Community

Proactive, healthy interaction with the communities impacted by the Company’s exploration and development programs is an important part of the long-term investment strategy for Guyana.

Though early stages of airborne exploration have a minimal impact on communities, this changes once targets are identified and evaluation and development programs are implemented.

The Company recognizes that from the inception of the program, and as the project progresses it will be important to:

• Communicate and interact proactively with any community and role player that may be affected by its programs,
• Inform and obtain buy-in with any stakeholders that may be impacted by exploration, evaluation and development.

The Company will work closely with Government authorities, other elected parties, non-governmental organizations, and the communities themselves to in order to ensure transparency regarding the Company’s activities and ensure community impact is kept to a minimum.

Prior to implementing any drilling, evaluation and other such programs, the Company will endeavor to identify the impact of the proposed activities and determine how to best manage them to minimize negative impacts and maximize potential benefits at affected communities.
