Another real interesting excerpt, within the published report, gives indication that the government is wanting, and willing, to do whatever it takes to aid the success of Affinity Gold's project in order to grow and maintain the economic health of the region.

23.0 OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION

Revisions to the existing plant can be carried out during the Mobilization and Construction period in 2010. The purpose of re-commissioning the plant is to be able to process gravels for testing and sampling of gravels in the indicated and inferred zones such that more reserves can be proven. The Trans Oceanic Highway is nearing completion and when it is complete there will be many pieces of equipment available in the area as well as manpower. Currently it is said that there are about 90,000 men and women working on the last legs of the Highway, and when complete many experienced machine operators will be close at hand giving confidence in the future mining plan. The Peruvian Government is extending the electric power grid in the area. Some poles are already located near the site. Electricity would replace the diesel fuel used for pumps and generators and site lighting. The supply of hydro electricity will certainly enhance the future of the mining project as diesel fuel is the largest expense in the current mining program.

Squatters have been shut down due to the lack of Mining and Environmental Permits. Local Governments are interested in mining as a source of employment for their people and a tax base for the communities. There have been informal discussions suggesting that Affinity Gold annex some of these properties and fold them into the Permitted land and start other mining operations to stimulate the economy of the area.
