The mine actively fulfills its social responsibilities and has integrated ESG principles into the project’s feasibility study, design and construction from the outset, while establishing an ESG management system to high standards. Following receipt of the mining permit in September 2024, the mine immediately launched negotiations on and preparation of the Cahier de Charge (Social Term Sheet), which was formally signed in June 2025 for a five-year term, with commitments to prioritize projects in key areas such as road infrastructure and education.

By the end of 2025, it had carried out 44 community donation and support projects, with a cumulative spending of approximately US$6.5 million. It also regularly organized activities such as community work progress briefings and public information sessions, earning broad recognition and support from local communities. The mine launched a pilot agricultural cooperation program for maize cultivation and, in partnership with the University of Manono, provided vocational training for 227 local young people.

Thanks to its strong community engagement, the mine received the “Tanganyika” award in both 2024 and 2025, while two employees were granted the honorary title of “Land Chief” by the local paramount chief. Once built and commissioned, the project is expected to create 1,500 direct jobs and more than 8,000 indirect employment opportunities.
