Sustainability & Responsibility

Mining with Purpose. Respecting People and Planet.

At Metro Bullion Inc., sustainability is not just a checkbox — it’s at the core of how we operate. As we build our portfolio of small-scale mines, we are equally focused on creating long-term value for local communities, safeguarding the environment, and ensuring ethical, transparent practices.

We follow global ESG frameworks, adapted to the realities of small-scale operations in emerging markets.

Local Empowerment

We work with, not around, local communities.

Our projects are built in collaboration with artisanal miners, co-operatives, and local governments. We ensure:

  • Fair and formalized partnerships
  • Local employment and training
  • Revenue-sharing models
  • Health and safety programs onsite

We trained 30+ local miners in safer extraction methods using low-impact tools.

Environmental Stewardship

Gold mining with minimal footprint.

Metro Bullion’s strategy uses low-impact, non-cyanide techniques wherever possible and focuses on surface-level sites that don’t require heavy disruption.

Key Commitments:

  • No open-pit operations without local approval
  • Reforestation and site rehabilitation planning
  • Safe tailings and waste management
  • Solar-based power alternatives in remote sites

Target: Achieve 80% solar-supported operations by 2029

Governance & Ethics

We lead with transparency and accountability.

From financial reporting to anti-corruption, our governance model is built to meet the highest standards — even in the most remote regions.

Our Framework Includes:

  • Anti-bribery & anti-corruption policies
  • Transparent contracts and disclosures
  • Independent board-level oversight (in progress)
  • Gender and diversity inclusion standards

We aim to become a model for modern small-scale mining governance in frontier markets.

Aligned with Global Standards

Our principles align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly:

  • Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
  • Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
  • Goal 13: Climate Action
  • Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals

We aim to become a model for modern small-scale mining governance in frontier markets.
