Community Relations
BMC has strong ties to the community that surrounds the KZK Project, with initiatives that invite participation in development opportunities for long-term mutually beneficial advancements.
BMC’s community philosophy is centred on:
- Investing real money in the ground with local involvement
- Advancing BMC projects while being sensitive to local matters and First Nation’s interests
- Expand resources with development and step out drilling
- Final design and operating philosophy at all stages to be responsibly designed, and to leave a positive legacy
That philosophy is based on a series of solid commitments, and an understanding of the actions we need to take to deliver real outcomes.
Commitments achieved through:
- Building and maintaining strong community relationships
- Ensuring holistic approach is taken to understand local issues when decision making
- Establishing business alliances, employment and practical training initiatives in the workplace
- Emphasise cross cultural awareness, providing induction, training and education in local Indigenous culture and work-place relationships
