Meetings with the international consulting company SRK Consulting continue

As previously reported, on January 23-26, 2023, there are being held meetings of the management and specialists of Joint Stock Company Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company with representatives of the international consulting company SRK Consulting at the company’s Head Office.

The overall strategy for the development and implementation of the “Roadmap” to bring the activities of JSC NMMC into line with the Principles of Responsible Gold Mining of the World Gold Council and the International Cyanide Management Code are being discussed at the meetings.

On January 25, a meeting was held on the topic “Social issues: health protection of the local population, human rights and conflicts, labor relations, work with local communities”. At the meeting, the consultants noted that one of the main Principles of Responsible Gold Mining (RGMP) is human rights. The Interim Report on the first audit that has been completed to date has shown that achieving compliance with the above principle requires full compliance with the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the Voluntary Principles for Safety and Human Rights, and the Standard on non-engagement in gold mining conflicts.

It should be noted that the outcome of the discussions of the overall strategy between representatives of the company and the consulting company SRK Consulting, which have already taken place and will continue on January 26, will be the adoption of the Roadmap to bring the activities of JSC NMMC in line with international standards.
