Mining Exploration

 

 

NEWS UPDATE

Recent attempts by most developing countries in Africa (with exception of few countries like Botswana and South Africa) to harness the opportunity presented by the extraction industry has been hindered by lack of adequate planning due to most countries focusing most of their attention on Crude Oil.

 

Regrettably revenues generated from most of the mineral extraction ventures in developing countries do not always translate or benefit the citizens; since over 70% of the people are still living below the poverty level.  To further complicate issues, most of the existing exploration projects have been embarked upon without putting adequate provisions in place to protect the environment. Most times the consent of all involved are not sought after, especially that of the people of the rural communities; many of such communities are denied the opportunity of taking an active part in the decision making process and implementation of mining schemes that will have a direct impact on their lives, livelihood and as a result, their human rights are constantly  being violated.

 

A well-integrated extractive sector that takes into account the importance of both the Liquid Hydro Carbon and solid mineral Industry will play a very important role in the economy of developing countries.

 

The Extractive Mineral industry should be used to promote Social Investment and developed to serve the local industries. The Industry should serve as a catalyst for the developing countries to achieve their industrialisation dream. However, because the nature of extraction processes creates a potential negative impact on the environment both during the extraction operations and for years after the exploration site is closed, adequate  steps must be taken to moderate the negative effects of it operations. Safety has long been a concern as well, though modern practices have improved safety in mines significantly.

 

We are promoting a well-integrated Extractive Industry; we intend to eliminate the deprivations often associated with mining projects, and turn mining to a tool to alleviate the rural people out of poverty.

We operate a model that exploits the present lucrative market for the unutilized minerals and plough the revenue and resources generated back into the community to enhance other developmental ventures. This is as opposed the current common operating business model that either exploits the mineral resources of the community, the people of the community or both.
