Soma Gold Receives Award For Environmental Sustainability

Despite the losses recorded by the stock during the period, it may be a good move for investors to consider taking a look at the announcement made by the company on Tuesday. The company announced yesterday that back on December 9 its Columbia based subsidiary company OperadoraMinera SAS had been bestowed with the Award for Environmental Sustainability.

The award was in the A Category and had been awarded by the CORANTIOQUIA, Antioquia’s Environmental Authority. The award was a recognition of the fact that OperadoraMinera had gone beyond its remit in order to sustain a environmentally responsible operation.

While it is true that it was a significant development it seems that investors are not particularly bothered about it one way or another. However, at same time, it may be a good idea for investors to consider keeping an eye on the Soma Gold stock over the course of the coming days. A stock trading in a range can often break out strongly as well.
