People who oppose mining activity indicate that this is what does the most harm to the environment, yet these negative comments are a result of lack of information and culture. For 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.
