Sustainability & Community

Our Commitment to Responsible Mining

At Synterra, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is at the core of how we operate. We believe that mining must balance economic value creation with environmental stewardship and long-term community development. By re-mining tailings and brownfield assets, we reduce the need for disruptive greenfield projects while rehabilitating landscapes that have been scarred by historic operations. Our commitment is built around three pillars: Environmental Care, Community Partnerships, and Health & Safety.Together, these ensure that our projects deliver shared value for all stakeholders — investors, employees, host communities, and future generations.

Environmental Care

 

Mining tailings and brownfield sites come with a legacy of environmental impact. Synterra’s strategy directly addresses this challenge by reprocessing old dumps and returning land to productive use.

  • Reducing Environmental Footprint: Unlike greenfield mining, re-mining tailings requires no new large-scale excavation. This minimizes land disturbance and avoids deforestation or new habitat loss.
  • Restoration and Rehabilitation: Once material is reprocessed, tailings areas can be rehabilitated into safe, usable land for agriculture, community spaces, or ecological recovery.
  • Cleaner Operations: We apply modern technologies and strict environmental controls to reduce emissions, manage dust, and safeguard surrounding water sources.

By turning waste into opportunity, Synterra transforms yesterday’s liabilities into tomorrow’s assets.

Community Partnerships

At the heart of sustainable mining lies the responsibility to ensure that the benefits of resource development are shared with the people who live closest to the operations. Synterra is deeply committed to uplifting host communities and ensuring they thrive alongside our projects. We prioritize local employment and invest in building skills that create not just short-term opportunities but lasting career pathways.At the heart of sustainable mining lies the responsibility to ensure that the benefits of resource development are shared with the people who live closest to the operations.

Our supply chain approach encourages collaboration with local businesses and service providers, generating new streams of economic activity that ripple throughout regional economies. Beyond jobs and commerce, we actively contribute to community development through social investments, infrastructure support, and initiatives that improve the overall quality of life. Schools, healthcare, clean water, and public amenities are all part of the legacy we aim to leave behind.

Our vision is that long after mining has ceased, the communities we partner with will remain stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the future.

Health & Safety

The safety and well-being of every person connected to our work is paramount. Synterra maintains the highest standards of occupational health and safety, embedding rigorous procedures and training into every level of operation.

Employees and contractors are equipped with modern protective tools, continuous monitoring systems, and the knowledge needed to work safely in even the most challenging environments. We hold ourselves to international best practices, ensuring that our operations are transparent, accountable, and aligned with globally recognized benchmarks.

Our goal is simple but uncompromising: zero harm. Every individual has the right to return home safely at the end of each shift, and our culture of care ensures that safety is never compromised in the pursuit of production.

Vision for Sustainable Mining

Synterra is redefining what it means to operate gold projects in Africa. Our vision is a future where mining is not extractive but restorative, where the pursuit of economic gain is inseparable from the healing of the land and the empowerment of communities. Through modern recovery methods, responsible stewardship, and a deep commitment to sustainability, we are building a model that proves profitability and regeneration can coexist

Every ounce of gold produced by Synterra carries with it more than financial value—it represents restored ecosystems, empowered communities, and a safer, more sustainable future. Our work today ensures that the benefits of mining extend far beyond the present moment, creating lasting value for generations to come.
