“ It ’ s a priority to make sure all stakeholders of the operation - including employees , the local community and the environment - are taken care of ”
– Chris Buncic service , Ascendant is moving away from working in “ failure mode ” and actively tracking KPIs ( key performer indicators ) related to equipment and making improvements where necessary . This all helps the company to work towards its goal of stability and hitting a production target of 2,200 tons per day or greater .
What lies ahead Buncic expects El Mochito to continue to operate for several more decades , at the very least , just by exploiting the resource already believed to exist . Taking a long view towards the mine ’ s sustainability is why
Ascendant take its corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) so seriously .
“ There were programs in place we ’ re continuing to support ,” says Buncic . “ It ’ s a priority to make sure all stakeholders of the operation - including employees , the local community and the environment - are taken care of . We ’ re supporting locally and nationally with the foundation for CSR in Honduras ; we ’ ve received eight awards for that due to our initiatives at the mine through AMPAC , the company we inherited .
