In October 22-28, 2006, a group of GMP representatives met with gold miners from the Tapajos river basin in Creporizão, Pará, Brazil. The week long training event was titled "Cuide de seu Tesouro" or Care for your treasure; this was a very successful mission to educate miners and encourage appropriate mining techniques. The Aide Memoire describes the goals and objectives of the training and includes the schedule and a list of participants. A picture document has been assembled by the coordinator, Rodolfo Neives.
