Patagonia Gold has maintained a strong awareness of its responsibilities towards the environment and existing social structures.
Careful attention is given to ensure that all exploration work is carried out strictly with the guidelines of the relevant mining and environmental acts, as well as to the high standards of responsibility the company imposes on itself.

Environmental impact studies were completed and submitted before the beginning of all the drilling campaigns conducted, from Cuya in Rio Negro in 2003 to Crespo and El Morro in 2005 including the Coyhaique project in Chile which was to a pre-feasibility level and those conducted in Chubut and Rio Negro in 2006.

The Provincial Mining Directorate’s agents together with representatives from the local communities have frequently inspected our exploration activities specifically when drilling and have expressed their satisfaction towards the responsible manner in which the company carries out its operations.

The company’s policy is to, wherever possible, to hire local personnel and use local contractors and suppliers. An Argentine public relations consultant often with Company personnel represents the company at meetings with local, provincial and federal government agencies.
Patagonia gold is a responsible exploration company and has strict internal guidelines in respect to dealing with not only environmental issues but landowners and local the inhabitants of areas under exploration.
