Golden Eagle's President stated, "We have always had a cordial and open dialogue with the United Cangalli Gold Mining Coop, but we are more pleased that the Golden Eagle/Coop relationship is at its high point as we enter into our production phase. For the people of Cangalli, gold mining is not just a job; it is their history from time immemorial. There are still Incan sluices, or gold recovery devices, etched into the rock in Cangalli. In the mid-1500s, Cangalli was the site of pitched battles between the Spanish and Portuguese for domination of the Tipuani Gold District, and sourdough miners in the area still find musket shot in their gold pans today. So, we at Golden Eagle are proud that our presence in the area has stood this short test of time in this gold district that has stood the long test of time as a major gold producer for over 500 years."
