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 (Tjate 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 establish, in respect of social, employment and project awareness issues.
Jubilee’s appointment to the Tjate Board of historically disadvantaged South African (HDSA) non-executive directors, whose responsibilities include liaising with the Tjate community, bolsters the Company’s commitment to the principles of the Mining Charter and community consultation.
