Sagittarius Mines, Inc. Tampakan Copper-Gold Project continues its advocacy to greening the environment by supporting various tree-planting activities surrounding Tampakan project area. Last Sunday March 6, 2010, SMI invited us Gensan Bloggers to visit the area. Another adventure tour for the SOX bloggers. We left Gensan at exactly 7 a.m. since we had our itinerary to be followed those were Security and Safety briefing, Cultural briefing, Project Update, Open Forum, Tour to Core Shed and other environment biodiversity, Interaction with the community and feed backing. I enjoyed tour specially during the bumpy ride and having interaction with the community.
