Gold Resource's El Aguila project in Mexico should bring substantial benefits to the local community, a company executive has said.

According to the president of the gold producer William W Reid, Gold Resource plans to initiate a number of positive ventures in the area around the mine.

These include a village clinic to provide health care to residents, Mr Reid explained, citing the facility as one way in which the company is bringing benefits to the area beyond jobs and economic growth.

"It is very important that Gold Resource makes a positive contribution to the surrounding communities above and beyond providing local jobs.

"We plan to build a village that employees and local residents can be proud of," he said.

The gold producer also announced that it has purchased a permitted operating water well for the proposed mill at the project.

As well as the El Aguila operation, Gold Resource operates the nearby El Rey gold property.
