Located in Zambia on the Copperbelt Province and in Lufwanyama District, the company has been incorporated as part of the Grizzly Group of Companies since 1997. Grizzly Mining Limited is known for mining ‘Grade A’ emeralds and beryl in large quantities and has become a major player in the global gemstone market. Since its inception, Grizzly Mining Limited has built its reputation on providing and
maintaining the highest quality standards across its supply chain of superior gemstones. The company’s mission is to become the best emerald producer, while placing people at the core of its purpose. It aims to contribute to the local economy and carry out its operations in a responsible manner. Grizzly Mining Limited strives to maximise the creation of sustainable and shared value for its shareholders, stakeholders, and the society in which it operates. Grizzly Mining Limited is also committed to achieving the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance in its daily operations. As such, the company promotes trust and transparency in its governing practices and hosts its emerald auction sales locally when possible. Occasionally, when they occur outside the country, the relevant Zambian organisations, such as Zambia Revenue Authority and Ministry of Mines, are fully involved to aid transparency. For Grizzly Mining Limited, safety is an utmost priority. The company is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of all individuals affected by its activities, including the company’s employees, contractors, and the local population. Grizzly Mining Limited devotes many of its resources to providing world-renowned safety measures for all its employees, including investing in SHEQ matters (Safety, Health, and Environment). This dedication was recognised by a host of independent regulators who awarded the company the ‘Environmental Award for Overall Contribution to Sound Management Practices in the Industry’ in 2010. As a mining company, Grizzly Mining Limited is conscious of its impact on the environment and the local community. By working with its peers, partners and numerous stakeholders, the company aims to mitigate accidents and negative impact on the environment. This is done through the continuous promotion of responsible practices, while upgrading its operational policies. Furthermore, Grizzly Mining Limited provides equal employment opportunities in all aspects of employment by applying fair labour practices and respecting the national and local laws of the countries and communities where it operates.
