Petaquilla

Ever since the beginning of human existence there has been a magical attraction from us towards the shiny of gold. For thousands of years, this precious mineral has been driving people towards the desire to own it, buy it, gift it or even invest in it.

In the early 1500’s, with King Ferdinand´s (of Spain) instructions to the conquistadors to “humanely if possible, but at all costs, get gold” we begin to see the first signs of human adoration for this mineral. Today, mining experts have opened huge mines that continue to the development of our nations and the price of gold is higher than most of us ever imagined.

Unlike in past times, where gold had everything to do with powerful empires and currency, today it is mostly used for jewelry, investment and technological purposes.

70 percent of gold is now mined in developing countries like Panama, Peru, Guatemala and Ghana. Gold companies, especially responsible ones like Petaquilla Gold, in the Republic of Panama not only provide humans with this mineral for their everyday use, but they also generate good jobs for the population, work under strict environmental policies and implement time-tested technologies.
