      abstract = {Mining companies’ main business is to focus on their
core  expertise — best-practice mining development
and operation.  Resolute Mining Limited has over two
decades of expertise,  and is one of the largest gold
producers listed on the  Australian Stock Exchange. In
Africa we mine, or have  mined, in Mali, Tanzania and
Ghana, and have explored in  Côte d’Ivoire. We have an
underground operation at  Ravenswood in Queensland.
Mining companies often need to  focus on community
development in the region of a mine  because that forms
a key plank of harmonious operations,  and Resolute has a
strong history in this respect also.  Agriculture is only one of the important
components in  partnering with communities. Health and education are
other  examples of community development that can be advanced  through
mining company inputs, both in the local area and  via taxes and royalties
to the country’s government. There  are multiple opportunities for mining
companies in Africa,  depending on the country and area of operation.
Although it  takes persistence and effort to be successful with  these
opportunities, mining companies offer a  cost-effective platform for others
to continue and build  on.},
