Leone Rock Metal Group (LRMG), through its Community Department, recently held a high-profile engagement with key stakeholders in Constituency 074, Lokomasama, and Kamasondo Chiefdom in Port Loko District.
The meeting aimed to update the community on three major projects the company is currently undertaking to enhance transparency and foster community development.
The session was attended by the two Members of Parliament representing the constituency, the Regent Chief, prominent stakeholders, and youth representatives from Kamasondo Chiefdom. The company reaffirmed its commitment to completing three significant community projects within six months. These projects include the construction of the Pepel Community Center, SLMB Primary School, and the town field.
As a responsible mining company, LRMG prioritizes community involvement and ensures that residents are well-informed about ongoing initiatives aimed at addressing their needs. This gathering served as a platform for dialogue, reinforcing the company’s dedication to sustainable development in its operational areas.
In addition to providing project updates, the company also demonstrated its appreciation for community-led initiatives. As a token of recognition, LRMG presented 30,000 NLe to the women who participated in a recent township cleaning exercise in Pepel. This gesture was aimed at encouraging and bolstering community-driven efforts towards environmental sanitation and sustainability.
The Manager for Community and Security Affairs, Alhaji Mohamed Turay, provided further insights into the company’s broader development plans for its operational communities. His remarks highlighted the company’s strategy for fostering long-term growth and collaboration with local stakeholders.
The engagement was met with enthusiasm from community leaders, who expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to discuss issues related to sustainability and development.
