Several miners within the hollows, investigate and remove auriferous material

In our first work, published yesterday in this newspaper, we informed that the consulted miners calculate approximately that daily they extract contentivo material of 10 kilos of gold. The totality of this gold has not received it the miners, because they need to guides of mobilization and transport to take near 50 thousand coats of material to the mills of Gilded and the Pebble.

MORE OF GOLD YEAR AND A HALF

Miners who we laboriously found peaky, shovels and other tools, investigating hollow in the racket Tin Leaf, agree in assuring that this gold outcrop can be maintained by more of year and a half with present the 5 or 6 thousand people, but continues arriving people like for 15 days, the advantage will be by smaller time.

This racket, considered by several miners interviewed like one of the greatest open pies in the municipalities of the South, is more in front of the town San jOse de Anacoco, in direction of the island of Anacoco, Sifontes municipality.

They say that really, it is the second racket that arises there same. Initially she appeared one in a near point, but it was run out. They remember that this racket was open pie by a miner met like the Apureño.

They express that this racket is represented by a fragmented gold deposit that is in the subsoil. The gold is inlaid or next to stones of all size, some of great diameter that require explosives to divide them. Also they define the racket like a stone deposit with gold that is earth flower. The work in this racket is absolutely artisan, using tip, shovel and chisel. In some hollows they work with electrical hammer, for which they require plant.

Risks work without majors

When we observed of hollow and put thousand miners digging between these, removing material, we consulted if they could run the risk of some landslide, threat that they misestimated. Within a hollow we encountered William Padilla, mining leader of the municipalities of the South and several miners of the group who work in association with him.

“Good part of the miners who we are here, we are bulleros, that is to say, veteran of rackets. Where there is racket there we are and we have reached a good knowledge. We are specialistic in this type of work. The hollow does not collapse we coined because it with wood and in the hollows we are leaving walls”.

The work that realises the miners in the racket of Tin Leaf, is through advantage of a material that some call gravel, consistent of earth and stone. They operate a conductor can take who them to the vein, which must be to more than 80 meters of depth. The miners who work in this racket, will be able to lower the hollows to near 40 meters of depth. The artisan work makes difficult to lower more to them. Of there in future, the operation of gold is through the mechanized industry.

A gram by kilo of material

We continue investigating about the tenor and the gold that falls into the hands of the miners of the racket and gave several references us.

“It takes an example - they expressed. The material we put in coats or knapsacks of 40 kilos. When we grind, that material produces more of 05 to 30 grams or. This means that the top tenor, reports a gram to us by kilo of material. By the others, 28 knapsacks of material, are equivalent to one ton metric”.

Difficulty to obtain

mobilization guides

By law, the transfer of auriferous material requires of mobilization guides which grant the Ministry for the Basic Industries and Mining - Mibam, for which, a letter is required endorsement that must give the cooperative from where the material comes. In the case of this racket, endorsement must give it to the cooperative of Tin Leaf, presided over by Jesus Head.

“But we have problems to obtain the mobilization guides - These guides of mobilization express Padilla- must give Mibam to them of the Pebble, but there the Enthusiastic engineer, like office manager, slows down much the deliveries. Apparently Mibam is not in capacity to handle a racket like this. There they receive the request and they ask to him to which returns tomorrow. They are 24 and 48 hours to obtain the document. This means that they are not preparations to take care of this racket. It is a problem that always we faced the miners, when it appears a racket of these, arise the problems. The State is not preparation to take care of. They only scream like pigs. If the State were preparation to take care of a case like this, here they would have at least one office to collect taxes and to foment the organization. As this office does not exist, they realise illegal collections in alcabala of White House, where they receive until by passing a small pump. It is already being spoken of tariffs, 400 bolivars to let pass to freezer, for example. That we did not consider it correct, but it happens for want of official organization to take care of the population that is settling here”.

The Army arrived

In the morning of yesterday, a military outpost penetrated to the area of the racket of Tin Leaf. The uniformed ones entered by the unique access, injured via which it leaves from the highway that leads to the island of Anacoco.

We investigate about the presence of the military and they said to us that one is a quasi-in-rem action of Military staff and of the National Guard. The operative one is commanded by the Army.

One inquired that one is not evacuation measures, but the execution of a program of social prophylaxis, like document revision of people and equipment, also avoiding the consumption of spirits.

Mayoress asks to let pass

implementos of work

Meanwhile, the substitute mayoress of Sifontes, Carmen de Chancellor expressed through the radio that so soon knew of the arrival of the military, made the consultations of the case and they informed to him that a prophylaxis action was not evacuation but.

It said that on the part of the Mayorship, a plan of medical attention is executed. It was sent personal doctor along with the movable clinic and aid to help the miners who are lacking survival articles.

As in alcabala of White House until of equipment of refrigeration along with hammers, plants and other tools is no entry, the mayoress asked to the authorities, that let pass the instruments of work. Also she asked for Mibam that installs an office in Tin Leaf so that it facilitates the granting of guides of mobilization of material. It said that the authorities must understand that good part of the town of Tumeremo is in the racket. One is miners and relatives his, that more than controls, need support and direction.

“By part ours, we are making the contributions that are possible to us. We are taking into account that most probable is than in these days, continue arriving miners, which means that it is necessary that all the involved authorities we agree ourselves so that we facilitate the work with a minimum of restrictions”.

Hopefully they do not put with us

William Padilla, surrounded by numerous miners continued speaking. We wanted to know the opinion other miners, but they communicated to us that the informant is authorized to have a discussion.

“Hopefully that is not happened to them to come to evacuate to us. Civil servants of the organisms that treat the mining subject, always have asked to us that we organize ourselves in cooperatives to assign mining areas to us and we did thus it, but don't mention it serves. The miners who we are here, are because they have not assigned productive areas to us to work them. As we do not have areas we put anywhere and they remove to us there. We undergo for want of a mining policy defined good. Sifontes was considered like mining municipality, but it was the pure name”.
