Ms. Sonsoles García, Minister of Production,
Foreign Trade, Investment and Fisheries,
commented, “We value this initiative of Solaris because it
strengthens positive community relations and provides for the
integration of the local population in productive and sustainable
activities. This allows the inclusion of a traditionally displaced
population, which is a priority for us. It is also aligned with the
priority we have as a National Government of territorial
development and good use and management of resources.”
Mr. Daniel Earle, President & CEO,
commented, “The signing of this updated IBA builds on the
foundation of good faith dialogue and trust that led to the
formation of a Strategic Alliance partnership with our host
communities and original IBA in 2020. This marks a significant
milestone in the social advancement of the Warintza Project through
our pioneering Participatory Mining model for sustainable resource
development.”
Mr. Agustin Kayuk, leader of the Shuar Warints
Center and member of the Board of Directors of the Strategic
Alliance, commented, “The signing of this updated IBA strengthens
the working relationship with Solaris and brings greater
opportunities for the development of our communities. The decision
is supported by a permanent relationship with the Company based on
mutual respect and transparent dialogue, as well as a history of
positive impacts generated for our people. We look forward to
continuing our relationship and playing an integral role in the
advancement of the Project.”
Mr. Vicente Froilan Juank, leader of the Shuar
Yawi Center and also a member of the Board of Directors of the
Strategic Alliance, commented, “The updated IBA brings further
support and new opportunities for our people. When Warintza
advances, our communities advance with it. Since the signing of the
inaugural IBA in 2020, and with the help of the Ecuadorian state,
the local impacts in job creation, community infrastructure, and
development of programs in health, education, skills training,
entrepreneurship, and innovation have been evident in our daily
lives.”
