en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Los Azules project management team held meetings with the Calingasta Provincial Business Chambers, the Calingasta Mining Services Chamber (CASEMICA) and the Calingasta Business Chamber (CAEMCA), to report on project progress for the 2025–2026 season, the amount of investment already completed, and the execution strategy for the next development phase, while directly addressing questions from local private sector participants.

The two meetings were held on May 27 in the towns of Villa Calingasta and Barreal, with the participation of over 40 members from both chambers.

During the presentations on project progress at both meetings, Los Azules General Manager Michael Meding stated that the relationship with the Calingasta community is not a formality but a core part of how the project is developed, with a commitment from the outset to be present, listen, and provide first-hand information.

During the meetings, management shared detailed information on the results for the 2025–2026 season, including local employment data, the number of active contracts with provincial and regional suppliers, and the amount of investment executed during this period. At the same time, it was reported that the project is awaiting approval of the industry permit from the San Juan provincial government, a necessary administrative step to maintain the scheduled timeline and ensure the job and development opportunities the project brings to the region are realized on time.

Several members of the project management team attended the meetings: Emilio Miranda from the Commercial and Logistics Department; Mario Hernández from the Sustainability Department; Alfredo Sanchez from the Finance Department; Rodolfo Ovalles from the Legal and Institutional Affairs Department; and Juan Carlos Caparros from the Project Construction Department.

In addition, the meetings provided an overview of the project execution strategy for the next phase (expected between 2026 and 2031), with particular emphasis on the indicative timeline for the start of works, the expected scale of construction activities, and opportunities for local businesses and workers to participate.

These meetings are part of the broader community relations policy that Los Azules has maintained since the project's inception, which includes maintaining ongoing communication channels with the Calingasta community, government authorities, and the private sector. The company reaffirmed its commitment to continue reporting on project progress and to maintain these active engagement channels as it approaches the larger-scale construction phase.
