The Ministry of People's Power of Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam) is responsible for oversight of all mining contracts granted by the Venezuelan State, as part of the recovery of those spaces. Only in 2008 were returned to the nation 107 concessions, said Gustavo Perdomo, regional state prosecutor technical Bolivar.

"The commitment we have to respond to efforts this year, work continued and marked prospects, especially in mining areas in the area. The line is clear, we know we have a great bulk of mining rights, through grants and contracts, we are on duty to make a marked track, very detailed in terms of identifying those not complying with the rules of law with technical compromises and a set of special benefits that are there, "said Perdomo.

In relation to last year said that "the results of 2008 were quite satisfactory, we reversed approximately 107 mining contracts and concessions, this figure necessarily going to improve because we are going to follow up more detail.

The audit of the mines at sites run by private companies in the State will be intense, as announced by the prosecutor. "We must make on-site monitoring in tillage, increase employment and human resources that we need, especially the idea is to redefine the rules of the game in terms of mining concerns, which we have ordered."

The small mining escapes inspection because it will have certain areas, which may take under current rules. "In small-scale mining to improve the care we have to order other areas, we will address specific cases, there are projects that have been the flagship event of Copperbottom, Bizcaitarra, Apanao ... we are reviewing that and the idea is to have more areas for availability. We also Supamo Parapapoy area, as I said we have reversed some areas to increase the range of options. "

Perdomo also said that prosecutors will Mibam technical support for all the concessions that are reverting to the state and therefore need more resources to do inspections. In this regard he said that, while not bound to support the various organizations are on track to achieve this and to work together in favor of control, especially in areas such as the Caroni River.
