There are a couple of different translations on this phrase.

Google translation from the AVN article I already posted:

The owner of Mibam, José Khan, explained that he has established a joint work plan to implement national mining policy in order to position it as a source alternative to oil revenue, which includes strategic alliances and activation of contracts operational.

Translation from Mibam site:

has established a joint work plan to implement national mining policy in order to position it as a source alternative to oil revenue, which includes strategic alliances and the activation of operating contracts."

I wonder how many operating contracts are out there other than our MOC?
