“We are providing these benefits to the more vulnerable populations. It is gratifying to see how those with limited resources can receive medical care. That is the true foundation of being a good neighbor,” said Claudia Marcela Rivas, Administrative Manager of Drummond Ltd.’s Pribbenow Mine and head of the Amigos del Carbón Foundation.
