.- As well, guiding us through our research journalism , he states that the Lord Kenneth Azuka Izegbu , Count profession , comes to this country from there in the year 1993, dabbling in some businesses in the Federal District on Imports and Exports , being in the year Two Thousand when it was established in this Heroica Caborca , Sonora, attracted by the possibility of entering a possible good business in the field of mining , starting activities with Mineral Santa Elena, where the business soon ends because in that place things were no longer given by nature to continue exploiting metals . In its passage by this activity , known to many people, authorities , owners of land , and different sectors social , initiating one relationship business with Mr. Leonardo Emilio Jaime Peña, to whom he entrusted the task of fixing the issue of Report to the instance corresponding the Mina San Felix to see if it is viable to detonate one project of exploitation in the mineral, which some already had been exploited since many years ago , even in the time of the Spaniards , as we commented some prospectors in the region that they have a generational and verbal history . Returning to the subject that interests us , Kenneth Azuka begins to collect funds , money , to Mr. Leonardo Jaime so that he can " denounce " those lands where the San Félix Mine is located , and after a series of events the situation finally arises to do this process before the Directorate General of Mines in Mexico City, but it is here where begins the story , as Mr. Leonardo Jaime, along with Dr. Leopoldo Felix Badilla " Polito ", financed by Kenneth Azuka Izegbu was launched to register said San Félix Mine, but betraying the good faith and trust placed by Kenneth in them , they forget their loyalty and carry out the process of registering the Mine, but they do so in their name , leaving the title in the name of Leonardo Emilio Jaime Peña and Leopoldo Felix, so that starting from here begin the negotiations in different way for the investor abroad Kenneth Azuka can acquire the rights to this title of Mina San Felix. He succeeded finally in November of 2006 , a healthy negotiation for parties and being totally in agreement Leonardo Jaime, Leopoldo Felix and Kenneth Azuka , perform the contract deprived of Purchase - Sale , signed by them and their respective wives , shaping the conditions in which They put in agreement , highlighting one cost total of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, surrendering Five Thousand Dollars to the signing of the Contract of Purchase and Sale and there it was handed the original of the title , cediéndose in this legal act all the rights to the title of Mina San Felix to the company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, agreeing plus payments every ninety days for part of the investor for Leonardo Jaime and Leopoldo Felix, same payments that were made with regularity until reaching the amount of Noventa and eight Thousand Dollars , as work on documents in power of the company acquirer , and more ahead we will know the reasons why they were suspended in how legal these pag you . They are recorded rights to mine for minerals The Negra.- One time they yield in their entirety the rights of the title of San Felix Mine for Minerals "La Negra", the company buyer comes to do the paperwork legal following to the Registry Public Mine in the Directorate General of Mines, dependent on the Ministry of Economy , to register the title to the new owner for and were assigned the rights in his behalf, sending the original of this title and copies duly certified by the Notary Public Lic . Jose Antonio Davila Payan to leave it on the record today work in that unit authorized for this procedure , so no no impediment any , in virtue that everything was in rule , such and as it points out the law in this matter , leaving the registration in sign of the Title of Mina San Felix in favor of the company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, in Act 14, Volume 21 of the Book of Acts with dated May 18, 2007, and the next step was getting to work on immediately . Of this form it is as it started the Herculean efforts in the field of battle of Mina San Felix property of the company Minerales "La Negra", located to the northwest of the municipality to which it moves Kenneth Azuka accompanied only two employees (or partners , as calls it himself ) starting the first work consisting in the construction of some wineries to install various equipment technicians that will come to be of utmost usefulness in the industrialization of the mineral, staying in those inhospitable places working to marches forced the investor and his two collaborators , for up to twelve weeks without " going down " to the city, only dedicated to the ambitious project , thinking only of developing and being able to fulfill the economic commitments agreed to exploit the mineral of the place , knowing that the task was not easy , thus giving a formal start to the true productive project that would bring so many benefits to the Municipality of Caborca . Achieve the first production of Mina.- In little time increases Square workers and two up to five , then to ten , twelve and fifteen achieving its first production on 7th July of 2007, date memorable for Kenneth Azuka and his and nourished group of collaborators who practically were married with the project of Mina San Felix, in which is invested everything , absolutely all capital and life of the investor . In that period , the employer miner seeks and finds one client to whom to sell the production obtained , appearing Mr. Charles McCombs, a businessman from the bouquet of jewelry in the United States of America who bought all the product extracted from the bowels of the mine San Felix, which in addition to the see the efforts and hardships that he bore Kenneth, on several occasions gave money in advance so that they could go ahead the work , obtaining always your payment with precious metals . Growth rational without putting in danger the media environment of the region .- The exploitation of the mineral continues to pace slow but enough to go to grow in the measure that the philosophy of the investor Kenneth Azuka dictates, because not have hurry to extract large volumes of mineral , but to preserve the project productive the greatest number of years possible , avoiding in this way one overexploitation irrational that could damage the region in time to help , and it is committed to co - exist with the municipality that is giving good deal , thinking that leads to share one part of their profits to the population, giving the date 38 scholarships for students of different levels , as well as support with wages for Cruz Roja , highlighting the support for food in the asylum of elderly Pbro . Luis Valencia and in the dining room of the Father Ferrer where all the day provides food to those there come ; aids in the area sports , etc. They get new investors to the project with Kennet Azuka .- However, his client Charles McCombs, invited two friends personal to be interested in the project and will invest equity along with it for growth Mine, appearing this time the Lords Juan Diego Morales Espinoza and Jorge Vega Orduño . A once seated the bases of common agreement with Kenneth Azuka , consistent in that the investment is not to be partners of the company , nor interfere in matters of production , appearance technical , and management , which are the exclusive domain of the owner Kenneth, winning the percentage that corresponds to them according to the invested , then they capture the agreement in a document and deliver the amount of 513 thousand 700 US dollars . In this section another guest of Charles also arrives , being Mr. Robert Hoag who, looking at the magnitude of the company, proposes to invest 800 thousand US dollars , submitting the proposal for consideration and agreeing that this amount be added to the first 513 thousand 700 dollars , always and when not to change the conditions original than agreed with Kenneth (not to be members ) not to meddle in the affairs of the mine in aspect technical of production and of management , and also will make two percentages , one of 60% for Kenneth and the rest of 40% for the three remaining investors Charles McCombs, Juan Diego Morales Espinoza and Robert Hoag, since the fourth investor Jorge Vega Orduño decides to retire and negotiates his exit as an investor , never as a partner. So the things , also Robert Hoag accepts the conditions and delivers 800 thousand dollars American to be invested in the Mina San Felix property of the company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, being agreed above in two separate and legal documents that they leave no room for doubt . In this way , the company follows its course normal growth and things are going all right, with its high and low own in any company in full activity , the production is holding and increases minimally as a result of injections capital received by investors , but not partners , and the upward line continues gradually . Kennet Azuka does not accept investors who do not have the same philosophy about the project .- With the passing of days , the investor and never Partner, Robert Hoag, says his teammates also investors , who knows of a group of people
They are willing to invest Five Millions of Dollars American in this project of Mina San Felix, which puts on alert to the owner Kenneth Azuka and gives to know his stance on the respect of not being necessary that investment , because its philosophy is to grow and coexist with the population caborquense long term , gradually, without haste , never explode in immediately ; However, Juan Diego itself was in agreement with the proposal of Robert Hoag, convincing finally Kenneth of doing it yourself , although this latter , the owner of the mine, demanding that respect the rules established originally , something that investors of the five million of dollars Americans are not agreed and finally never was finalized this investment , saving and the core of the project to take it slowly, insisting Kenneth on the need to coexist with caborquenses sharing one important part of the profits among the population different channels , what Robert Hoag, possibly blinded by the ambition of the money , always manifested "Why do I have to give part of my money to pinches Mexicans ? .." and expressions for the style , as we could ascertain with several witnesses they heard on repeated occasions words of this kind . In spite of everything , Kenneth Azuka , as leader of the project he safeguarded their responsibility to find the balance with investors of the company and things continued as and as they were , coexisting in harmony with the municipality of Caborca . Greed or inexperience , the origin of conflicts with investors .- A time that has not managed the investment of five million of dollars Americans, who surely come to detonate precipitously the production and raise , of course is , the profits of so exorbitant with the consequences themselves of it , then the greed or perhaps inexperience of Robert Hoag what orillan to make decisions wrong , breaking the foundations agreed to autonomy for Kenneth, who brought as a result one series of irregularities that bother seriously to the owner . Robert begins to bring machinery that is not required , in addition to being obsolete or in poor condition , on his own , and the most delicate thing , he acquires it on credit and in the name of the company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, without being authorized to do so , as well as they had been established from the outset, breaking the pacts signed without caring anything. More still , Robert takes the liberty of bringing a person without consulting with anyone , to accelerate the processes of production , violating one once more the pact Original signed . Then , to the see the negative behavior of Robert Hoag, enters into action the investor Charles McCombs and demands that respect the covenant of autonomy for Kenneth Azuka , doing the same with Juan Diego Morales Espinoza. Robert assures that the person he brought knows about the job and that with a more aggressive treatment of the soil then they will have much more profit , to which in an act of good faith and will , Kenneth agrees to let them do the experiment , of which he is completely sure to be one failure , but to not have more discussions accessed, so put hands to the work of Robert and his imported friend, getting catastrophic results , which translate into "Zero production " during one period six weeks , going on one chaos the company and the costs of operating weekly at these heights are several million pesos Mexicans , and the results were not made to wait . Thanks to the good faith of Kennet and the " errors " of investors , create the chaos and leave to Kennet in crisis and the point of bankruptcy .- Then will come together to talk again and Robert Hoag says that he likes very much to be in the mine , vowing not to return to commit errors as above, accessing then the owner to the investor and not partner Robert (Bob), will remain in the mine and then charge only of the department of screening and crushing . Past few days , Robert returns to the own , it goes and brings one crusher city of Tucson, Arizona, which is not compatible with the equipment you already have , claiming that cost 300 thou dollars , causing in this way one chaos , paralyzing the production one once more by other six weeks , being already twelve weeks in full without producing a single gram of metal thanks to the " errors " of Robert Hoag. But finally Kenneth discovers that there were " errors " committed , but more rather a strategy previously planned by Diego and Robert to take control of 60% of investment and stay with the management of the company , although it is agreed that are not partners , as only investors and autonomy is total for Kenneth, such and as it plasmaron and signed in one document . It is when Juan Diego Morales Espinoza, Robert Hoag and his friend leave the mine in the month of September of 2009 and not again heard from them , so Kenneth has to face alone the situation with a load financial above , from which, after many sacrifices , he comes out unscathed from the big losses stemming from the folly and avaricious strategy implemented by Robert and Diego to simply stop in the street to Kenneth Azuka , to which finally not able to make it hurt , because everything was properly well I talked and reflected in legal documents . The project continues forward with all and pressures to do " thundering " .- A failure to achieve their perverse plans, as either Robert and Diego Morales could convince Charles McCombs that they are Sumara , and that he appreciated the good faith and iron will Kenneth, then sought other resources to annoy to the owner of the company Minerales "La Negra" in such a way that were with those to whom Robert they had asked to credit the machinery obsolete and unnecessary , to put pressure on Kenneth Azuka and feed well the possibility of finishing with him and then stay with the mine, which do not give results , because under this great pressure , Kenneth redoubled efforts and back of three months approximately , increased the production significantly , giving the opportunity to the company to go ahead with commitments . To date , these two investors not you have given the face of the company , acotándose only to find ways to annoy , without achieving to the company , implementing medium strategies for damage to the owner Kenneth Azuka , and try to get him out of the country for being abroad , but account with your permission corresponding what guarantees free transit in the length and breadth of the territory Mexican . We also have tried to damage the company accusing him before the authorities of the Semarnat to be polluting hectares of land in the mine, as well as to the Sedena not have the permissions necessary to explosives that are used in the Mina San Felix, but not have achieved him any harm , because really the company has with all this in order , such and as we note on tour and had before it the permits extended by the authorities in references for Minerals "La Negra" in quality of owner of Mina Saint Felix. Not find the means legal to nag at Kennet and opt for influence on the mood of the population and the authorities with a campaign media .- After not finding echoes in the authorities relevant , any time that as we confirm , is everything in rule , to last dates of way media in newspapers of circulation national and portals Internet, give know a bad information , without endorsement , speaking of investments that range in NINE MILLION AMERICANS and Kenneth the fraudeó , just looking for other ways and which by the way legal there is nothing to complain , everything is in order . In addition to resort to acts as current as use the masters Leonardo Emilio Jaime Peña and Dr. Leopoldo Felix Badilla , who sold to Minerals "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, by one Contract of Purchase and Sale the title of Concession Mine San Felix, to make a ' war dirty " in against the company and its owner Kenneth Azuka and see if in this way you can take what rightfully belongs , something that has not prospered , and it is legally framed its activity . Continuing with interesting research journalism , let 's look at something said in the portal MILLENNIUM, and you can see with tranquility one by one lies in that have been committing these characters with the support of Leonardo Jaime and Leopoldo Felix, who strangely has been lent to the evil game . Inspections of Semarnat , Profepa ; complaints of all kinds in his against, and Mina San Felix continues forward , every time it proves operate within the established in the laws of matter .- In this period of the month of September of 2009, date in which Robert Hoag and Diego Morales they leave the San Félix Mine; To date, Mina San Félix has had six inspections by SEMARNAT and PROFEPA, derived from the complaints filed by Leopoldo Félix and Leonardo Jaime, in collusion with Robert Hoag and Juan Diego Morales Espinoza, same visits in which these authorities have not found a single irregularity , so the same units , after performing his work , came the moment in which they had to say to these people and sprucing up their " business personal " with the company and who did not were doing spending funds from the public on things that they do not exist , as the inspections carried out by them at Mina San Félix are documented and the law is being followed to the letter . Then , these gentlemen , continuing with the strategy of Diego Morales and Robert Hoag, sought another way to annoy to the current owner of the Mina San Felix, going to the Ministry of Defense to bring one complaint in against Kenneth Azuka for supposedly not had the permissions to use explosives in that place , to which the Secretary of National Defense responded to the complaint one, two, three , four and five times , appearing at the facilities of Mina San Félix owned by the companies Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, not finding irregularities so they lifted the documentation related and were reported to these people that everything was in order and try to fix their problems personal in the courts corresponding receiving and the gentlemen a new setback . Then they went to the Agent of the Ministry Public Federal who gave the task of inspecting the place and not to find anything out of place , simply dismissed the complaint and they informed the complainants of the result positive that was obtained without major problem for the company owner of the mine. Later he returned to the charge with the Representative Social Federal accusing Kenneth Azuka ROBO THE NATION, fraud, falsifying documents, SPOIL AND THE RESULTING, and the Agent of the Ministry Public Federal confirmed the lack of elements of proof and also non having jurisdiction for the case and sent to the Agent of the Ministry Public of the Charter Common , which also investigated and came to the conclusion that there is no element of evidence to the respect , although he acknowledged having received the instruction to enter the case to the Court Criminal with or without elements ,so that the Court of Criminal Caborca to the non - find items of evidence either for the crime of fraud , which assures Leonardo Jaime and Felix Leopoldo Kenneth fraudeó to the Directorate General of Mines by the registration of the title of
Granting of Mina San Felix, but no there was nothing that , and that they will sold this concession to Minerals "La Negra". However, with attachment to the law, the Agent of the Ministry Public of the Charter Common , appealed the ruling of the judge and went to the judges who overturned the ruling of the Judge Penal without my lawyer any connoisseur of the subject is to explain the why of this rare revocation , being so it was turned over to a District Court in the city of Nogales, Sonora, where it is to date and it will be there where the final resolution is given . Cancel the registration of sale of the mine in the Registry National Minas.- Along with these actions , the Lords Leonardo Leopoldo Jaime and Felix request to the Registry National Mines a duplicate of his title of concession of Mina San Felix, They are arguing that wandered the original, but get as answer that it is not possible and that there is the inscription on the sale that made of this Title of Concession of Mina San Felix, the company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, so they can not grant what was requested . More later I try again and manage the Registry Nacional de Minas cancel the registration of the contract of purchase - sale for Minerals La Negra, so that does not mean they do not have sold the concession , because there the Contract of Purchase and Sale and nothing it has to do one thing with the other , since the concession is legally sold . Try one new negotiations with Kenneth before a possible emergency economic .- It is as well as Leopoldo Felix and Leonardo Jaime seek one approach with Kenneth Azuka , as Leonardo says Jaime has a serious problem of health with his wife and requires the money to attend to clinically , and propose to cancel all what they have done coming to the agreement that Kenneth Azuka will deliver a check for the amount 100 thousand dollars American, the same that will be charged in local bank in terms Leopoldo and Leonardo restore the registration in the Register National de Minas there in Mexico City, which can take a period of two to three days , and thus collect in a very short time the money to get out of the difficult trance that afflicts Mr. Leonardo Jaime. This pact it made on paper with lyrics made by hand and signed by the party interested in virtue of being a day unfit for personnel administration , being committed besides that another day I plasmarán with writing on computer and so more formally. But far to comply with agreed , with all the bad faith attempt to change the check to the brevity , that is to say to the other day , but in the institution Banking will say that at large of amount have to confirm the payment with the client girador of the check, which stops the negotiations because it was not so I agreed , but until we restore the registration of the title of concession in Mexico. In one act of good faith , Kenneth deposited the money in the court to be delivered to Leopoldo and Leonardo one time have fulfilled the agreed .- Then the company owner of the title of concession , tries by all the means to locate Leopoldo Felix and Leonardo Jaime to formalize the document signed a few days before, without positive results , which puts Kenneth on alert and decides to send a letter to the Bank informing that the check has been canceled and that for no reason is it paid ; but on the other hand , in one act of will and good faith , making the healthy decision to deposit 100 thousand dollars American in the Court Civil of this city with the recommendation that they give the gentlemen in mention one time that comply with the pact to cancel what they had done and restore the Registration in the Register Nacional de Minas for the company Minerales "La Negra". But Leonardo and Leopoldo kept trying to change the check until the institution is the collected , and on hearing that he had deposited in the court , were pressuring the court to give them hand over the money , ensuring that yes you were going to meet Kenneth until the same authority suggested to Kenneth that better withdraw the money from the court because they felt bad faith of the lords , but Kenneth insisted that there follow the money deposited in the court to weigh that were hundred thou dollars practically " dead " without producing or a dime of interest ; until a long time after I retired because not seen the minor intention of Leonardo Jaime and Felix Leopoldo restore the Registration in the Register Nacional de Minas, such and as it had agreed . We personally verify the ecological and environmental truth of the mine.- By virtue of knowing the aforementioned events , and as part of the journalistic ethics of verifying the sayings , we undertook the task of visiting the San Félix Mine, to really know the true situation that keeps that place and regarding the media complaint that was made , that they are contaminating 50% of the 600 hectares that they have for rent with the Juan Escutia Ejido - to which they are certainly not owed a single peso of income - because we were able to note that there exists a single centimeter square of pollution , such and as you may see also in the pictures that yes they are real and belong to the Mina San Felix, not like that appears in the complaint of Millennium that belongs to a Mina far to this country . It was in the same mine, talked with Ing. Carlos Merino, Ecologist , Master in Sciences , in charge of security in the ecology and a half environment , about the work they perform permanently in the land of Mina San Felix to avoid damage ecological irreversible , and we said that has not been caused damage in that place , and they have a program of relocation of cactuses duly authorized by SEMARNAT, in addition to using other techniques also authorized by the agency , as the cut the tips of sahuaros very large and transplanted , achieving thus have a single cactus, up to 6 or seven , depending on the points they have . But you have to relocate , only relocated caring always some factors such as the orientation of the sun, the wind , among others , to achieve survival and that can not be relocated where it is, having relocated to date 168 plants among saguaros , etchos ( cardón ) and Pitahaya. The other technique of cutting the tips are used in virtue that not all the trees are viable to relocate by factors that must be conjugated , and that it authorizes the Semarnat , we talked . And boy, Engineer Carlos Merino knows what he is talking about , since he was an inspector for Profepa for 25 years . So it have a profesionista Geologist Environmental and Arquitecta Environmental, taking care this last of care for the environment so that in one future all over again to be the same , except for the changes logic derived from the work done , as one hill amorphous that then it will be a hill with design , but the flora and fauna are to safeguard , without suffering impairment . We were able to hear from knowledgeable voice on the subject , which already by nature , this place is a field gradient is saying is more stone than earth, being one of the reasons why there is little vegetation , in addition to the climate that is extremoso , but then , thanks to the care and interest of the company and the authorities , will being better the ground , it will reforesting the works that are not used at the time they are doing terraces in the hills surrounding so that they stop the water and there are more living plant and animal, which we demonstrated that they are a company with responsibility . Above all take care exclusively the type of species that there exist , because if you bring in other plants then yes it unbalances the media environment , in virtue of the plants of the same environment will recognize each other and care for their development and growth among them , and if they put of another type , then they are not recognized and spread causing this imbalance in the flora. The process of the mine, from the exploration in hills to the smelter in laboratory .- walked by the area of leaching with cyanide (which is the point of greatest risk in all the process by the use of the cyanide ) checking that although the law will requires use " Lainer " ( polymer of plastic used in the bottom of the lumps of ore) of three millimeters in thickness , in Mina San Felix use of eight millimeters with a life useful for five hundred years , which ensures that no cause absolutely no damage nothing and nobody . And if outside little have the safety overrun , highlighting some of utmost importance as is the control of pH ( degree of acidity and / or alkalinity ) that are subject to reviews every hour for a security further . Informing also that the water of the place is of much help because has a pH above 7, which prevents it could happen any contingency . We gave account for that at all points of the process , they have exceeded the standards required by the authorities of the matter . No was certainly the work carried out at the place of facts about of Exploration , Drilling , Blasting , Acarreos of materials , Leaching in bundles or beds of the material, the passage of the mixture of cyanide with metals precious to piles of value, work on the Prensa , Foundry , equipped with standards of safety very by above the stipulated by the authorities , in addition to the work of planning , architecture , environmental , geology , environment , ecology ; addition of a once extracted the metals precious the mixture of the cyanide , the same is sent to another stack called "low value" to be recycled to the used again in the process of leaching on the packages or beds of material. Of course the area of mechanics , bedrooms , dining rooms , equipped with the service of first quality for the benefit of those who are in the Mina San Felix with the mission of producing materials of high quality , creating value for their investors , and opportunities for development of its workers and society ; position and work as a socially responsible company . The company has one Vision and Mission clear and well defined .- His vision is clear , because this company Minerales "La Negra" S. de RL de CV, has with large reserves of minerals to ensure the sustainability and growth in the long term and is committed to the development of its staff and respect for the environment . A VISION and a MISSION well defined and already put into practice . The company spills around 20 million pesos a month in the municipality , apart from staff salaries.- Digging a little deeper into this important issue for the entire population of Caborca , we were able to determine the magnitude of the great economic spill of this company within of the municipality ,what we speak of spilled economic monthly in the range of 20 million pesos approximately in the different areas as purchasing of supplies , groceries, tires , bearings of different types , being of utmost importance
for the region in these times so difficult that in overall crosses the country and particularly Caborca , resulting inconceivable that arise problems exist in around a power generator of jobs and putting in motion the gear economic premises. In addition to the approximately 20 million pesos of spills in the municipality , the add salaries of around 250 people who are working in the mine, which gives tranquility to their families , may well talk about it easily from there depend more on a thousand people. The dispute is internal among the members of the Ejido Juan Escutia .- We gave the task within the work of research journalism that come developing , to delve into the matter of the members of the Ejido "Juan Escutia " land where it is located Mina San Felix, as one group of them try to destabilize the good running and operation of the mine serving to interests narrow and dark ; gathering information important , in virtue that there are two groups , one of them headed by Mr. Artemio Monroy and makes about ten years old , approximately , sold 28 thousand hectares of land to a lawyer of the capital of the State in the derisory amount of FORTY pesos per hectare , and as we reported knowledgeable of the case , the money obtained by the sale at that time was distributed among the partners who were present , leaving from outside to other few who do not were here and they had to get out of the country to find work for their support , and now they returned demanding their part , but because no was possible and do not touch anything. So they decided they would with the rest of the field that group that returned led by Mr. Gabriel Valenzuela, facing now to the group of Artemio Monroy, then also want part but because they have sold the largest amount of land . As we can see there is a problem internal and under that argument intended to involve the company that nothing has to see in it , and that its Contract of Lease of 600 Hectares held with the Ejido "Juan Escutia " has been complying to the foot of the letter . It is possible that these gentlemen of the agro make one parenthesis in their lives and reflect about for the damage they could cause to the region in case of continuing their disputes that may affect in first instance the 250 jobs that the date generated Mina San Felix and would serious repercussions on the regional economy , potentially unleashing catastrophic situations of great magnitude . After our journalistic investigation born by the environment that has been created in this company , we can determine some conclusions , to say : FIRST: - THAT THE SAN FÉLIX MINE IS PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY MINERALES "LA NEGRA" S. DE RL DE CV, REPRESENTED BY BUSINESSMAN KENNETH AZUKA IZEGBU. SECOND: - THAT THE MR. LEONARDO EMILIO JAIME PEÑA AND LEOPOLDO FÉLIX BADILLA ARE BEING PERVERSELY MANIPULATED BY THE INVESTORS ROBERTO HOAG AND JUAN DIEGO MORALES ESPINOZA, WHO LOST THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THEIR AVARICIA AND THEIR AMBITIOUS KNOWLEDGE KEEPING THEIR KINGDOM KEEPING HIS WANTED BY KEVARICIA AND HIS AMBITIOUS KINGDOM AZUEDI. WITH THE EFFORT, WORK, SACRIFICE, AND THE LIFE OF A MAN WHO HAS HIS EVERYTHING IN THE SAN FÉLIX MINE. AS WELL AS ALSO, THROUGH THE PARTNERS OF THE “JUAN ESCUTIA” EJIDO OF THIS MUNICIPALITY. THIRD: - KENETTH AZUKA IZEGBU IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE A MILLIMETER IN HIS DEFENSE SINCE HE IS TOTALLY SURE THAT HE IS RIGHT. THEREFORE, IT WILL CONTINUE TO CO-EXIST WITH THE CABORCA COMMUNITY WITHOUT LEAVING COMMUNITY SUPPORTS, SUCH AS SUPPORTING THE RED CROSS BASE IN THE GREAT “Y” GREEK, PROVIDING THE RESOURCES FOR THE FOOD OF THE PRBRO ELDERLY ASYLUM. LUIS VALENCIA AND PADRE FERRE'S DINING ROOM, SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS, SPORTS, ETC., AND ON THE CONTRARY, MANY MORE ARE PROJECTED FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE MUNICIPALITY AND THE REGION. FOURTH: - WITH FIRMNESS, THOSE OF US GIVEN TO THE TASK OF CARRYING OUT THIS DEEP JOURNALISTIC WORK, AFTER HAVING SEEN THE PROBATORY DOCUMENTS, FORMALLY INVITED ROBERT HOAG AND JUAN DIEGO MORALES ESPINOERTO, WHAT IF IT IS MONEY? HIRE A LAWYER TO DEFEND THEM IN THIS CASE, WHO INVEST A FEW MEXICAN PESOS IN MAKING SIMPLE PHOTOSTATIC COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE TO HAVE INVERTED THE NINE MILLION DOLLARS THAT THEY ENSURE THEY HAVE DONE THEM ON THE PORT, AND MANIFEST THEM ON THE PORT. OFFICES OF GASTÉLUM EDITORES IN CALLE 1RA. NUMBER 58 EAST OF H. CABORCA, SONORA, AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO HAVE KENNETH AZUKA IZEGBU IN OUR OFFICES SO THAT I WILL RETURN THOSE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF WHICH YOU TALK TO YOU. FIFTH: - THAT THE ASSESSMENT THAT IS BEING MADE ABOUT THE POLLUTION OF 50% OF THE 600 HECTARES RENTED TO THE JUAN ESCUTIA EJIDO IS FALSE, SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY IT. AS WELL AS IT IS ALSO FALSE THAT THERE ARE NO PERMISSIONS FOR THE USE OF EXPLOSIVES, BECAUSE WE HAVE THEM IN VIEW TOO. THE USE OF CYANIDE IS CARRIED OUT WITH METHODS AUTHORIZED BY THE AUTHORITIES AND HAVE HIGH SAFETY INDICES, WHICH PROVES THE NULL POSSIBILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCY, AND TO DATE ANY ACCIDENT HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN THIS REGARD. SIXTH: - THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT IN THE COMPANY IS HEALTHY, AS WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY FROM THE VOICE OF THE WORKERS, THAT THEY TOLD US THAT WE HAVE ALL THE LAW BENEFITS AND HAVE WAGES VERY ABOVE THE MINIMUM AREAS THAT GOVERN THIS , ASSURING THAT THEY WILL DO THEIR OWN TO SAVE THE COMPANY WHERE IT IS NECESSARY TO DO IT. SEVENTH: - CASES ARE DOCUMENTED IN WHICH THIS MINING BUSINESSMAN HAS INTERVENED WITH SUCH GOOD RESULTS OF SAVING LIVES, DEMONSTRATING A HUMAN AND SOCIAL SENSITIVITY, SO SCARED TODAY, THAT IT MAKES US THINK ABOUT THAT CAPACITY THAT KENNETH AZRUES POSSESSES FOREIGN PROBLEMS. "IN THE SAN FÉLIX MINE, YES THERE IS A HUMAN SIDE", A SATISFIED EMPLOYEE COMMEMED TO US. EIGHTH: - ONE MORE CONCLUSION, WITHOUT DOUBT, IS THAT THE PARTNERS OF THE “JUAN ESCUTIA” EJIDO HAVE THEIR INTERNAL DISPUTES AND IT IS UNETHICAL FOR THEM TO TRY TO INVOLVE THIRD PARTIES IN THEM; ON THE CONTRARY, WITH CIVILITY AND HONESTY, IT IS PRECISE AND WISHES THAT THEY WILL SOON BE ABLE TO FIX THEIR DIFFERENCES SO NOT TO PUT HIGH INVESTMENTS AT RISK AND LESS THAN WITH THAT ACTION THEY WILL SAVE MORE POSSIBLE FOREIGN INVESTMENTS THAT THEY WISH TO COME INTO THE FOLLOWING PLACE. NINTH: - THAT IT IS INCOMPRISIBLE THAT LEONARDO JAIME AND LEOPOLDO FÉLIX, ARE OWNERS OF THE CONCESSION TITLE OF THE SAN FÉLIX MINE, WHEN THEY ARE DEMANDING THE NULLITY OF THE PRIVATE PURCHASE CONTRACT - SALE IN FAVOR OF MINERALS; AND, TENTH: - IT IS ALSO INCOMPRESSIBLE THAT THE DEMANDING INVESTORS INDICATE IN THE MILLENNIUM ARTICLE THAT NINE MILLION DOLLARS WERE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HIRE A LAWYER.
