Atico Announces Completion of The Environmental Consultation Process at La
Plata Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 03, 2025 -- Atico Mining Corporation (the “Company” or “Atico”) (TSX.V: ATY | OTCQX:
ATCMF) is pleased to announce that the Ministry of the Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (MAATE) successfully
concluded the Community Participation Process for Environmental Consultation (PPC) as a final step in the process prior to
granting the Environmental License for exploitation.
“For Atico, the successful completion of the PPC marks a significant milestone in the La Plata project's path towards
construction ready state” said Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO. “Furthermore, it reinforces our commitment to collaborate closely
with the local community in the area of influence and beyond, ensuring our activities are conducted with social and
environmental responsibility, in full compliance with Ecuadorian laws and international best practices.”
The process began with environmental facilitators visiting the project's area of social influence to gather information needed to
establish mechanisms for convening, informing, and consulting, in line with environmental regulations. Next, the informative
phase was carried out to share the project description, its potential environmental impacts, and the Environmental
Management Plan, which includes prevention, mitigation, and control measures. The process successfully concluded with the
environmental consultation of residents in the area of direct social influence of the mining project.
On August 23, a significant number of residents from Las Minas de La Plata and San Pablo de La Plata attended MAATE's
Consultation Assembly. Environmental facilitators presented updates and enhancements to the approved Environmental
Impact Study (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan for the La Plata mining project. Over 90% of participants voiced
support for the project, agreeing that the Environmental License should be granted to the mining company to proceed with
exploitation and beneficiation activities.
