Small miners in southern Bolivar state are not closed to the possibility of selling the gold mined throughout your job to the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), but agree that a discussion be held to define a price that satisfies all parties , whereas in the gold-mining fronts-assure gram of gold is quoted in two thousand bolivars today.

The approach of the relaunch gold sector was made by the Minister of Petroleum and Mining Rafael Ramirez, who said that with the creation of the joint venture between the Central Bank of Venezuela and PDVSA aspire reduce smuggling and acquire the gold mined by miners according to the resulting rate of Complementary Currency Management System (Sicad).

The resulting rate auctions Sicad not known officially, but it is estimated between 11 and 12 per dollar, according to unofficial sources.

The vice president of the Central Union Minera del Sur, Thelmo Fajardo ruled completely salable metal extracted as "low" price. "A 12 bolivars will not compensate the worker, at that price minerito how does?" He said.

"We propose a discussion with the national government but it really seems to have great interests that prevent the problem of small-scale mining, work is not permisada way because we do not accept that term to be 'illegal' in our country, "he added.

South of Bolivar, he said, fronts and New Callao, Leaf and 'Can I and II, Km 88, La Lira, Turn Caras, Brawl, "all are active."

President of the Federation of Gold and Diamond Miners Bolivar state, Abelardo Diaz, meanwhile agreed that the gram of gold is worth more than the resulting rate Sicad and said that is located around the Bs 2000. He stressed that marketing is governed by the international price of the precious metal, which is currently trading above $ 1,200 a troy ounce.

With this value, the gram of gold is subject to Bs 461 Bs band Sicad 12, which is below the current price.

"I propose that the minister convene the association presidents to commit to sell gold and enforce the rules and respect the environment, should be a very large work table," he said.

For miners in southern BolĂ­var, the government must pay more attention not only to state gold industries operated by Minerven, but small-scale mining, after unsuccessful attempts to mining conversion, among other programs implemented by the Government during the administration of President Hugo Chavez.
