What are the projects that you are most proud of working on over the past 12 months?

Firstly, the registration of the LHG Mining trademark (in different classes) and alteration of the name of our companies in the 4 jurisdictions, as a consequence of the rebranding of our group; secondly, closing of the transfers of ownership (vessels and equipment) acquired by our Paraguayan company (two harbor tugboats, one tank pontoon, one crane pontoon and 2 cranes, equipment destined for our mineral transshipment operation); thirdly, obtaining the authorisation as a port operator for our Uruguayan company, of vital importance to carry out our mineral stevedoring operation in said jurisdiction; fourthly, the negotiation, review, and signing of high-value and complex contracts for our Paraguay River hard-bottom dredging project (including contracts with dredging suppliers and environmental impact studies, agreements with the government, among others); and, lastly, the handling of legal inquiries through a platform called Automidia, which allows us to measure our response times, number of requests, and safeguards the governance of our information.
