company . Because of our planned use of renewable energy and electric vehicles and next generation tech we are talking to people in a huge range of sectors not usually interested or affiliated with mining such as global organisations like the UN .
Q . WHAT OTHER PARTNERSHIPS ARE YOU DEVELOPING AND HOW D THEY DRIVE MUTUAL BENEFIT ?
» We are working in close partnerships to create a sense of ownership for our projects with the local communities to ensure the longevity of projects .
This will allow communities to prosper from stable revenues and circular economies and create highvalue jobs and transferable skills not just in the traditional mining sphere but also in areas such as tech and wildlife conservation which can outlive the life of a mine .
In 2021 , we announced a C $ 100M private placement by Fairfax Holdings to help advance and execute on our vision to develop a net zero carbon
Q . WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE KEY LEARNING POINTS FOR OTHER MINING COMPANIES WHEN PURSUING CARBON NEUTRALITY ? ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC THAT THE MINING INDUSTRY CAN REDUCE ITS EMISSIONS AND ACHIEVE NET ZERO TARGETS ?
» Currently , mining activities account for 4-7 % of global GHG emissions and the mining industry consumes up to 11 % of global energy use .
As the world electrifies to fight the climate crisis , we need to find ways to make it a climate-conscious process while still supplying the worldwide demand for copper and zinc , which will increase exponentially .
It also makes good economic sense , responsible , sustainable , climate-conscious mining is a more sustainable business model in the holistic sense . Renewable energy , electric vehicles and remote technologies are more efficient , safer and cleaner .
