MINING through additional tax payments .
As well as this , the company has cemented itself as one of the key drivers of employment in the Boké region , currently standing as the largest employer in the country after the state .
By upgrading its facilities , CBG hopes to hire an extra 1,300 employees during construction and over 230 permanent employees during operations .
These are impressive statistics , but beyond the figures , it is clear that CBG is having a profound and meaningful impact on the lives of everyday people in Guinea ’ s mining communities .
Indeed , since 2010 , the mining giant has partnered with local communities to help promote the creation , training , and supervision of very small enterprises ( VSEs ), especially if these are in areas such as sanitation , public works , rehabilitation , and reforestation .
To date , this policy has created a dozen VSEs in the Sangaredi and Kamsar region . In doing so it has helped to employ over 950 people and , perhaps more importantly , it has assisted in creating social security and peace in the area .
