Local Community
Involvement
Martin ensures a year round income for the village, even in “off season” the village will get a rental income for the storage of the mining equipment.
Clean Drinking Water
This local village in Tanzania never had any clean drinking water until Martin paid six men to dug a well in the hard rock down to six feet below the water table. Now the village got year round clean drinking water.
Feeding the community
Martin don’t feed the local village for a month or two, instead he supply them with bags of Corn Grain to plant their own fields and feed their families for the whole next year.
Local Mining
Mining Support
Martin literally supply mining support to the local artisanal miners, directly or indirectly in the form of food, tools, transport and even basic medical supplies.
Mining Education
Martin recognised a real hunger for mining and gemstone knowledge among the young and upcoming generation of local miners and entrepreneurs. Martin then formed a “Mentor / Educational” group to teach and equip them with “hands-on” local knowledge applicable to their specific mining environment.
