ArmInfo. At late June, representatives of the US Embassy in Armenia
visited Tukhmanuk gold deposit, Aragatsotn marz, in north of Armenia,
which is exploited by the US gold recovery company–Global Gold
Corporation.
The guests have familiarized themselves with the company’s activity and
its prospects. The leadership of GGC showed the guests the open pit,
processing plant and laboratory. The company’s activities in
Armenia and development prospects were presented. A special emphasis
was placed on social and ecologic problems.
David Bohigian, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Commerce for
Market Access and Compliance of the US Embassy, said in a conversation
with ArmInfo correspondent that during the visit he has got a positive
impression about the administration of Global Gold, its leadership and
employees. "The most important thing is that the company intends to
increase the scope of works and create new jobs, which will promote the
further prosperity of Armenia," he said. The representative of the
Embassy noted that any American company, wherever it is, works by the
same standards and brings the culture/standards of corporate management
and social responsibility. "It is very important that they think how
not to cause damage to the environment and to improve the labor and
life conditions of employees that shall be appreciated both by
employees and by Armenia’s Government," he added.
