This year already is anticipated to take to eight tons the gold production that in 2008 was of 4.25 tons, while it has the reactivation two airports of the zone, Guasipati and Tumeremo, practically left.

In Guasipati, it stated Latin Press recently, the track is used for unexpected parties of baseball by the children of the zone, while in the environs they graze animal, with the consequent danger for small planes that land sporadically.

This panorama is inconsistent with the plans of growth of the company that hopes to produce 40 tons of gold for 2013 with an expansion program that includes foreign investors and technical cooperation with countries like Cuba.

The plans include to take to the Caratal plant of a capacity of processing of 700 tons up to thousand 200 tons of primary material and the Peru plant of 450 tons to 750 tons daily.

The perspective is to install in both facilities activated charcoal modules to reclaim gold - already used in the plant Revemin- replacing the precipitator method with zinc, less productive and harmful to the atmosphere.

Also one projects to extend the mine Méndez Soda, of 300 meters of depth up to 500 or 600 meters and to communicate his level six with the Colombia mine, with endorsement of an agreement signed with Cuba in last August to identify auriferous reserves.

To previous projects, like the Russian incorporation in the operation, the alliances with African countries signed in II the Suramérica-Africa Summit are added now, realised in August in Island Daisy, Venezuela.

According to it advanced in that meeting the president of the country, Hugo Chavez, is expected the participation of South Africa, with vast experience in mining that produces more than 200 tons of gold to the year and one of world-wide the producing diamond majors.

The general projection is to consolidate the operation of deposits like the Cristinas and Brisas of the Cuyuni and to initiate the operation in the Pebble, auriferous traditional center, like in other zones of the state Bolivar.

The potentiality of the region, still without identifying totally, is enormous.

Only the Cristinas, the greater gold deposit in Latin America, has considering of 32 million ounces, although according to experts it can in fact be until twice more.

The process of expansion of the production goes accompanied of projects of social improvements for the region, located in the Venezuelan state Bolivar, context in which the reactivation of airports is included both.

Aldrin Towers, head of Public Relations of CVG Minerven, affirms that the company is conscientious of the protagónica participation of the communities, next to governmental beings and the company deprived in the process.

It stops to it Towers, mentioned by the regional press, advanced that one works in the preparation of tables of work with participation of governmental organizations, regional and prevailed, to elaborate a plan of development of the axis Guasipati-Kilometer 88.

It needed that the plan was oriented by the president of CVG Minerven, engineer Luis Herrera, conscious of the necessity to guarantee a sustainable development of the zone.

The objective is to lift the city-planning capacity of the Roscio municipalities, Callao and Sifontes, with extension of the services, lodging and the improvement of the communications.

The work tables that propose company CVG Minerven will have to determine whichever houses and hospitals are required, as wagon they must be extended and whichever municipal and terminal markets of passengers are necessary.

Also it is anticipated to study the possibilities of tourist operation of the zone, door towards the magician Great Savannah where there is Salto Angel, the waterfall major of the world and tepuyes, formation geologic very particular of the region.

The possibility of granting of new auriferous zones includes, according to the forecasts, to the small mining, in conditions of greater industrialization, beyond the archaic and polluting processes used by this sector.

According to the experts of CVG Minerven, it entails the establishment of a plan of technical attendance that allows them to be inserted in the anticipated mining development.

The strategy looks for to revert the difficult conditions of life in the region, result of the scheme centered in the search of gains of the transnational companies in whose hands it was the operation of the auriferous wealth.

According to Towers, the work tables will make possible an extraordinary improvement to the auriferous municipalities, on the base of a viable development, that considers the environment and the health and life of traditionally forgotten miners gold.
