Community & Corporate Social Responsibility
Mining for the People, With the People, By the People
The land belongs to the people—and the minerals beneath it should enrich their lives
At Mackondor Mining (SL) Limited, we believe that mineral wealth is a shared resource. Our Community and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are designed to ensure that the benefits of mining flow directly to the landholding families, local communities, and future generations who call our operational areas home. We do not extract from communities—we invest in them.
This principle guides every interaction we have with host communities, from the initial consultation phase through exploration, production, and eventual site closure. We view community members not as stakeholders to be managed, but as partners in a shared enterprise of sustainable development.
Five commitments we hold
in every community
We recognize and honor customary land tenure systems, traditional authority structures, and the historical relationship between communities and their ancestral lands.
No exploration or extraction activity begins without the genuine, documented consent of affected communities, obtained through transparent dialogue and independent facilitation.
Revenue, employment, and development benefits are distributed fairly among landholding families, community members, and local institutions.
Our community programs are designed for sustainability, ensuring that benefits continue even after mining operations conclude.
We respect local customs, languages, religions, and social norms, integrating cultural competence into all community engagement activities.
Honoring those who
steward the land
The Landholding Family Loyalty Program is the cornerstone of Mackondor Mining’s community engagement strategy. We recognize that landholding families are the original custodians of the mineral resources we extract, and they deserve direct, meaningful, and sustained benefits from mining activities on their ancestral lands.
Structured royalty payments to landholding families based on production volumes and mineral values. These payments are transparently calculated, regularly disbursed, and independently audited to ensure fairness.
Landholding family members receive first preference for employment opportunities across all operational levels—from unskilled labor and security to technical and supervisory roles. We provide comprehensive training to ensure family members can advance within the company.
Full-tuition scholarships for children and dependents of landholding families, covering primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Scholarship recipients also receive textbooks, uniforms, and transportation allowances.
Free annual health screenings, emergency medical coverage, and subsidized healthcare for all members of landholding families. We also support the construction and staffing of community health posts.
Construction and maintenance of durable housing for landholding families affected by relocation, along with access to clean water, sanitation, and electricity.
Post-mining land restoration support, including soil remediation, provision of high-yield seeds, farming tools, and agricultural training to restore livelihoods after extraction concludes.
Active protection of sacred sites, burial grounds, and cultural landmarks during all phases of operation. We fund the documentation and preservation of oral histories and traditional knowledge.
