Achieving Poverty Alleviation through Joint Mining Cooperatives

Many mining operations in African and Arab countries still employ traditional manual methods with rudimentary equipment, lacking proper safety measures and tools, which poses significant risks. Further compounded by insufficient exploration investment and mineral processing technology, this results in low mining efficiency.

To address these challenges, Silk Road Mineral Exploration SARL (SRME) has mobilized local miners to form cooperatives, providing them with essential support resources such as technical consulting, mining equipment, and trade facilitation. This initiative aims to increase the income of local mining families, improve their standard of living, and contribute to poverty alleviation efforts in the region. Through this comprehensive approach, SRME seeks to enhance operational safety, productivity, and the overall well-being of mining communities.
