ASX and JSE listed base metals developer, Orion Minerals, has put a big focus on equipping and enabling the communities surrounding its Prieska Zinc-Copper Project, Northern Cape, to benefit from, and contribute to, the development of a modern, mechanised and productive mining operation, says Orion CEO Errol Smart. He tells Mining Weekly that Orion has liaised with communities and the SiyaThemba Municipality with the aim of preparing residents to exploit opportunities created by the development and eventual operation of the mine. “We’re talking to communities to ensure that they are able to foresee what’s going to happen and then to contribute sensibly to these developments . . . because it isn’t a one-way street, it’s also about how communities can benefit the mine.”
