El Callao will deliver to the dialogue table proposals from the mining sector to change the law, stop dispossession and protect the rivers

El Callao municipality in Bolívar state, Venezuela, held a popular consultation to formulate mining sector proposals for the National Assembly's dialogue commission.

Six working groups were installed in El Callao to draft proposals for the National Assembly's dialogue commission.

Proposals include reforming the Mining Law, protecting artisanal miners, addressing Minerven's operational collapse, and environmental measures.

Minerven's gold production fell from 2,000 kg/month historically to 180 kg currently.

Artisanal miners demand an end to expropriations and an increase in the legal gold carrying limit from 30 to 100 grams.
