Our Communities, Safety & Health

Our Communities

Xanadu is a responsible corporate citizen and actively supports the communities in which we live and work. All personnel are expected to uphold the Company’s commitment to pursue good corporate citizenship while engaging in its corporate activity. The Company supports and encourages its people to actively contribute to the needs of the community.

We are committed to supporting our host communities through our Sustainability Policy. Through our Policy, we aim to:

  • Respect and protect the human rights of our employees, contractors, suppliers and community members.
  • Build a workforce representing the communities in which we operate to attract and retain the right people.
  • Deliver benefits to host communities in a manner that supports and respects their rights and aspirations.
  • Honour cultural heritage, customs and traditions of people touched by our activities.
  • Engage openly, honestly and regularly with our host governments and communities and consider their views in our decision-making.

Case Studies

Xanadu’s protection of its people during the COVID-19 pandemic

The impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt throughout the world and in Mongolia. Xanadu continues to evaluate the risk to our people as well as our operations and seeks to minimise the impact through well-established risk based practices and procedures.

Mongolia saw a rapid increase in infections in Q1 of 2021, and in response, Xanadu accelerated efforts to vaccinate employees at the Kharmagtai camp through a partnership with local hospitals. This approach resulted in 100% vaccination of employees and contractors by the end of Q2 2021. In parallel with this, an isolation and medical triage capacity was set up at Kharamagtai, which successfully limited infections on site and enabled personnel who did contract COVID-19 to receive immediate treatment and safely isolate until they were able to return to their homes and work. With these actions, Xanadu has been able to protect its people at the same time as it continues uninterrupted operations.

Supporting the development of local medical facilities

Access to quality medical treatment is critical in sparsely populated places like the Gobi Desert

The Tsogtsetsii hospital, approximately 90km away from Kharamgtai, serves 7,300 residents and is one of the closest facilities to the Company’s Kharamgtai operation. Xanadu has a cooperation agreement in place with the Tsogtsetsii hospital, both to ensure quality care for Xanadu employees and contractors if required, but also to support a facility that serves the community over a large region. During 2021, Xanadu funded the renovation of the hospital reception area, which helps it maintain a high standard of service for the local community and for our employees and contractors.

Building Up the Local Education Infrastructure

Xanadu aims to focus its community expenditure on education and economic development of the people where we operate.

One of our key education achievements in 2021 was the refurbishment and outfitting of a classroom at a kindergarten in the regional Kharmagtai district.

This facility admits 230 children between 2-5 years old, with 8 classes and 35 instructors.

By providing a new classroom, furniture, fittings and toys, Xanadu helps the development of our youngest stakeholders as well as their parents who depend on the facility and the education it provides.

This was achieved in partnership with the local government and highlights the Company’s ability to work together both with regional government as well as local communities.

Educational assistance

Xanadu acknowledges the importance of developing our communities through supporting education of youth as they make the transition from school into the working economy.

This enables younger generations to develop their skills, explore opportunities, and help give back to their communities.

Each year Xanadu provides tertiary education support to our host communities through scholarships. Students are encouraged to attend different universities and fields of study, such as engineering, medicine, accountancy and sciences.

During 2021, Xanadu supported 26 children across Kharmagtai and Red Mountain regions to attend university, an incremental increase from 2020.

In addition we grant internships to those who wish to develop experience or employment in the mining industry. We are committed to continue our investment in education, which helps improve the economic development and future of our host communities.
