Thriving communities
Kenmare’s mining concession occupies 34,000 hectares of coastal area, where approximately 45,000 people live in the localities directly or indirectly affected by mining activities.
The Company understands that effective relationships with its host communities are critical to its licence to operate and it works closely with them to improve local facilities and opportunities. In 2004 Kenmare established the Kenmare Moma Development Association (KMAD), which works with communities, local authorities, and NGO partners to deliver development programmes and projects.
