We recognise miners and explorers have an important role to play in contributing to sustainable economic social development in and around local communities. To play that role, Golden West Resources needs to ensure its economic success.
The Company needs to be seen to be successful in attracting capital to develop the resources, in providing a fair and equitable return to investors in the form of profits, through engaging with local suppliers and providing employment opportunities for local community members.
As an emerging producer, Golden West's contribution to economic development will impact the full hierarchy of communities, from the township (and broader Shire) of Wiluna, and beyond.
Economic contributions can flow from both the taxes and royalties paid to the Australian and Western Australian Governments, through to the "downstream" benefits resulting from our financial contributions to local business through our presence in communities.
