Irrigation Reservoirs are Complete
Our work with the local water users group at Zacatepec continues to literally bear fruit. Engineering, creativity, local knowledge, and corporate contributions can help unlock the tremendous potential of the area around the Ixtaca project. Imagine what could be unleashed with an operating mine!
Voices From Ixtacamaxtitlán
Almaden and its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Gorrión, have been engaging with communities local to the Ixtaca project for many years. We are fortunate that we enjoy the support of many of the people in the area, however sometimes they have a difficult time making their voices heard. This series of videos allows them to describe in their own words the reasons why they support the Ixtaca project."
Introduction to CSR at Ixtaca
Almaden has been consulting in one way, shape or form with local people at Ixtaca since 2001. This video gives a brief overview of our activities since the beginning.
Community Consultation
Accompanied by representatives of GMI Consulting, Almaden has recently been conducting formal consultations with people in the local communities. These consultations are an extension of our efforts to describe the project and solicit questions from local people.
The feedback from these meetings is crucial in the formation of our Social Investment Plan and will help frame aspects of project and related infrastructure design.
The two videos below show some of these consultations.
