An article in Prensa.com reports that, "while these new requests compete to explore and then extract the highly sought-after material, MICI has already granted a concession to Silver Global S.A. to transport Cañazas gold. MICI Viceminister, Ricardo Quijano, comments that the concession, granted in July, represents a license to transport the mineral that in the past was extracted by the mining company Minas Santa Rosa, which closed down in 1999".
