Cerro de Pasco Resources Wins Decisive Vote at the
Quiulacocha Community Assembly
MONTREAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA — (September 24, 2019) Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. (CSE: CDPR)
(OTCMKTS: GPPRF) (Frankfurt: N8HP) (“ CDPR”, or the “ Corporation“) announced today that the
Quiulacocha Community has voted decisively in favor of CDPR’s tailings reprocessing plan. This
represents a crucial step towards achieving the required social license and key permits. Perhaps
more important than any legal authorization, the landmark vote reinforces the Company’s
partnership with the communities. It enables CDPR to remove and reprocess mining waste at the
famous Cerro de Pasco mine , and in doing so would provide an effective and practical
environmental remediation solution with long -term economic and social benefits.
The decisive result was achieved on the 15 th of September at the General Assembly of the
Community chaired by Mr. Miguel Baldeon Hermitaño and ratified on the 19 th of September.
Ninety Eight percent (98%) of the community members attending the event voted in favor of the
CDPR’s initiative. According to the count m ade by community officials, the ratification of the
“Agreement to Support the Reprocessing Project of Mining Tailings” was approved by one
hundred three (103) votes in favor, only three (3) against and zero (0) abstentions.
The community has agreed to assist CDPR, in the remediation of contamination specifically found
in old tailings within the historical El Metalurgista Concession, through its removal & reuse. The
Community of Quiulacocha owns an area of approximately 40 km2 located in the ar ea of
influence of the El Metalurgista project.
Executive Chairman of CDPR, Steven Zadka, affirmed, “Such strong support is unprecedented in
the area and provides the first step in obtaining the social license necessary for the project to
meet its key objectives, ultimately contributing to local development in an environmentally
responsible manner.”
The El Metalurgista project aims to achieve the effective and permanent remediation of the
Quiulacocha tailings, which are the main source of environmental risk that still weighs on local
communities and the Junín Lake ecosystem. Mr. Zadka concluded “This step forward will increase
local employment , provide special royalties for communities and generate a new source of
revenue for the Central, Regional and Local governments, which can be reinvested in works that
benefit the entire population.”
