Ridgeback Increases Shareholding in Sierra Leone Joint Venture Company, Ridgeback Mining Sierra Leone Limited (RMSL)
May 18, 2011
Ridgeback Global Resources Plc. (“Ridgeback”), today announced an increase in its shareholding in the Sierra Leone Joint Venture Company, Ridgeback Mining Sierra Leone (RMSL), from 40% to 50%.
RMSL was been formed in collaboration with Ridgeback Global Resources’ local partner, Mr. Tom Tucker, for the purpose of the ownership, financing, development and commercialization of three alluvial diamond and gold mining concessions in the Kono District, Sierra Leone.
The increased shareholding by Ridgeback represents an agreement with RMSL shareholders to adopt a long term philanthropic strategy in Sierra Leone as well as assume control over the future marketing of the diamonds and gold once in full production. Ridgeback’s board see this as an essential part of the Company’s mining development strategy in Sierra Leone and look forward to implementing the planned roll out of all mining and associated philanthropic operations.
Ridgeback’s Director, Charmaine King, has spent the past 12 months developing relations and an understanding of the needs of the people in Sierra Leone with special attention on developing a sustainable and socially responsible investment strategy within Sierra Leone.
Charmaine King comments, “Ridgeback’s marketing team will promote self sufficiency in their philanthropic endeavors in Sierra Leone, never removing the human respect from an individual or the desire to achieve. We wish to provide employment with assistance to excellent health and nutrition and never remove the self-esteem or the cultural values of the people.” Charmaine continues, “Programs will include ‘Doctors Without Borders,’ focusing on the grave need for medical attention for the women of childbearing age as this social group has the highest death rate (prenatal as well as during and post natal) in Sierra Leone. Other social investment programs will focus on vision and other basic medical needs including financial support for Hospitals and on-site medical clinics providing valuable medical assistance to the mining communities surrounding the Ridgeback mining sites.”
