Listen first
Before decisions are made, we seek to understand community priorities, concerns and aspirations through genuine, open dialogue.
Community
Communities are partners, not bystanders
Sankofa Mining Resources Limited is committed to the host communities connected to our work — through local employment, skills development, transparent engagement and long-term partnership.
Our Commitment
A long-term commitment to host communities
Mining activity has a footprint. We believe that footprint should leave communities stronger — economically, socially and environmentally — than before our work began.
We approach community engagement as a continuous, long-term relationship rather than a series of consultations. Communities are partners in the value a project can create.
Our commitment is rooted in respect for people, customs and institutions. We listen before decisions are made and hold ourselves accountable to our commitments.
Respect
For people, customs and traditional institutions.
Partnership
Communities as partners in shared value.
Transparency
Open communication throughout the project life cycle.
Enduring value
Capability and benefit that outlast the mining cycle.
Engagement Principles

Share information openly

Long-term value
We invest in capability, employment and partnerships that outlast the mining cycle itself.
