Base-Titanium Hosts Media Tour, Showcasing Sustainability Amid Closure
By MKT Correspondent
Base Titanium, a Kenyan mining company, recently hosted media representatives at their Kwale Mine site to provide an in-depth tour of their operations. The visit aimed to provide transparency and reflection on the project’s impact as it approaches its final phase.
The tour showcased key aspects of Base Titanium’s operations, including their indigenous tree nursery, which highlights their commitment to reforestation and environmental sustainability.
The company’s External Affairs General Manager, Simon Wall, emphasized that processing and transporting minerals will continue, along with significant environmental rehabilitation efforts that still need to be addressed.
Wall said that they are working with NITA as part of the plan to transition their staff away from employment with Base Titanium on the recognition of the prior learning programme.
Base Titanium’s Environment Manager, Nick Okello, stated that they are actively working on rehabilitation efforts while closely monitoring key environmental factors.
They have rehabilitated more than 500 hectares in the southern dune, 250 in the central dune, and 250 in the Northern Dune.
The company employs two methods of rehabilitation: land shaping to ensure proper drainage and applying top soil to assess nutrient deficiencies.
Over the next 5 to 10 years, these efforts are expected to restore the land to a state comparable to nearby biodiversity.
The tour also included visits to several community projects that Base Titanium has implemented in partnership with the CDAC Committees, such as the Chigombero Early Childhood Development Centre and the newly constructed dormitories at Msambweni Boys Secondary School.
