Kuvimba Mining House (Kuvimba) has launched its annual sustainability campaign, which aims to improve the environment in its operating areas.
Kuvimba Group chief executive Trevor Barnard said the miner will work in collaboration with local communities to realise intergenerational environmental sustainability.
“We are strongly committed to preserving the environment and protecting communities in our operational areas. I am delighted to launch the Restoring Nature, Securing Tomorrow initiative, where we build our operations and support our teams to foster environmental stewardship,” he said at the launch of the campaign at Kuvimba’s subsidiary, Freda Rebecca Gold Mine.
At Freda Rebecca Gold Mine, over 10 000 trees have been planted since January 2025 around the tailings storage facility, a mining structure used to store waste materials after mineral extraction.
Freda Rebecca Gold Mine managing director Patrick Shayawabaya said the exercise will be rolled out in all Kuvimba’s subsidiaries.
“This will go to all our other operations, we cleared vegetation, we removed crop soil, and we disturbed the natural environment, even though we can never completely restore this area to what it was before, that would have been an effort to restore the vegetation,” he said.
Kuvimba is a mining conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of mines in gold, platinum group metals, energy, and bulk commodities clusters.
