Just a month ago:
"We have one thought that we would like to share with you, as Carlos Salazar says: “There may be many Richard Fifers in the world some dedicate their life to doing bad things and some others to do good… you are not guilty of which is carried out by another that bears your same name. We are not able to copyright our names or avoid that someone else has our same name. How many John Smiths are there in this world? “.
A fact about Richard Fifer is that he is a credible and responsible person because we can compare things that the government has not done to things Richard Fifer has done in a short time. We can say that he is a man with a vision and capacity, and the proof is the interest shown by large companies to invest in his projects and ideas.
Richard Fifer really knows what he’s doing…
Carlos Salazar specilized in the mining industry and an educator, has called Richard Fifer: “The father of the modern mining industry”. He introduced the new models of the modern mining industry with the best and friendliest technology for the environment and with a high level of safety.
Richard Fifer besides being a visionary, a geologist and a scientist, was the governor of the Province of Cocle. Some of the projects that Richard Fifer has besides Petarcilla, is “La Castilla de Oro” a project whose purpose is to remodel some of the houses in the villages to hostels of 6 rooms so that the owner can managing them for profit in Cocle, Veraguas, Herrera, en la Villa de Los Santos, Nata, San Francisco de la Montaña, Parita, Las Tablas to get more touris, from Spain, Europe, South America and tourist that are looking to learn about our culture and know more about these rural areas.
People who oppose mining activity indicate that this is what does the most harm to the environment, yet these negative comments are a direct result of lack of information and culture. In not providing the right information, people do not have a good overview of the mining industry.
We can say that Richard Fifer looks for the best geologist to work with; we can mention Ariadne Holmes that right now is in Canada, Carlos Carrasco, Luis Perez Monetengro, Ana Mendez and some other specialists that form a group of study for their projects. Richard really knows what he’s doing.
Richard Fifer is a man that worries about his community. He has been working with environmentalist to try to help out in danger life. Most of his works has been in the provinces of North Cocle and Western Colon; his gold mines provide a lot of job for the people in those provinces of Panama.
Richard Fifer is a true Panamanian, a true patriot, with a kind heart. He beliefs in his country and will give it all for it. Is a visionary person that is trying to improve the world we live in.
All of the promises made of our Panamanian Government to the people and citizens were never accomplish. But in other hand Richard Fifer has been helping the community of Colon, Cocle and small villages of those provinces, for years and will still help them for many years to come. He has help to create roads, homes, even provide jobs for those in needs."
