EUROPE remotely and we soon realised we needed to be talking face-to-face with people in the community . It really paid dividends for us and gave us far more credibility as an organisation .”
In addition to the strong support of local communities , Dundee ’ s approach has garnered the support of other like – minded partners : In 2016 the European Bank of Reconstruction Development ( EBRD ) invested slightly more than $ 43 million in the company and noted at the time that the “ partnership will enable us to work together to further raise standards in the mining sector , focusing on innovation , sustainability and employment opportunities ”.
While Chelopech is not the company ’ s only operation , it is a cornerstone of Dundee Precious Metals ’ vision of delivering superior value through innovation and strong partnerships .
Innovation is key to Chelopech as the company has invested heavily in developing the mine to be one of the most digitally enabled mining operations in the industry today .
Dundee Precious Metals implemented a ubiquitous wireless network throughout the mine , as well as innovative hardware solutions that send execution information from the underground mine directly to the surface to capture , monitor and gain valuable insights .
