The Murowa diamond mine
Although the Murowa diamond mine is a small-scale operation, the impact of the mine on the community was recognised at the outset and consultation and community engagement have been key factors in this project.
Our commitment to sustainable development at Murowa meant ensuring that the footprint of the mine was kept to a minimum.
Resettlement
Recognising that the area of the mine was already populated, Murowa collaborated with local communities to resettle 141 families.
The communities
Working with local leaders, Murowa developed the five-year Communities Action Plan to support and develop local communities over the life of the mine.
Looking ahead
Murowa continues to work towards the sustainable development of its operations, to ensure that the rights of the surrounding community are protected and that the mine's impact on the environment is minimised.
