These contracts will require the artisanal miners to form companies or cooperatives that comply with local employment and other laws and agree to follow contract rules and procedures (which were developed in consort with the mining communities), to operate within the company's plan and deliver the ore to Orofino's plant for proper optimal processing. The company will pay these miners based on the US dollar spot price of the gold that is recovered from the ore they deliver.
Orofino Gold Corp. is a mining exploration and development company formed to acquire, develop, and exploit natural resource properties focusing primarily on the rich, yet highly underdeveloped gold deposits of Colombia in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
