As the majority of our workforce comes from local communities, self-sufficient communities where people's economic needs are met are important for providing a stable workforce and ensuring a favorable environment for business activities. For this reason, a leading issue for all communities near our mine operations is the creation of new opportunities for economic development. Our programs are directed at building capacity to address existing economic drivers, such as agriculture and local business development. Other initiatives are aimed at promoting economic diversification, with a particular focus on building the capacity of women. In 2022, CMOC invested approximately RMB 20.5 million in projects directed towards economic development and the enhancement of livelihoods.
