Owere Mines protects productivity
Great that Signature are giving something back to the community in the region, the last Quarterly gave a good account of their contributions to date:
COMMUNITY
The Company continues to be active in the communities close to the Konongo Gold Project as part of its commitment to assist in the development of the area.
During the quarter a new ablution block was completed at the Konongo Police Station, a project substantially assisted by the Company.
Other projects include using the Company�s equipment
and expertise to maintain the municipal water dam and construct retaining walls near the Zongo primary school to prevent flooding. The school is located in a low lying area and tuition is often cancelled in the wet season. In addition competitions were run in local schools aimed at
supporting traditional Ashanti culture with outstanding achievers to be rewarded with assistance with their further education.
Some footballs and football jerseys were also presented to the education service for use in developing sport within the schools as well as books to improve the schools library. Representatives of the Company, including the General Manager Roger Bannister and the Managing Director Bill Oliver, had the honour of being presented to Otumfuo Osei Tutu the Second, the traditional ruler of the Ashanti Region, as part of the Akwasidae celebrations in January.
I emailed Roger a few weeks back and told him many shareholders really appreciate what they are doing for the Konongo community.
In my book it's great to see.
