The sustainability of Jubilee’s operations depends on sound corporate governance principles that encompass environmental responsibility and mutually respectful relations with its host communities and governments.
Jubilee appreciates the importance of community consultation and facilitates the involvement and awareness of relevant communities and their representatives when undertaking any exploration or development activity.
In South Africa, the Company liaises fully with the Limpopo Heritage Resource Agency (LHRA) in respect of its drilling activity. This is in keeping with the provincial heritage status accorded to the Tjate valley, a part of which encompasses a portion of one of the three farms (Dsjate 249KT) that make up the Tjate Project licence area. The Company also liaises with the Tjate Traditional Authority and its Tjate community through the registered Tjate Community Trust, which the Company helped set up, in respect of social, employment and project awareness issues.
Jubilee has completed an environmental base line study on the Tjate project and a review of the provincial heritage status of the Tjate area in relation to the development of the project. Phase 2 of its 3-phase feasibility study is underway and the Company is in the process of applying to the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) for a Mining Right. The Company’s converted prospecting right includes all platinum group metals, gold ore, nickel ore, copper ore, chrome ore and cobalt ore.
To the extent they are applicable to the Company, the Board in regard to the Company’s Australian subsidiary Braemore Nickel (Pty) Ltd, has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
Jubilee believes that long-term success hinges on sustainable development, which benefits everyone - the business, society and environment. To this end, Jubilee has adopted a policy of responsible, proactive environmental management and works hard to ensure compliance with relevant legislative obligations in the course of any exploration activities. In Madagascar, our drilling programme complies fully with the environmental terms of reference stipulated in the permit (Cahier des Charges) issued by the governmental Office National pour l'Environnement (ONE), to our subsidiary exploration company Mineral Resources of Madagascar.
Jubilee’s corporate objective is to create long-term value through the discovery, development and conversion of natural resources and the provision of innovative customer and market-focused solutions. In pursuing the corporate objective, we have committed to the highest level of governance and strive to foster a culture that values and rewards exemplary ethical standards, personal and corporate integrity and respect for others. Our approach to governance is predicated on the belief that there is a link between high-quality governance and the creation of shareholder value. Our expectations of our employees and those to whom we contract business are set out in our Code of Business Conduct.
The Company remains committed to delivering excellent results for shareholders while at the same time ensuring that its economic success is balanced alongside its environmental and social responsibilities. Through a proactive policy of self-regulation, legislative compliance and community involvement, Jubilee is working hard to deliver on its short- and long-term business objectives while ensuring that relevant social and environmental considerations are included as part of any decision-making process. Jubilee will continue its policy of sustainable development in the interests of meeting the expectations of its shareholders without compromising the health or vitality of both the natural and social environment.
