Calibre Launches Film on Sustainability Initiatives in Nicaragua and Remains Committed to the World Gold Council Responsible Gold Mining Principles
December 13 2022 - 06:00AM
Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF)
(“Calibre” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the release of
a film about the Company’s approach to key principles of
sustainability. The documentary addresses some of the core
challenges facing our society and planet, including community
health, biodiversity, and the restoration of fresh water sources in
our forests. It highlights how Calibre is working in alliance with
the Centre for an Understanding with Nature (“CEN”), an
environmental organization with over 30 years experience in rural
and indigenous communities in Nicaragua and Latin America, to
overcome these challenges.
We are also pleased to announce the completion
of the Year Two Statement of Progress toward conforming to the
World Gold Council (“WGC”) Responsible Gold Mining Principles
(“RGMPs”). Calibre joined the WGC in August 2020, with a commitment
to align with their Principles (see our Sustainability Report dated
June 2021).
Calibre’s RGMP self-assessment was completed in
August 2022 and included a year-2 re-evaluation of conformance of
our Nicaraguan assets and a year-1 assessment of conformance of our
Pan Mine (see the Statement of Progress Report here). In addition,
an independent third-party assurance report (found here) determined
that during this time, Calibre complied with the WGC year-2
requirements as established in the RGMP assurance framework.
Darren Hall, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “As a natural
resource-based company, at Calibre we are aware of our
socio-environmental responsibility. For this reason, we are
advancing initiatives to protect our environment and strengthen the
resilience of our communities. As seen in the short film, we feel
that our partnership with CEN exemplifies how social and
environmental responsibility is one of our core values.
“Calibre is committed to ensuring that our
contribution to sustainability remains meaningful in a continuous
effort to make the gold mining industry a sustainable practice. In
March 2022, we launched a Five-Year Sustainability Strategy
(2022-2026) (see news release dated March 15, 2022), forging a
connection between Calibre and our partners’ internal responsible
business practices, their contributions to the sustainability of
our host communities, and global efforts to safeguard the future of
our planet. As we progress toward improved sustainability, we
remain dedicated to full conformance with the RGMPs within the WGC
three-year time frame.”
Petri Salopera, Vice President,
Sustainability of Calibre, stated: “At Calibre,
sustainability is at the center of our way of doing business and
fundamental to our long-term success. We are proud of the
achievements announced today and of our partnership with CEN, and
we are grateful for the opportunity to share these achievements
through this documentary film.”
