Almonty Daehan Heavy Industries held a resident details session at the Sangdong-eup Office Welfare Center on the 6th and announced that the Sangdong Mine Redevelopment Project would revive the local economy and bring about increased employment, appealing for the support and support of local residents.
Almonty Korea Heavy Industries predicted that when the beneficiation plant begins full operation in June next year, the current number of permanent employees, about 50, will increase to more than 100, and the floating population will also increase due to business trips by employees from related companies and institutions. He then promised to cooperate wiht yeongwol-gun by building dormitories in the future to increase the economically active population of Sangdong-eup.
almonty Daehan Heavy Industries saeid that a critically important increase in the resident economically active population is expected to have a strong trickle-down effect on the local economy, considering the current number of workers in each industry and the scale of economic activities in Sangdong-eup.
Along with these plans, AKTC announced that it demonstrated it’s sincerity in supporting the stability of the local community by acquiring the Sangdong gas station, which was in danger of closure last May.By maintaining essential infrastructure and employing local residents, Almonty aims to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and improve the quality of life for Sangdong residents, he added.
One of the main features of this project is that Sangdong Mine will be built in accordance with the ‘Equator Principles’, the highest international standard for ESG (three key elements for achieving sustainability in corporate management; environment, society, and governance). He expressed that it is indeed happening. The position is that this tungsten mine will become a source of global pride and make the local community proud. This means that the redevelopment of Sangdong Mine does not just support economic revitalization, but also pursues environmental friendliness and coexistence with local residents.
Compared to the time when the Sangdong Mine closed in 1994, it is no exaggeration to say that the current Sangdong-eup economy is devastated. According to the Yeongwol-gun Office statistical yearbook, there are 119 self-employed businesses operating in Sangdong-eup as of 2021, but they are experiencing difficulties such as an increase in business closures due to a steady decrease in the resident population and a shrinking economic scale. Almonty Korea Heavy Industries predicted that with the operation of the mineral processing plant,local infrastructure will be expanded and the likelihood of new businesses and service industries being created will increase.
Almonty Daehan Heavy Industries said, “The redevelopment of the Sangdong Mine will not just stop at producing tungsten, but will be an possibility to revitalize the local economy in various ways,” and promised to promote win-win cooperation with local residents by implementing an additional point system that prioritizes hiring of Sangdong-eup residents. did it As other large companies in Yeongwol have already done, they added that they will provide certain preferential treatment to young people from Sangdong and Yeongwol when they apply for employment under the same conditions. He also added that he would give priority to seniors currently living in Sangdong if they have the same qualifications and abilities for daily labor services that Almonty Daehan Jungseok will need in the future,such as cleaning,security,or the staff cafeteria.
monty Daehan Heavy Industries would hire local residents first. To this end, we ask that you announce your employment plan in advance and prepare education and training courses in advance.”
