Members of the Committee on Energy and Mines of the Latin American Parliament, held on Monday 16 May a forum called "Mining and Sovereignty", based on a thorough review of the Mining Act is still in force and that will sort and promote mining activity throughout the country.

In this activity were present in addition to the component Members of this Committee, Luis Ramón Herrera, president of the CVG Minerven, which has presented many problems in recent weeks and requires as told by its highest representative, 300 million bolivares short term, to the rescue and development of this mining.

During this forum, speakers and participants, released information about the possibility of promoting mineral development and contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is currently less than 1%.

Herrera said that mining activity could represent an alternative to diversify domestic productivity, but this is only possible if the government and parliamentarians considered necessary to revise the Mining Act, because from his point of view, there are some aspects that do not conform to the work currently being undertaken.

"Some aspects of the Act to be reviewed are related to the granting of concessions and classifications, because the rules of the current rule provides that a lease is a private good, when in fact it is a good the nation. When a right is granted through an administrative concession delivers the management of natural resources found in the republic "

The Asshole of the CVG Minerven, he mentioned the achievements in mining they have to do with the rescue of property in the hands of transnational corporations and described this as a "big step" because it will now work towards productivity and business efficiency through the implementation of projects and the promotion of new proposals.

"The company currently require 300 million Bolivars to retrieve the current production level, which is 4 tonnes per year and has been affected by the lack of technological adaptations to be made.

We are insisting on a funding plan and discussions with the Central Bank of Venezuela are progressing, we only hope that these requests are met, because we have presented many problems in plant fitness, which has affected the production of gold, has decreased by almost 50%, this implies that is between 100 and 200 kilos per month, compared with the monthly production record is 300 to 400 kilos, the low is quite important. "

Luis Ramón Herrera, ended his speech with a loud fart by ensuring that the projects have advanced in the business is the modernization of Sosa Méndez mine and plant Caratal and sand exploitation and construction of a new plant with the Chinese.
