Airstrip Development
With the financial support and encouragement of Resource Mining Corporation, the villagers of Embessa have extended their airstrip to allow small cargo aircraft to use the airstrip.
Resource Mining Corporation personnel co-ordinated airstrip upgrade efforts including the certification of the airstrip.
This facility allows Resource Mining Corporation an alternative point of food and goods delivery to site where local villagers can act as porters to carry the goods to site providing yet another form of income to the villages.
For Resource Mining Corporation the benefits are twofold: an alternative transport means to helicopters and a means of evacuation should this be required.
For the local village, having an active airstrip provides communications and a means for medivac if necessary. Resource Mining Corporation will pay for the regular upkeep of the airstrip.
With all these activities in place Resource Mining Corporation is creating healthier, better educated and more sustainable local communities.
