An independent team of professionals will carry out meetings and public consultations in the municipalities of Beariz, Avión, Forcarei, A Lama and Cerdedo-Cotobade.
Mina Doade, the underground mining project for extraction of lithium and feldspar minerals in Beariz (Ourense), is launching its citizen engagement and listening process aimed at achieving social recognition and obtaining the corresponding Operating Permit. The process is being conducted with the highest possible level of information sharing and involvement of all interested parties, to ensure the project is carried out with maximum guarantees.
Recursos Minerales de Galicia, S.A., the company promoting Mina Doade, is committed to an open and transparent communication approach with the community, actively involving it in the project’s progress and data. To this end, a Public Participation and Communication Plan is being implemented, aiming to involve institutions, individuals, and social and economic stakeholders in the project. The goal is to foster effective collaboration through participatory methodologies and mechanisms that promote transparency.
The citizen participation process is led by an independent company, following a rigorous methodology adapted from internationally recognized standards. This team of listening professionals will meet during the final quarter of 2024 with local stakeholders and will hold in-person meetings and field consultations in the municipalities of Beariz, Avión, Forcarei, A Lama and Cerdedo-Cotobade.
At the same time, Recusos Minerales de Galicia, S.A. is holding meetings with local councils in the communities involved, to provide updates on the progress of the Mina Doade project. The company will also organise public events and gatherings to ensure a continuous flow of information and transparency throughout the entire process.
As an information channel, this website remains active, offering clear and up-to-date details about the mining project. It includes both physical and online participation channels to gather opinions and suggestions from citizens and other interested parties. Through citizen participation, transparency and open communication, the aim is to create an environment in which all stakeholders can collaborate and contribute to the project’s success. The Beariz region can rest assured that its voices will be heard and its concerns addressed throughout this entire process.
