Sounds like radical change of culture for those people, not easy ... might be wise to be careful messing around with folks who grow grenades [this from your link above] -

'Ejido Huizopa, each ejidatario has 15 thousand square meters for housing and pens, some families live [from] animals that can breed among chickens and cows and horses that have fruit trees in their orchards because the climate lends itself to the production of orange, figs, grenades, nopales, and other fruits, which in the new village would not be possible by the cold weather where he was construido.'

Should be pomegranates of course ... sorry i haven't had time yet to catch up on detail here, get a real sense of it ... but as jr makes the point on the mmg thread, here is where Metalline has one of their huge advantages over other projects anywhere on the planet - they fit into, and augment, an existing mining community and culture ... they're providing employment and training to locals, as much as absolutely practical, more than many other companies would do in their place, and they're working to providing more ... but the easiest part was already done for them - these are mining people, you don't have to change anything basic, you go with an existing flow
