As a proud member of the community of San Antón de las Minas (where our project is located and home to 75% of our workers), the Company strives in promoting education, respect and preservation of the culture, customs and traditions of the local community with a special focus on self-sustainability and co-responsibility.

San Anton Resource Corporation is an active supporter of community – active integration, teamwork and involvement has always been a high priority in order to maintain an excellent relationship with the locals. Beyond our commitment to the highest standards of practice, San Anton is also involved in a number of social and economic activities – school support, road access, and recreation and sport – developed jointly with the local community aimed at improving their quality of life. We regularly invite the local community to participate in different cultural events, school activities, sports and festivities. The Company has organized First Aid, Safety and Environmental courses for all of our workers and any other members of the community that want to participate. In order to strengthen our ties with the community, we hold regular meetings to keep them informed on the progress and direction of the project.
