Social and Environmental Issues

 
   

The Company is compliant with the requirements set by the Environmental Council of Zambia with regard to minimising the impact on the environment of prospecting and exploration operations and has successfully submitted its Environmental Protection Brief. An environmental base line study will be commenced in 2008 so that the resulting Environmental Impact Statement will be available to match the reporting time line for any preliminary feasibility studies. Whilst drilling is necessarily energy intensive, many other aspects of exploration are not and the exploration camp runs many of its ancillary activities, including computers and lighting on solar power.

 

The Kabompo region is dominated by subsistence farming, which is in the lowest strata of income within Zambia. The Company has identified one community school, Nusanda, with 300 enrolled children close to Kawanga that has had no external support. The Company, together with the children’s charity World Vision, is providing the skills to help the community build classroom units. Larger projects will be appropriate as the Company completes viable feasibility studies.

The Company also maintains relationships with the traditional chiefs, who provide an essential local administrative role in the rural areas.
