COMPANIES BEGIN THE GREEN CHALLENGE

128 COMPANIES BEGIN THE “GREEN CHALLENGE”

The Cleantech Challenge contest received over 1,000 proposals with green business projects, developing the toilet of the future and models of water treatment are some of the proposals.

On Monday third edition of the event Cleantech Challenge began, which seeks to promote job creation and clean technology in companies in Mexico, providing business development training and assist in the funding process for green projects.

“We have noticed increased interest and projects grounded in past editions had an approach that was directed mainly to the production of items with recycled materials and alternative energy generation, we now find proposals ranging from the toilet of the future to development of water treatment, we see a growing interest in projects that address problems and needs, “says Luis Aguirre CEO and president of Cleantech GreenMomentum Challenge Mexico.

The 128 first selected will begin the round of ‘open tournaments’ between companies, the call was launched in April and was in force until  May15, the conditions for participation were to have a business idea developed innovative and sustainable commercial use, manufacture or promote the use of clean technology (cleantech).

Use clean technology involves creating a product, service or knowledge to optimize resource use,

maximize efficiency and eliminate waste, achieving a reduction in costs, inputs, resource consumption, waste and pollution.

This year, the Cleantech Challenge received over 1,000 proposals of which 128 were selected, the axes of the nominated companies are creating alternative energy sources, processing resources and the development of waterless urinals and treatment, collection and water purification.

Richard Fifer – Molejon Project

Richard Fifer Carles embarked on a project of responsible and modern mining, we invite you to discover it with us.

The venture is called the Molejón Project, it is located in Cerro Petaquilla (hill) in the Donoso district of the province of Colon.

The Mine

Engineer Lazaro Rodriguez

Three areas are developed here and are the ones we will be seeing right now,  Planning defines what is moved from where to where and when, Geology verifies whether the plan complies with the reserves we have, and Operations executes the plan.

How?

With heavy equipment, drilling and blasting with explosives. That execution is provided as a service by PDI in moving earth drilling.

Once this is developed, the mineral is ready for the process. What happens to our mineral is that it is not visible, it consists of particles dispersed in the rest of the materials, our process starts with a physical process of grinding.

Why grind? Because this tiny gold particle, which is associated with the rest of the materials, must be exposed, and the first step to expose it is to reduce the size of the rock to a minimum.

In our process of crushing and grinding, we reduce these particles to a size of 74 microns, which allows the exposure of the gold particle and allows our reactive to reach and separate  from the material.

By then, in the first stage of milling, we have been able to seperate our first gold particle and then, as Rafael was explaining, a thickening process begins where liquids are separated from solids, but why do we separate them?

Because that gold particle that is already released, is immediately sent to the refinery for the activated carbon to treat it, and the rest of the gold particles that were not detached are sent to a lixiviation process, which will grant it residence, time simply to allow the cyanide, as a reagent, to act and release the particle, and then it is also sent to activated coal.

Two coals full of gold and silver particles. That is sent to processing in the refinery, and these particles are then removed from the coals and sent to a gold concentrate, that gold concentrate is dried and subsequently melted and the result is a dore bar, which is the same particle that we have been releasing, either in an early stage or after some residence time.

The gold and silver are melted, and become a doré bar, so that our final product in the processing plant is a bar that has a gold concentrate and a silver concentrate which, depending on the area where the pit comes from, can range from a 70-30 to a 50-50

Fundación Castilla del Oro adelanta remodelación de iglesia de San Francisco de La Montaña

Cumpliendo con la misión para la cual fue creada por el ingeniero Richard Fifer Carles, la Fundación Castilla del Oro, adelanta los trabajos de remodelación de la iglesia de San Francisco de La Montaña y, en ese sentido, actualmente se levantan los planos para remozar la torre cuyo costo estimado asciende a 200 mil dólares.

Originalmente, la iglesia tenía una torre de cuatro escalas, pero en los años 30 un temblor que sacudió el área la afectó seriamente, por lo que tuvo

que ser restaurada; sin embargo los trabajos quedaron inconclusos, pues solo se repuso un nivel.

La iglesia esta ubicada en la comunidad de San Francisco de La Montaña, a 17 kilómetros de

la ciudad de Santiago de Veraguas, y su altar expone piezas pintadas algunas exquisitamente, o o cubiertas con láminas de oro, en lo que constituye ocupan uno de los más antiguos grupos de altares de estilo barroco del continente.

Castilla del Oro Foundation starts the remodeling of San Francisco de La Montaña church before planned

Complying with the mission for which Castilla del Oro Foundation was created by engineer Richard Fifer Carles, the Castilla del Oro Foundation, starts before planned with the remodeling of San Francisco de La Montaña church and in that sense,  is currently making the drawings to renovate the tower which estimated cost goes up to 200 thousand dollars.

Originally, the church had a four-scale tower, but in the thirties an earthquake that shook the area affected it seriously,  reason why it had to be restored; however the works remained unfinished, since only one level was repaired.

The church is located in the community of San Francisco de La Montaña, 17 kilometers from the

city of Santiago of Veraguas, and its altar shows painted pieces some of them exquisitely, or gold-plated,  in what constitutes what is considered one of the most ancient groups of altars of baroque style of the continent.

Ecosistemas del milenio

Madrid, septiembre 2011

La Fundación La Castilla del Oro, liderada por Richard Fifer – Carles y presidida por Cristóbal Colón en España desarrollará una labor social y medioambiental muy importante en la zona del Cerro del Andévalo –Huelva-. En esta línea nace la preocupación sobre temas ambientales, en este caso, abordaremos la protección de la naturaleza

AVANCES EN EL CONOCIMIENTO

A finales de los años noventa, las personas y entidades que investigaban y trabajaban por la protección de la naturaleza, eran conscientes de que aunque se habían conseguido grandes avances en el conocimiento científico sobre la estructura, funcionamiento, dinámica y estado de conservación de muchos tipos de ecosistemas y

de la biodiversidad que albergan, los resultados obtenidos estaban teniendo muy poca repercusión y peso en los debates políticos y en la toma de decisiones relacionadas con las causas que generaban su destrucción o degradación.

Evaluaciones globales tan robustas, en términos científicos, como fue La Evaluación Global de la Biodiversidad, desarrollada en el marco del Convenio de Diversidad Biológica (Heywood & Watson, 1995), resultaron un fracaso en el alcance político de las propuestas al centrarse en el debate científico y no tener en cuenta a los usuarios de los resultados.

La lección aprendida por la comunidad científica y las ONG conservacionistas, se articulaba alrededor del pensamiento estratégico de que si se quería impactar en los políticos y los tomadores de decisiones sobre la necesidad de cambiar las políticas actuales que degradan los sistemas naturales y erosionan la biodiversidad, no se les podía seguir hablando únicamente sobre cómo funcionan los ecosistemas o de la singularidad de determinadas especies carismáticas. Era necesario visibilizar los estrechos vínculos que existen entre los sistemas naturales y el bienestar humano. En otras palabras, había que introducir como eje esencial del debate los aspectos sociales de los ecosistemas y la biodiversidad a través de los servicios que generan a la sociedad.

Millennium Ecosystems

Madrid, September 2011

The Foundation Castilla del Oro, led by Richard Fifer- Carles and chairman Cristobal Colon in Spain will develop a social and environmental labor very important in the zone of Cerro del Andevalo – Huelva-. Under this line is born the concerns about environmental subjects, in this case will address the protection of nature.

ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE

In the late nineties, the people and entities who investigated and worked for the protection of nature, were aware that although they had made great advances in scientific knowledge about the structure, functioning, dynamics and conservation status of many types of ecosystems and the biodiversity that they hold, the results obtained were have little impact and weight in political debates and in relation to the decision making with the cause that the destruction or degradation would generate,

Strong global evaluation, in scientific terms, as the Global Evaluation of the biodiversity, developed in the framework of the Biological Diversity Convention (Heywood & Watson 1995), resulting in failure in the political impact of the proposals, due to the focus on the

scientific debate and not taking into account other users of the result.

The lesson learned by the scientific community and the ONG conservationists, was structured around the strategic thinking that if they wanted to have an impact n politicians and decision makers on the need to change their current policies that confront their natural systems and eroding biodiversity, they could not just keep talking about how the ecosystems worked or the singularities of determining charismatic species. It was necessary to demonstrate the close links between natural systems and human welfare. In other words, they had to introduce as en essential focus to the debate social aspects of the ecosystem and the biodiversity through the services that are generating to the society.

Modificaciones al Código Minero llenarán vacío legal

Las modificaciones que presentará el gobierno ante la Asamblea Nacional para modificar el Código de Recursos

Minerales llenarán un vacío legal que había quedado, luego que el gobierno derogó la ley 8, que modificaba la norma que está vigente desde 1963, sobre todo en lo que respecta al control de la minería ilegal.

Las reformas al Código Minero fueron aprobadas en febrero pasado, con el apoyo de empresas como Petaquilla Gold, S. A, que bajo el liderazgo del ingeniero Richard Fifer Carles,  avaló el aumento del pago de regalías y la aplicación de normas ambientales más rígidas, a fin de aminorar el impacto de la actividad minera.

La nueva norma también incluye cánones, multas y fiazas que deberán pagar las empresas mineras;  mientras que los incrementos de las multas se considera como un punto importante  para combatir la minería ilegal.
