Mining operations can inadvertently lead to damage to community property, manifesting either abruptly or gradually over time. One of the potential consequences is the development of cracks in structures due to ground vibrations and air blasts generated during mining blasts. Oval Mining, recognizing the importance of addressing such issues promptly, has established a proactive system to respond to community concerns and mitigate the impact on local properties.
Upon being informed by the community about residences near the mining site exhibiting structural cracks, Oval Mining swiftly deployed a team to evaluate the scope of the damage. The on-site inspection revealed that the properties in question belonged to Mr. Siwale, a community member of Kanakantapa resettlement and a teacher’s house at Evergreen Primary School, both residing in close proximity to the mine.
The houses had developed cracks on their walls threatening their structural integrity. Taking action, Oval Mining demonstrated its dedication to responsible mining practices by repairing and rehabilitating the damaged houses. This not only rectified the immediate issue but also showcased the mining company’s commitment to being a responsible corporate entity, actively engaged in resolving challenges faced by the local community.
The positive response from Mr. Siwale, who appreciated the mine for its quick intervention and commitment to assisting the community, highlights the impact of responsible and responsive corporate practices on fostering goodwill within the community. This acknowledgment serves as a demonstration of Oval Mining’s genuine concern for the well- being of the residents in the areas where it operates.
