Community
Engagement with the local communities in the areas in which we operate is important to the overall success of St Barbara. Consultation with key stakeholders on the Company’s activities has expanded in line with growing mining activities at Southern Cross and Leonora.
At Leonora, the Company continued to support the Leonora district by sponsoring the Leonora Foundation Day and providing funding for the development of a purpose built learning centre at the local kindergarten.
St Barbara has been a sponsor of the Songroom initiative at the Leonora District School, to stimulate creativity, enhance learning and self-esteem, thereby encouraging greater participation in the school and community.
At Southern Cross, the Company together with the local school undertook a tree planting/rehabilitation programme at one of the Company’s projects.
