Rising Mines approach to Mining is to work as an integral member of the community and wider Zambian Society.
Partnering with our Communities
in terms of maximising local employees and local Procurement to ensure that investment is reflected on the ground
Community Investments in Education and Skills
so that local and regional people can properly secure opportunities at the site, with suppliers or in the wider economy
Community Investment in Health & Sanitation
to ensure that local people are not hindered by health and medical challenges in pursing the new opportunities
Protecting our employees
and those in our suppliers by meeting and sometimes exceeding health and safety requirements
Paying our Royalties and Taxes
recognising that Zambian can only thrive if all stakeholders make their fair contributions to the wider development of the country
Safeguarding the Environment, recognising that we are stewards of the land and its surroundings.
Before, during and after mining operations that the environment is protected and where possible enhanced by our investment by:
- Close liaison with local communities and property owners in planning and actual implementation of works.
- Application of cleaner production techniques and work habits which limit resource use and waste generation.
- Containment of pollutant sources and timely remediation of any contamination.
- Use of efficient equipment with improved environmental performance.
- Keeping disturbed areas to a minimum, and re-vegetating bare areas as soon as possible.
- Careful Waste management strategy.
- At the end of any works proper decommissioning and closure of the project involving dismantling and removal of all work facilities, site clean-up and removal of all materials, remediation of all contaminated areas e.g., bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated sites, safe final disposal of all wastes, burying of all excavated pits followed by profiling and landscaping to facilitate plant colonization or re-vegetation.
