Belo Sun's response to MiningWatch Canada's rejoinder

...Belo Sun Mining Corp. (Belo Sun) has and will continue to advance the Volta Grande Project and Indigenous Study in a mindful and respectful manner and by listening to all stakeholders and respecting and adhering to local Indigenous people’s comments and suggestions while and following all applicable Brazilian laws and regulations...

Belo Sun and its management team will only present the Indigenous Study to the Indigenous communities in a manner that respects their traditions and land and the consultation will only occur when it is determined to be safe to do by the appropriate stakeholders and the relevant Indigenous communities...

Belo Sun also believes that consultation with Indigenous communities, local communities, the municipality, and the region is a continuous process that will continue to occur throughout the life of the Volta Grande Project...

We believe the Volta Grande Project will bring positive social and economic benefits, provide jobs, security, education, training and improved quality of life to the local communities, Indigenous communities, the municipality, and the region. Belo Sun will develop the Volta Grande Project in compliance with environmental and social governance laws and regulations while creating positive environmental opportunities to enhance, cleanup, and improve the local region that has been damaged from past illegal mining activities...

Volta Grande will be a responsible and accountable mining project...
