OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Kisankala Village relocation

Interaction with our stakeholders and regular dialogue with members of the community that surround our operations lie at the core of our Community Relations Policy. As we move forward with the Kalukundi project we are actively engaged in our community consultation meetings at Kisankala Village. These meetings inform the community about the process involved in building the Kalukundi mine and the possible impacts and benefits that the mine will have on their community and the surrounding environment. By being actively engaged in the consultation process, the members of the community have the ability to help shape their future.
