This is actually one of the most important sections relating to Kouroussa:
Kouroussa ESG:
· During the quarter, the Company has been working with local communities in the surrounding regions to the mine to ensure the operation meets the rigorous local employment requirements and expectations. Community engagement remains an ongoing key focus for the Company, including the prioritising of employment opportunities at the mine for Guinean locals and nationals.
· Through FY-2023 the Company has completed several social responsibility projects in the Kouroussa region including: the construction of sanitation infrastructure; implementation of community livelihood projects (including poultry farms, soap making and market gardens initiatives); development of local water infrastructure; and provision of educational equipment for local schools.
· Additionally, during the quarter the Company conducted an onsite worker awareness campaign against malaria led by the Kouroussa medical team.
All of this 'Fluff' is actually really important. They have to manage the politics of this correctly and make sure they are seen to invest in Guinea economy and local society. then everyone will be happy and they can work efficiently and deliver product with the better grade ore accessed soon in dry weather with a trained personnel.
