DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS
80 is born through stakeholder relationships and he identifies the local community as a key stakeholder .
This is echoed by Lindsay . “ It ’ s doing well by doing good . So , if we do the right things in the communities and the countries that we work in then we will succeed as a business . This is a progressive and a credible company that ’ s going to benefit communities and that allows us to grow .”
A mining company can walk the talk with regards to having a social licence to operate , but it has to be able to point to some considerable successes or achievements that prove it is delivering on its promises .
For Dundee Precious Metals , the most convincing proof that it is indeed doing things right is the company ’ s Krumovgrad development project in south-eastern Bulgaria . With the company targeting first gold production
“ THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE OTHER SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES , NOT JUST THAT VILLAGE , HAS BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT
IN THIS JOURNEY WHICH IS AT THE VERY CORE OF OUR STRATEGY ”
