Richard Fifer Now -  Petaquilla Gold, the flagship of modern mining in the region, will play its role in the history of the beginning of a new era in mining

Mankind with its achievements with their strengths and defects has been able to achieve a balance between the uses of natural resources essential for survival while maintaining respect for the environment. In the beginning we were fruit pickers, somehow, accidentally or not, we tested the flesh of animals, then began to grow our own products, making us sedentary, while domesticated animals would supply our nutritional needs.

Along with all this development, we used tools, this is how the Stone Age began, therein man created tools out of rocks as their hunting implements, for defense and managed to cover other needs. Later we came to know the different uses of iron and thus was born the iron age, so that mining has been a faithful companion of humanity from its remotest beginnings using iron preceded by the use of copper and tin, known as the Bronze Age.

Humans have had to draw on mineral resources to survive and to lay the foundations of progress. There is no civilization or culture that has not collected and processed natural resources and minerals which, as a primary sector of all economies, has been fundamental to the very existence of the planet.

Gold appears in all these cultures as a good and not just any good, but the good that establishes the pattern of value or merchandise reference value and all important treatises economists from Smith, Ricardo, Marx and all their contemporaries.

That’s why exploration, search and study of new deposits of gold, is nothing other than a natural process of growth and development of humanity. The countries that are blessed with these sites, are also in the obligation to explore them responsibly, so it is imperative that the application of modern cleaner technologies be developed. Let us celebrate today in a responsible manner the beginning of a new era in mining and Petaquilla Gold, with its project Molejón, the flagship of modern mining in the region, will play its role in the history of that process, which started when our ancestors understood that with a rock you could develop tools.
