CSR Statement
AVANTI'S COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE MINING
The following concepts will guide Avanti's actions during the development and operations of the Kitsault Molybdenum mine in British Columbia.
- Respecting and working collaboratively with the Nisga'a Nation is key to our success.
- Applying the most appropriate environmental management systems through all stages of mine development; construction, production and reclamation is the standard we choose to pursue.
- Pursuit of continuous improvements in environmental and safety performance is an ongoing objective.
- Creating long-lasting social and economic benefits for the communities in which we operate is the legacy we will strive for.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
When operating, Kitsault will provide over 350 full-time jobs. Avanti will implement a hiring policy that offers equal employment opportunities without discrimination based on gender or age but will favor local workers over those outside the region. With our educational partners, we will provide training and education programs to develop a skilled pool of employees, providing long-term, sustainable benefits to the community and its members. Through ongoing and collaborative working relationships, we will build a foundation that can support future economic opportunities in the region.
Permitting Efforts
We will strive to re-permit the mine in a timely manner by working closely with all appropriate government agencies and with the Nisga'a Lisims Government.
