Our Commitment to Sustainable Mining

We align our objectives with our Sustainability Goals, to drive our performance and maximize positive impact in these areas.Here you’ll find a few of these the highlights.

Goal:

Responsible Mining through inspections, audits, and compliance.

Environmental Officers of the Ministries may conduct site inspections and audits to verify compliance with lease conditions and with this policy.As a result of an inspection or audit the Ministries may direct the leaseholder to undertake or modify operations, or to carry our remedial action or supplementary studies to ensure that operations are conducted in accordance with conditions of the lease and sound mining and environmental practice.

Goal:

Implement best practices for water flow management.

All surface and underground waters, both from the site and diverted from other sources, must adhere to the latest industry best practices. This ensures that erosion, sedimentation, and flooding of surface channels are effectively prevented.

Additionally, proper water management is critical to avoid contamination of both surface and groundwater. Implementing these practices safeguards the environment and helps maintain regulatory compliance in mining operations. The plan also tracks progress towards achieving environmental and rehabilitation goals, ensuring that mining operations are conducted responsibly and sustainably.

Goal:

compliant, sustainable mining with environmental rehabilitation goals.

All mining activities will follow a Mining Operations Plan (MOP) that has will be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife. The MOP outlines the planned site activities and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.The plan also tracks progress towards achieving environmental and rehabilitation goals, ensuring that mining operations are conducted responsibly and sustainably.

Goal:

Training for health, environment, and Safety

Training workers is essential to ensure they understand the hazards involved in exploratory work, promoting safety and awareness on potential risks. This training helps workers recognize and manage the dangers associated with such tasks to prevent accidents and harm.

In addition, it is crucial to train the relevant personnel on how to operate the facility by following established systems and procedures. These protocols are designed to safeguard human health, protect the surrounding community, and minimize environmental impact.

Goal:

Worker safety through proactive planning and response.

The primary focus is on ensuring the health and safety of workers by effectively operating and monitoring facilities to maintain a safe working environment. This includes periodically evaluating the effectiveness of health and safety measures to identify improvements.

Additionally, developing and implementing emergency response strategies is crucial, alongside involving site personnel and stakeholders in the planning process to ensure a comprehensive and collaborative approach to safety and preparedness.
