This case study shows how Mineros S.A. generates $16.137millions to the region, from which remains in this zone (net wealth) after discounting outside supply $8.402 millions. It is important to note that gross wealth, excluding gold production value, represents 11% of El Bagre Economy. In terms of employment generation, Mineros S.A. impacts to the region with 2.459 employs that means about 23% of El Bagre’semployment.
