In cooperation with the Wheelchair Foundation, Almaden helped sponsor the purchase of over 700 wheelchairs, which were distributed in Puebla, Veracruz, and Oaxaca States.

Almaden has held nine large-scale Community Information Meetings since 2012. Over 4,100 people attended from 35 invited communities.

Almaden trains and employs as many local people as possible. 70 people from 5 local communities have been employed on the project to date.

In March 2020, Almaden announced that it had partnered with a local community group focused on irrigation development, and together coordinated with the Federal Government water authority to co-fund a new water reservoir in Zacatepec.

Almaden has taken 500 community members on 19 tours of working mines, so local stakeholders can understand what a mine will mean to their community.

Almaden has helped improve health care in the community by purchasing an ultrasound machine for expecting mothers and other medical equipment.

The area of Almaden’s Ixtaca project was logged prior to Almaden’s arrival in 2001. Our reforestation projects provide an opportunity to encourage environmental renewal and engage local children in environmental summer camp activities.
