MEDELLIN, Colombia, Oct. 22, 2021 /CNW/ - Mineros S.A.

Through ANLA Resolution 01858 of October 19, 2021, ANLA approved the Company's previously-submitted application to amend the Nechí Property environmental management plan, granting environmental permits sufficient to support planned operations within the 141.63 hectare area covered by the environmental management plan amendments.

During the last two months of 2021, Mineros plans to submit a new request to amend the Nechí Property environmental management plan to secure permits for the area covered by Stage 2, as shown in Figure 1. The permits for Stage 1.5 which were just received are consistent with what was contemplated as being required at this time under the current mineral reserve life of mine plan for the Nechí Property.
