SUNDANCE RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 33
A road safety awareness program was introduced
to the communities surrounding Cameroon’s Mbalam
Project area. The objective is to sensitise local
populations on current and forthcoming road hazard
and risks of the road leading into and out of the mine
site operations and provide tools and advice on road
safety to the communities.
Sundance recognises its responsibilities to a large
number of stakeholders, particularly those in the
vicinity of the Mbalam-Nabeba Iron Ore Project, and
continues to be vigorously committed to maximising
the benefits of the Project to all stakeholders.
The establishment of co-operative and mutually
beneficial relationships with all of our partners will
ensure the long term success of the Project and
is therefore considered essential. To that extent,
during the year a number of stakeholder engagement
meetings were held in the vicinity of the Mbalam-
Cam Iron CEO, Serge Asso’o addressing the local administrative authorities, traditional chiefs and villagers at a

around the development of the Project and working
collaboratively to understand their needs and
expectations.
Congo Iron has also continued its partnership
with the local community Radio Benie to keep
surrounding communities informed on the Project
and to advertise all recruitment opportunities to
support local employment through the local
region’s radio station.
