Exploration in the DRC

Exploration in the DRC

Group Exploration has discovered 78 new kimberlites since the beginning of 2007, the bulk of which were in Angola. 

In conjunction with the respective joint venture partners, these projects are yielding promising results as priority projects move rapidly from early to advanced stages.

Environment, Community, Occupational Health and Safety (ECOHS) overview
The future of our company, and the well being of the communities and environments in which we operate, and often co-exist, matter deeply to us.

We need to always think of the consequences of what we do and drive a culture of compliance with our Values, Principles, Best Practices and Standards.
 
The health and safety of our employees is a priority, as is minimising our impact on the environment.

The ongoing Risk Assessment process followed across all operations assists with the identification and effective management of environmental, community, occupation health and safety (ECOHS) risks.

Exploration Guidelines have been developed to provide practical guidance to employees in the field and so assist them with the management of ECOHS issues.

Exploration and support services in South Africa are environmental ISO14001 certified. OHASAS18001 safety and health certification is imminent.

Outlook
Exploration’s outlook remains positive. Angola remains at the forefront by way of short term technical delivery.

Focus in other countries will be on cost efficiency, planning, identifying priority target areas and executing the discovery phase to fully develop exploration portfolios that will be able to deliver in the medium term.
