This, ladies and gents, is an all-time first in corporate mining history. Here’s the link to the OceanaGold (OGC.to) 2020 guidance NR, and here’s the unprecedented moment in modern mining:
“In the Philippines, the FTAA renewal
process continues to progress with the Office of the President currently
reviewing the renewal. We remain actively engaged with key regulatory
agencies and government officials, stakeholders from the communities and
our employees. We continue to receive strong support for the FTAA
renewal from the national and local governments and from the local
communities. More recently, approximately 1,200 members of the local
Didipio and host communities including Indigenous Peoples travelled 10
hours each way to rally in support of the FTAA renewal, OceanaGold, the
Didipio Mine and their livelihoods in front of the Presidential Palace
in Manila. This unprecedented show of
support was a humbling experience and a clear demonstration of the
strong social license we have to operate in this remote, rural community
in northern Philippines.”
Did you spot it? Yes indeed ladies and gents, Mr. Mike Wilkes creates history tonight by becoming the first ever mining CEO to have had a humbling experience. It’s about time one of you fuckers did.
