FenixOro Gold Corp. announced plans for production of special edition collectible gold coins using gold mined legally by local miners from veins within the boundaries of the Company's Abriaqui project. The origins of gold mining in Colombia date back to the Spanish colonial period.

In Abriaqui, gold has been mined and produced legally for generations through mills using water-and-gravity techniques, without the use of chemicals or explosives. Abriaqui sits in an historic area where pride in artisanal mining has been a significant part of the culture and community for over one hundred years. The work of multiple generations of artisanal miners was instrumental in the discovery of many of the more than 140 veins that FenixOro has mapped, sampled and is exploring.

Through the development of strong relationships built over many years, FenixOro enjoys the full support of miners locally and in surrounding areas.
