LXML Sepon is pleased to announce the addition of a new Sandvik jumbo drill rig to the Sepon underground mine. The introduction of this equipment will support Sepon Mine in continuously improving production efficiency, providing strong support for the production targets of 2025 and beyond.

This newly introduced jumbo drill rig is the third piece of equipment of the same model in the Sepon mining area and is expected to bring Sepon's drill rig fleet to an industry-leading equipment availability rate of 85%. The new equipment will ensure the continuous and stable operation of the mining area, thereby guaranteeing the reliability of drilling operations.

With its stability and ease of operation, this jumbo drill rig is perfectly suited to the complex working conditions of the Sepon underground mine, particularly in the water-rich environment. The new equipment is expected to significantly improve underground mining efficiency by allowing earlier access to production areas, which will, in turn, increase ore production upon commissioning and further consolidate production capacity advantages. Furthermore, this decision aligns with our fleet strategy of achieving efficient maintenance through a common model spare parts inventory, ensuring production progress while maintaining operational flexibility.

Sepon is consistently committed to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of mining operations through modern technology and innovative practices.

On April 2, 2025, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) donated the first round of livestock for the year 2025, comprising 171 cattle valued at 930,700,000 Kip, equivalent to approximately US$43,190. This contribution was made to 16 disadvantaged families across 8 villages surrounding the Sepon Mine.

This livestock donation is part of the Fund for Assistance to the Disadvantaged Group (FADG) initiative by LXML. Villagers actively participate in selecting projects, contributing labor, time, and materials toward their implementation. This approach aligns with the company’s commitment to fostering community involvement and ownership among beneficiaries, who must contribute at least 10 percent of the total project cost. Moreover, beneficiary families and village authorities are encouraged to offer innovative ideas during the planning, implementation, and management phases of the projects.

The FADG serves as a sustainable agricultural promotion initiative, primarily focusing on raising laying hens, frogs, goats, and cattle, thereby generating significant income for local communities. It operates through a collaborative partnership between LXML, local government, and village authorities. Essential to the provision of production inputs is the delivery of technical training covering various aspects such as feeding techniques (for both primary and supplementary feed), vaccinations, treatments, general livestock management, and ongoing support for the beneficiary families. Additionally, guidance is offered to enhance the understanding of the fund's regulations and management protocols among village authorities and beneficiary families.

The fund provides grant assistance ranging from US$8,000 to US$16,000 per village, contingent on the actual number of households within the target village. Since the fund's inception, LXML has supported over 260 projects across 47 communities, with total funding exceeding US$3.4 million.

On March 10, 2025, LXML’s parent company, Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. (H-share code: 6693; A-share code: 600988), successfully listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This H-share issuance, following the A-share listing, marks another significant breakthrough for the group, signifying a robust step forward in its internationalization strategy and underscoring its unwavering commitment to deepening its presence in the global mining sector.

As the most influential overseas subsidiary within the group, LXML was honored to send distinguished employee representatives to the celebration. During the pivotal gong-ringing ceremony marking the market’s opening, Mr. Phonesavanh Khamvongsa, the mining manager of LXML, served as the sole employee representative of the group, together with Ms. Lydia, Executive Director and CEO of Chifeng Gold, rang the opening bell to commemorate this historic moment. Additionally, Mr. Clayton James, maintenance senior superintendent, and Mr. Xun Yuchen, superintendent - management administrative executive, participated throughout the celebration and gala dinner as employee representatives, reflecting the group’s high regard for the contributions of its grassroots employees.

At the event, Mr. Gao Bo, President of LXML, along with Mr. Zhou Xinbing, VGM, represented Chifeng Golden Group. Furthermore, Mr. Gao, on behalf of Chifeng Gold, donated HKD 3 million to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Charity Fund, actively supporting social welfare initiatives.

The realization of the dual-capital market strategy ("A+H") not only signifies a crucial step for Chifeng Golden in global resource integration and strategic expansion but also injects strong momentum into the future development of LXML. Leveraging the strong capital and resource advantages of its parent company, LXML will further enhance the production potential of the Sepon mining area. This project is expected to generate sustained employment opportunities for the local economy and provide substantial returns for investors, achieving a win-win outcome in terms of corporate value and social benefits.

The Hong Kong IPO raised a total of USD 350 million, with no less than USD 53 million earmarked to support the production operations and capital investments of LXML. Adhering to the principles of sustainable development, LXML’s successful listing not only injects new impetus into technological innovation and the upgrading of collaborative models within the industry but also lays a solid foundation for future growth. We firmly believe that by leveraging the international platform, LXML will play an increasingly leading role in resource extension, community support, and environmental protection.

As a key strategic asset of the group, the Sepon mining area’s potential for enhanced production capacity and cost optimization has garnered extensive attention from the capital market. Looking ahead, we are committed to transparent and efficient operations, continuously creating long-term value for our shareholders, partners, and the local mining community.

On behalf of all members of LXML, we extend our sincerest congratulations to Chifeng Gold. This achievement not only marks a significant milestone in the group’s globalization process but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable development in the mining industry.

Vientiane Capital, Laos, at Laotel Hotel on 27 February 2025, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) has further extended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lao National Defence for the next two years on corporate partnership dedicated toward effective detection and clearance of the Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) around the Sepon mining operation area. This collaborative effort aims to ensure the safety of Company’s employees, contractors, and the local host communities and enhance technical capabilities, ultimately benefiting future generations in Laos. The event co-chaired by Lieutenant General Siphonsay Khamthongveun, Deputy Head of the General Staff Department, and Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML,

The MOU was signed by Colonel Bounsoth Insina, Deputy Director General of the Engineering Department, alongside Mr. Bill Sui, LXML Manager – Supply and Contract. The event was also witnessed by Colonel Patthana Boutichack, Deputy Chief of Office of the General Staff Department, and Mr. Michael Stott, LXML Manager - Mine Technical Services.

UXO clearance is critical to the operational integrity of Sepon mine, located in one of the most heavily bombarded regions of Laos, The UXO remained from the Indochina war which continues to pose significant risks to the lives of local residences. Since beginning operations, LXML has collaborated closely with the Lao Ministry of Defence, the National Regulatory Authority (NRA), and the Lao National Unexploded Ordnance Programme (UXO Lao) to enhance safety standards by applying much dedicated UXO clearance methodologies over the past two decades.

“We are dedicated to removing dangerous obstacles that impede development in Laos,” stated Mr. Saman Aneka. “Our ongoing efforts to enhance the employee’s and community’s safety involve investing in state-of-the-art equipment, improving demining techniques, and raising awareness in partnership with local communities. We are profoundly grateful for the continued support and cooperation of the Lao Ministry of Defence, the NRA, and UXO Lao in undertaking this critical and hazardous work.”

Sepon mine is situated in a remote area facing unique challenges because of its location in one of the most bombed districts of Laos. With an estimated 260 million bombs dropped on the country between 1964 to 1973, approximately 80 million of these munitions failed to detonate, leaving a grim legacy of UXO that continues to threaten lives and hinder development.

Up to date, since the Sepon Mining Operations commenced, LXML has invested over US$ 56 million in UXO clearance, successfully clearing over 6,400 hectares of land and destroying over 60,000 UXO items within and around the Sepon mine.

Recently LXML conducted Supervisor Training - People Safety Module for all LXML supervisors.  This training demonstrated LXML commitment to continually develop our supervisors and provide them with necessary skills to perform their roles. The training provided supervisors with Creating Safe Work Model, pre-start meeting and feedback skills. This module consists of a training workshop and practical logbook, which support participants to develop understanding, practise skills and guide application on the job.

The training took place between September and December 2024 in Sepon Site and Vientiane Office. 265 supervisors across departments completed the training. Participants commented that the course is relevant, practical and support them to perform supervisory roles.

We believe that investing in our supervisors is key to ensuring a safe and productive work environment. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this training happened and completed.

At LXML, safety is our top priority. We are dedicated to upholding a high safety standard, and we encourage all employees to STOP and THINK, ensuring risk assessment and elimination to prevent incidents and safeguard the safety of our workforce.

The company was honoured with two awards: the Top Follower 2024 Award, recognizing its exceptional follower engagement on 108 Jobs, and the Most Active Employer Award, acknowledging its high volume of job postings.

"LXML is proud to be recognized as one of the top 10 best employers in Laos, " said Mrs. Daomany Chanphakeo, Deputy Director of LXML, "We believe that investing in our employees is essential to our success, and we are committed to providing them with opportunities for growth and development."

During a recent meeting, Mr. Bounthanorm Khamkhosy, Senior Superintendent of Human Resources, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the 108 Jobs Team. He acknowledged their invaluable support in the past, recognizing them as LXML's primary partner in promoting job opportunities. He stated, “The 108 Jobs platform has been instrumental in facilitating the company's recruitment efforts.” Furthermore, Mr. Bounthanorm engaged in an open exchange with the 108 Jobs Team, discussing strategies to expand LXML's reach in promoting job vacancies and attracting highly skilled candidates whose qualifications align with the company's requirements, thereby enhancing the overall quality of LXML's workforce.

LXML has made significant investments in human resources development, with a focus on enhancing the skills of its employees.

We are pleased to feature an interview with our graduate metallurgist, Nittayar Louangsombath, who has successfully secured a New Zealand Scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in project engineering management.

Nittayar joined LXML in 2022 as a graduate metallurgist, and throughout her tenure, she has consistently advanced her skills and performance. In 2024, she achieved the distinction of being awarded a New Zealand Scholarship. In recognition of her accomplishments, LXML remains committed to supporting her during her studies.

 Tell us about your background.

I was born and raised in the countryside. After high school, I decided to pursue studies in mineral processing and mining by supporting myself through part-time jobs. Growing up near mines in my hometown sparked my interest in the field, and I was determined to turn that interest into a career.

When did you start working for LXML, and how did you apply to work here?

I originally interned at Sepon mine during my college studies. That experience left a lasting impression because of the supportive environment and hands-on learning opportunities. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I applied to LXML because I wanted to continue building my career with the team that first inspired me. 

What challenges have you faced, and how have you overcome them?

One major challenge I faced was realizing that much of the knowledge required for the job wasn’t taught in school. I had to self-study extensively while learning on the job, which required effective time management. By staying disciplined and seeking help from my team whenever needed, I was able to overcome those initial hurdles. 

How do you gain new skills and work experience? (Include both opportunities within LXML and externally.)

I’ve gained skills and experience in two keyways. First, I’ve learned a great deal from my team at LXML, whose guidance and expertise have been invaluable. Second, I’ve conducted independent research online and applied that knowledge to my work, especially in project-related tasks. This combination of mentorship and self-initiative has been crucial to my professional growth.

What motivates you in your professional development?

I’m highly motivated by the opportunity to solve problems and challenge myself. Seeing a plan come together successfully brings me great satisfaction and drives me to improve continually. I also enjoy learning new things and expanding my skill set, which makes every project and challenge exciting. 

Can you share your experience of successfully applying for a Master of Engineering in Project Management, with financial support from LXML?

I applied for the Master of Engineering in Project Management program through the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship. Once I was accepted, LXML generously offered financial support to help me pursue this opportunity. I am currently in the program and expect to graduate in 2027. 

Tell us about your successful application for the New Zealand Award Scholarship (Master of Engineering in Project Management).

I was thrilled to be accepted and grateful for the opportunity to enhance my skills and contribute more effectively to my field. The support from LXML has also been instrumental in making this dream a reality.

What has been your impression of working at Sepon mine?

Working at Sepon mine has been both challenging and rewarding. The experience has allowed me to grow personally and professionally while working alongside a supportive and knowledgeable team. I’ve also gained a deep appreciation for the mining industry in Laos and the collaborative environment at LXML.

Feel free to add any final thoughts or words.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had at LXML and the chance to pursue my master’s degree with LXML support. These experiences have shaped me into a more confident and capable professional. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the company and growing in my career.

On December 24, 2024, Mrs. Zhou Zhichang, Deputy Director of the Volunteer Management Division at the Center for Language Education and Cooperation, led a team of five to visit LXML's Vientiane office. The team was warmly received by Zhou Xinbing, Vice President of LXML, who conducted a friendly discussion with the visitors.

One of the main objectives of this visit was to gain an in-depth understanding of the collaboration between LXML and Weifang Vocational College in the Chinese Workshop program, analyze the successes and shortcomings in the implementation of the project, and explore ways to further integrate resources to enhance the efficient implementation and development of the project.

Additionally, Mr. Zhou Xinbing provided a detailed introduction to the LXML’s development in Laos and engaged in an in-depth discussion with the visiting team about the demand for Chinese language and professional technical training. They explored how the Chinese Workshop program can better benefit overseas enterprises and increase the program’s global influence. Both sides also discussed the possibility of sending volunteer teachers in the future, with the CLEC aiming to further promote the internationalization of Chinese education through volunteer programs.

This visit strengthened the cooperation between the CLEC and LXML, offering new ideas for optimizing and developing the Chinese Workshop program. The Ministry expressed its commitment to continuing to strengthen cooperation with all parties to promote the vigorous development of the Chinese Workshop program globally.

Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR – Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) participated in a recent public consultation meeting at the central level focused on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report for the Far Western Project, located in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province. The event was organized by the Department of Environment (DoE) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) in collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE) of Savannakhet Province. Chaired by Mr. Phouvong Louangsaysana, Vice Minister of MoNRE, the meeting brought together key stakeholders, including Mr. Kongkeo Meevorachak, Chairman of the National Assembly of Savannakhet Province; Mr. Latsamy Vorlalath, Deputy Director General of DoE; Mr. Sensack Phimvongsa, Director of DoNRE of Savannakhet Province; and Mr. Phaimany Vongsaykham, Vice Governor of Vilabouly District. Representatives from LXML, environmental consulting firms, and both central and local government officials also attended, ensuring a comprehensive dialogue regarding the project's potential impact.

During the meeting, participants reviewed the draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report and the Environmental Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP), discussing critical measures to mitigate potential risks associated with the project. The meeting also included a presentation on the operational Sepon mine, which LXML has successfully managed since 2003. To date, the mine has produced over 1.5 million ounces of gold and 1.1 million tonnes of copper, significantly contributing to the Lao government’s revenue and enhancing socio-economic development within local communities. The Far Western Project aims to expand the mining area by 13.92 km² west of the current concession area, following exploration results indicating economic viability. This project is integral to LXML's ongoing commitment to responsible mining practices that support local employment, training, and community development initiatives.

The chairman stressed the importance of incorporating stakeholder feedback into the final ESIA report and ESMMP before submission to MoNRE for the issuance of an environmental license. Once granted, LXML must strictly adhere to the environmental measures outlined in the approved documents to minimize adverse impacts.

LXML will work closely with environmental consulting partners to ensure that all feedback and insights from the meeting are considered and implemented effectively, setting a strong precedent for sustainable practices in the mining sector across Laos.

The Lao National Day Celebration at LXML was a joyous occasion, reflecting the spirit of unity, diversity, and progress. It is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the Lao People Democratic Republic and renew our commitment to building a brighter future for all.

Mr. Jeremy Davidson, acting general manager of LXML highlighted the significance of the day and the update on Sepon mine operations: “I am pleased to join you today on this important day which is Lao National Day – it is the 49^th anniversary of the Lao PDR and the 69^th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. Over the last 49 years, the Lao PDR has achieved significant socio-economic development and continues to grow. For two decades, LXML Sepon has strongly contributed to the development of the Lao PDR. Under Chifeng’s leadership, we have ensured that these benefits continue to flow and continue to establish a strong socio-economic foundation for the life of mine, and for life beyond mine closure. This year, we have seen some real highlights with the opening of our new mining district in the Far West Prospects and record mining from our underground. However, we have also faced many challenges, with our safety performance far from where we want it to be and gold production not meeting our plans with many challenges with ore grade and recovery. I am sure that the LXML team will overcome these issues with the same positive attitude that has guaranteed our success over more than 20 years.”

The celebration of Lao National Day serves as a reminder of the significant role that LXML plays in the region’s development journey. By aligning its business strategies with the national priorities for economic diversification and community empowerment, LXML is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and a key partner in Laos’s progress. The company looks forward to continuing its collaborative efforts with stakeholders in the years to come, contributing to a prosperous future for all.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) proudly announces its recent initiative to enhance sanitation facilities for ten priority villages surrounding the Sepon Mine as part of the Community Health Impact Assessment Phase Two (HIA 2024) project. A formal handover ceremony took place, attended by LXML’s technical staff, representatives from the Vilaybouly District, the district health office, local village authorities, and community members.

The project focuses on the following ten villages: Kok Mark, Kaeng Lek Neua, Pha Philang, Na Ae, Nong Kapang, Na Mon, Sop Saloung, Salor, Pakoi, and Kalay. The total investment in sanitation equipment amounts to 747,940,000 Kip (approximately US$34,239). Each household within these communities has received a comprehensive set of seven essential items to improve sanitation standards, which include:

1. Three pieces P100 of concrete pipe
2. One toilet seat
3. Four sheets of zinc
4. One box of zinc nails
5. One bag of red cement
6. One ventilation pipe
7. One P100 of concrete pipe cap

This initiative seeks to significantly increase the sanitation usage rate among the communities in Vilabouly District and support the achievement of local health targets. The collective goal is to eliminate open defecation in these villages by the end of 2024. Through a combination of funding, provision of materials, and necessary equipment, LXML is committed to successfully facilitating the construction of toilets as part of this vital health initiative.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) held a meeting to summarize the implementation of the Community Trust Fund for 2024 and to present the draft development plan for 2025 in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Valiya Sichanthongthip, Governor of Vilabouly District and Chairman of the Community Trust Fund Committee, with the honorary co-chaired by Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML and Co-Chairman of the Community Trust Fund, supported by LXML. The meeting was attended by Mr. Bounlouan Leexayalath, Head of the Energy and Mines Department of Savannakhet Province, technical staff from the Planning and Investment Department of the province, fund management committee members from the district, heads of district offices, presidents of the Lao Front for National Development, presidents of the district youth union of Vilabouly, representatives from mass organizations, senior provincial and local officials, and senior advisors from LXML.

During the meeting, discussions focused on reviewing the implementation of key community development projects over the past year and planning the fund’s projects for 2025, with a total budget allocation of US$750,000. The fund's main objective is to support the host communities of the Sepon Gold-Copper Mine Project, aiming to improve the quality of life of local residents. The focus is on three main pillars: food security through agriculture and livestock, educational support (scholarships, various training programs), and health improvement in the community. Additionally, the meeting emphasized the importance of strategic planning, transparent financial management, and creating sustainable benefits for the host communities, ensuring effective community participation in the development process.

Mr. Valiya Sichanthongthip expressed his gratitude and appreciation to LXML for their continuous support of local community development, which contributed to the well-being and prosperity of Vilabouly. He highlighted the positive impact of the Local Development Fund projects and stressed the importance of good cooperation and ongoing support between LXML, local authorities, and the community.

Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML, reiterated the company’s commitment to creating positive impacts for the community, emphasizing the importance of sustainable community development and the company’s continuous efforts to support the local population. He noted that the company’s community development work aligns with national agendas and the Lao government’s nationwide socio-economic development plans to eradicate poverty. Therefore, the company’s hard work in community development is seen as a contribution to alleviating poverty in collaboration with the Lao government.

Several community development projects under the Community Trust Fund in 2024 were completed and achieved satisfactory results, with an estimated 90% success rate. Infrastructure development in various sectors has improved, directly and indirectly benefiting the community, and enhancing their living conditions. Additionally, the community has gained employment opportunities with the company and various contractors, providing a stable income for families, and enabling them to build standard homes and acquire necessary vehicles, thereby improving their overall quality of life.

The LXML Community Trust Fund has provided significant benefits to the local community living around the Sepon Gold-Copper Mine Project for two decades. The funding has increased annually from US$96,000 in 2004 and lifted to US$750,000 per year from 2014 onward and will continue until the end of the mining project.

His extensive experience in hydrology and hydrogeology has been instrumental in effective water management at LXML, ensuring safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Overcoming Challenges

Starting his career with limited English proficiency and no formal background in hydrology, he faced significant challenges. However, his determination to learn and grow led him to overcome these barriers through self-study, attending English courses, and seeking mentorship from colleagues. His passion for water management and dedication to continuous learning have been key to his success.

Motivation and Future Aspirations

His motivation to pursue further education in groundwater hydrology stems from his belief in the importance of sustainable water management for mining and community development. By gaining advanced knowledge and skills, he aims to contribute significantly to the Lao PDR’s development and LXML’s business goals. His vision includes improving water management practices in various sectors such as mining, agriculture, and water supply.

The event was co-chaired by Mr. Valiya Sichanthongthip, the Mayor of Vilabouly District and Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML), and participants by several relevant parties.

This Community Water Biosand Filter System project is a significant part of the company's local community development strategy, aimed at providing a clean water system to targeted village communities in the surrounding areas of the Sepon mine. The primary goal is to supply clean water to the villagers of Muang Luang, enhancing their quality of life and ensuring access to safe drinking water that meets hygiene standards.

Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML, stated, "The purpose of the project is to ensure that the community in Muang Luang Village has access to clean water sources that are in line with sanitary standards, promoting comfort and good health, and ultimately improving their quality of life. The company hopes that the authorities and community members will collaboratively manage and protect this resource so that it can be used sustainably for generations."

This construction project includes the following key features: a clean water tank made of reinforced concrete, measuring 4 meters wide, 7 meters long, and 14.6 meters high, divided into three levels with a capacity of 45,000 liters. The system can produce up to 90,000 liters of clean water per day. Additionally, the project includes water pumps and piping to ensure adequate supply to each household and local schools. This initiative was funded by LXML, with construction carried out by Vilabouly Development Construction, LTD (VDC) at a cost of 110,965 US dollars.

Mr. Valiya Sichanthongthip expressed his gratitude to LXML for supporting this project, calling it an important initiative for Muang Luang Village. He urged the village authorities and residents to actively manage and protect the system to ensure its long-term sustainability.

Vientiane, Lao PDR, August 16, 2024 – Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and ESL Company, held a central participatory consultation meeting to review the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Report and the three-year health management and monitoring plan for the expansion of the Far Western prospect of the Sepon gold-copper mine project.

The meeting was co-chaired by Dr. Ms. Viengkhan Phixay, Deputy Director General of the Hygiene and Health Promotion Department, Ministry of Health; Dr. Phou Lammon Sihavong, Deputy Director of the Savannakhet Provincial Administration Office; Mr. Phaly Sibounnya, Deputy Director of the Health Department of Savannakhet Province; and Mr. Sikhoun Banmanivong, Deputy Mayor of Vilabouly District. Representatives from the mining, natural resources, environment sectors, central and local health sectors, and technical staff from LXML also participated.

The primary objective of the meeting was to present the progress of the HIA work, provide an overview of LXML's operations, and gather essential information regarding the health of communities surrounding the project development area. The consultation aimed to identify both positive and negative impacts on community health, and to establish plans, policies, and activities that will inform budget allocations for community health promotion and monitoring within the project framework.

Dr. Ms. Viengkhan Phixay remarked, "This meeting serves as the final consultation on the HIA for the Far Western Project before we proceed with the certification process to endorse the HIA report for a three-year period (2024-2026), as well as the management plan for monitoring public health affairs."

The Health Impact Assessment is a systematic process that involves analyzing data and forecasting potential health impacts—both direct and indirect—resulting from investment projects and activities. It also establishes appropriate strategies to prevent, mitigate, or reduce anticipated health effects. The findings from the HIA are critical criteria in the evaluation and approval of investment projects that may pose significant health risks

Since LXML Sepon commencing operations in 2003, LXML has prioritized the health of its employees and the surrounding community by providing extensive support to the public health sector. This includes building a new rehabilitation building for Vilabouly Hospital, supporting ambulance vehicles and medical equipment for Savannakhet Hospital and the Lao Friendship Hospital, and collaborating with the Ministry of Health and UNICEF on the “1000 Days Project” to address nutritional problems among mothers and children. Additionally, LXML has supported the Lao Pediatric Conference through Health Frontiers.

The distribution of teachers includes 14 female educators in kindergarten, 23 teachers (11 female) in primary schools, 6 teachers (2 female) in lower-secondary schools, and 8 teachers (5 female) in upper-secondary schools.

This marks the third consecutive year that Vilabouly District has received financial support for volunteer teacher subsidies from LXML. The LXML company has generously contributed $13,000 USD (thirteen thousand US dollars) through the Sepon Trust Fund (TF), underscoring its commitment to enhancing education in the region.

LXML remains dedicated to supporting the education sector, recognizing the vital role of teachers in shaping the future of the community. By investing in volunteer teachers, LXML aims to empower local educators, improve educational outcomes, and foster a sustainable learning environment for all students in the Vilabouly District.

Vilabouly District, Savanakhet Province – LXML is excited to announce the successful opening of the Resin in Leach (RIL) plant trial at the Sepon Mine Project, held on July 26, 2024. This significant milestone marks a new chapter in enhancing gold recovery at the Sepon Mine, located in the Vilabouly District of Savanakhet Province.

The Resin in Leach technology represents an innovative leap forward in gold extraction processes. Unlike the traditional method that utilizes activated carbon, the RIL process employs a synthetic resin to boost gold recovery. This cutting-edge technology is expected to increase Sepon’s gold recovery rates substantially.

Starting last year, the Sepon team embarked on a comprehensive testing program, progressing from bench tests to pilot trials. The results have been consistently promising, showing an estimated recovery improvement of approximately 5%. The opening of the plant trial is an essential step in validating the benefits observed during the previous testing phases.

LXML is committed to advancing mining practices and enhancing the efficiency of its operations. The implementation of the RIL technology underscores this commitment and reflects our dedication to innovation and sustainability in the mining industry.

We look forward to sharing more updates as we proceed with the plant trial and explore the full potential of this exciting technology.

Savannakhet Province, 5 May 2024 - As part of its ongoing commitment to social and environmental responsibility, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) commemorated World Environment Day (WED) on June 5, 2024, by collaborating with the Vilabouly District Government and the local community on a restoration and awareness event at the Nater Headwater dam conservation area, aligned with the global initiative to promote environmental protection and restoration, with this year's theme focusing on “Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience”.

The Nater Headwater dam conservation area, situated approximately 50 km from Sepon's operations on the Xe Noy River, was the focal point of the activities. Recognizing the ecological and social significance of the area to the Vilabouly District Government and surrounding communities, the area serves as an important tourism recreation site but has faced degradation due to past activities and potential risks from upstream mining. LXML's Environment Department provided an indicative plan for the ecological restoration of the site. Native seedlings were generously donated by LXML for planting, aiming to restore and enhance the area's biodiversity.

Leading the event were Mr. Valiya Sichanthongthip, Governor of Vilabouly District, Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML, the deputy head of Natural Resources and Environment Department of Savanakhet Province,  management representatives from LXML, Mr. Carl Rieck, Manager – Safety Health and Environment, Mr. Shane Langdon, Senior superintendent-Environment, the collaborative effort included the participation of local government authorities, administrative officers, community members, natural resource & environment officers from Vilabouly District, and dedicated LXML employees.

Governor Valiya Sichanthongthip expressed his heartfelt gratitude to LXML, stating, "We are deeply appreciative of LXML's significant contribution to our community's environmental restoration. Their dedication to restoring the Nater Headwater Dam Conservation Area not only enhances the local ecology but also serves as a model for responsible corporate citizenship."

"LXML is proud to partner with the Vilabouly District Authority in marking this important World Environment Day initiative," said Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML. "By working together, we can ensure a healthy and sustainable future for the Nater Headwater dam conservation area and the communities that depend on it."

Key activities facilitated and involved by LXML in the event encompassed various support measures, such as the provision of seedlings from the onsite nursery, planting of 160 native hardwood seedlings, a clean-up initiative to remove litter from the conservation area, a WED 2024 banner, and polo shirts for participants, food and beverages, the supply of used pallets for fencing post-event and raising awareness among the local community about forest conservation and waste management practices. A group of LXML employees and management actively engaged in the tree planting and clean-up efforts, demonstrating their strong commitment to environmental stewardship.

Additionally, participants were engaged in environmental awareness activities and quizzes, enhancing their understanding of the importance of habitat conservation and sustainability practices. The cost breakdown expenses in total value at US$ 5,000.

At LXML Sepon, we are committed to minimizing environmental impacts and strive to return disturbed land to a usable state. Our priorities in this space include, managing operational environment impacts, incorporating progressive rehabilitation into our plans and operations, and delivering industry best practice land rehabilitation and revegetation programs. We also prioritize community engagement and involvement in our environmental initiatives, as we believe that collaboration with local stakeholders is essential for long-term environmental sustainability.

On 26 March 2024, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) has extended its support through the enhancement of water supply pipelines in Mai Village. A formal ceremony was held to mark the completion of this project, with Mr. Valiya Sichan Thongthip, the mayor of Vilabouly district, and Mr. Saman Aneka, Managing Director of Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company, presiding over the event. The handover ceremony was attended by village officials, residents, technical staff from LXML, and representatives from the contractor company.

In early 2023, LXML undertook the construction of a water supply system in Mai Village in collaboration with the local community. Recognizing the need for improvements, the decision was made to upgrade the water pipeline to better cater to the needs of the residents. LXML facilitated the installation of a 110mm water pipeline spanning 1,700 meters at a cost of 150,000,000 kip (equivalent to US$7,165). This upgrade is aimed at enhancing the accessibility of clean water for the village inhabitants.

The longstanding partnership between LXML and the Mai Village community has yielded significant successes across various initiatives. These include infrastructure developments such as road construction within the village, the establishment of a water collection tank, the construction of a temple hall and village office, as well as the distribution of essential items like chairs, tables, and water systems.

Furthermore, LXML's Sepon Trust Fund (TF) project has been a valuable asset to the communities residing in the vicinity of the Sepon gold-copper project for over 19 years. The annual funding, which has progressively increased from 96,000 dollars to 750,000 dollars, is dedicated to enhancing community infrastructure, health, education, and agriculture. This financial support has facilitated the construction of roads, expansion of the power grid to remote areas, and allocation of funds to various sectors within the city. The commitment to providing such support will continue until the final stages of mining or closure, ensuring lasting benefits for the local community.

LXML recently participated in a Public Training Course on Good Hygiene Practices and Food Safety and Quality Culture for the Food Supply Chain. The training took place from March 05 - 07, 2024, and was conducted by the internationally accredited and globally recognized SGS Academy based in Thailand.

The Occupational Health & Hygiene (OH&H) team at LXML plays a crucial role in supporting the catering department to maintain food safety both on-site and off-site, particularly with external suppliers. However, the team faced challenges in identifying risks, potential hazards, control points, and areas for improvement due to insufficient knowledge of conducting supplier audits based on LXML's food safety plan standard.

The training consisted of two key sessions focused on enhancing food safety and quality culture within the food supply chain. The first session covered Good Hygiene Practice – Hazard Analysis Critical Control (GHP’s -HACCP) System revision, which aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of GHP’s and HACCP food safety requirements in an international standard. This session equipped the OH&H team with the knowledge and skills to audit and support the catering department in identifying biological, chemical, and physical hazards in the food offered to employees and contractors. It also enabled them to determine significant risks, implement controls to minimize employee and contractor illness, and validate adequate controls for hazards.

The second session focused on Food Safety Culture, updating the knowledge of all OH&H auditors on the current food safety management system that can be adopted in LXML's food safety operations. This session emphasized the importance of attitudes, behaviors, and the priority given to food safety in an organization. It underscored the need for a strong food safety culture, where catering staff take responsibility, pride, and care in producing safe food, along with the right knowledge, skills, and a committed attitude to consistently do things the right way.

LXML is committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality culture within its food supply chain.

The participation in the Public Training Course on Good Hygiene Practice and Food Safety and Quality Culture for Food Supply Chain further strengthens LXML's dedication to upholding these standards and ensuring the safety and well-being of its employees and contractors.

Mr Gao further provided update that in 2022, LXML Sepon mine produced more than 6.7 tonnes of gold and 6,600 tonnes of copper. In the same year, LXML opened the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR at Sepon, setting the standard for other mining operations, extending the life of the mine to at least 2033.

Since 2016, LXML is the only mining company in Laos to have consistently achieved an A+ rating from the Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining environmental and community development standards.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has contributed over US$1.7 billion to the Lao Government in direct revenue through taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in employment, training, community, and local business development. In addition, LXML has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local business partners and suppliers. LXML invested approximately US$50 million in national and local infrastructure, US$56 million in UXO clearance, and millions of dollars in cultural heritage preservation and other programs.

More than 40,000 people in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, benefit from community development programs, totalling US$20 million worth of projects and investment. Community income through local business groups has accumulated to more than US$50 million over the life of Sepon mine.

Mr Bo Gao, LXML President concluded that LXML will continue to make strong contributions as a valued development partner in Lao PDR.

Last week, LXML highlighted achievements on Sepon mine operations, business plans, and progress on community development to government and community stakeholders.

The meeting was co-chaired by the Deputy Minister of Energy and Mines, Mr Thongphat Inthavong, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Economic, Technology, and Environment Committee Mr Khammouane Somsihapanya, Savannakhet Vice Governor Dr Senesack Soulisack, and Chifeng Gold Chief Operating Officer Mr Paul Harris.

Multiple government agencies, including the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Planning and Investment, Ministry of Finance, Labour Ministry, community representatives and grass roots organisations also attended the meeting.

Participants addressed safety and environmental performance, economic benefits to the Lao PDR, infrastructure, workplace issues, plans for mine closure, and community development programs.

Remarkably, Chairman of the bi-annual meeting and senior government leaders from Savannakhet province have expressed great support to LXML for the extension of mining investment in Laos as required by LXML.  The company’s reputation was well recognized by the participants as well.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has produced over 1.7 million ounces of gold and 1.1 million tonnes of copper, contributing over US$1.7 billion in direct revenue to the Lao PDR in taxes, royalties, and dividends.  In addition, LXML has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local business partners and suppliers.

LXML is committed to cooperating with the Lao Government as a valued development partner in Lao PDR.

On 1 March 2023, during introductory calls on several senior Lao Government officials, LXML President, Mr Gao Bo, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to international standards, and to ensuring that benefits are shared with the Lao Government, communities close to Sepon mine, and other stakeholders.

Mr Paul Harris, former LXML President and Chifeng Gold Chief Operating Officer (COO), extended gratitude to the Lao Government for strong support during his assignment.

Mr Phoxay Sayasone, Minister of Energy and Mines, said “mining companies must prioritize community development, so local people have access to basic services like roads and electricity, as well as sustainable development and livelihoods.”

Ms Bounkham Vorachit, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, expressed confidence that Chifeng LXML Sepon would continue to build on its experience to maintain environmental standards and set a strong example for the mining industry in Lao PDR.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has produced over 1.7 million ounces of gold and 1.1 million tonnes of copper, contributing over US$1.7 billion in direct revenue to the Lao PDR in taxes, royalties, and dividends.  In addition, LXML has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local business partners and suppliers.

On 26 January 2023, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lao Ministry of Defence to support UXO clearance in Lao PDR.

Sepon mine is located in one of the most heavily bombed areas in Savannakhet Province, and UXO clearance is an integral part of mining operations and community development. Since 1996, LXML has invested US$56 million in UXO operations, clearing 6,400 hectares of land, destroying 60,000 UXO items, supporting local communities to develop agricultural and other development projects.

LXML, Ministry of Defence, the National Regulatory Authority (NRA), and the National Unexploded Ordnance Programme (UXO Lao) are working closely together to improve UXO clearance standards. In 2015, LXML and NRA introduced accredited explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training to provide Lao UXO technicians with internationally recognised qualifications.

“This partnership supports safe UXO clearance in accordance with NRA standards,” said Major Brigardier Viengxay Xaisamone, Director General, Engineering Department, Ministry of Defence. “We are building on decades of cooperation with LXML to achieve best practice in UXO clearance and disposal.”

LXML and NRA invest in innovative technologies to enhance UXO detection capabilities. The Gap EOD Ultra-TEM II Deep Bomb Detection System (Fixed Loop Electromagnetic Method – FLEM), for example, can locate UXO buried up to 3.5 metres underground. In 2020, LXML deployed a Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) detection method that is versatile, portable, and can be used on high slopes and in any conditions, particularly in the harsh mining environment at Sepon mine. These innovations increased the accuracy, speed, and quality of UXO operations.

Major Brigadier Viengxay Xaiysamone, Director General, Engineering Department, and Mr Michael Stott, LXML Mine Technical Services Manager, signed the MoU, witnessed by Lieutenant Colonel Othong Khambanxay, Deputy Director General of the Training-Combat Department and Mr Palivath Inthavong, LXML Project and Service Delivery Superintendent.

“We are removing dangerous obstacles that hinder development in Laos,” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director.  “We are working closely with local communities and Lao Government authorities to detect and destroy UXO to make everyone safer. LXML is grateful for the cooperation of the Ministry of Defence, NRA, and UXO Lao in carrying out this hazardous activity.”

LXML invested approximately US$50 million in national and local infrastructure, US$56 million in UXO clearance, and millions of dollars in cultural heritage preservation and other programs.

More than 40,000 people in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, benefit from community development programs, totalling US$20 million worth of projects and investment. Community income through local business groups has accumulated to more than US$50 million over the life of Sepon mine.

In 2022, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine in Savannakhet Province, owned and operated by Chifeng Gold, produced more than 6.7 tonnes of gold and 6,600 tonnes of copper, supporting export revenue and socio-economic development in Lao PDR.

Planned production for 2023 is over 6 tonnes of gold and 7 tonnes of copper.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has contributed over US$1.6 billion to the Lao Government in direct revenue through taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in employment, training, community, and local business development.

In 2022 LXML opened the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR at Sepon, setting the standard for other mining operations, extending the life of the mine to at least 2033.

Since 2016, LXML has consistently achieved an A+ rating from the Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining environmental and community development standards.

LXML has achieved positive community development outcomes over twenty years of operations in partnership with the Lao Government and host communities, resulting in Vilabouly District’s removal from the list of poorest districts in 2015.

LXML procures US$3 million (75% of fruits, vegetables, and local produce) through local businesses - a combined income over US$50 million – creating important income opportunities.

Our community programs focus on health, education, food security, and livelihoods, including support for disadvantaged communities. We continue to engage cooperatively and consult local communities and other partners on development priorities.

In April 2022, LXML donated US$5 million to Savannakhet Province to upgrade Road 28A, a 41.56km bitumen road from Nabor to Vilabouly District, providing better access to markets for more than 40,000 people. Road 28A is an important link in the ‘East-West’ growth corridor, connecting Lao PDR with Vietnam and Thailand.

LXML has invested approximately US$34 million in infrastructure to extend the national energy grid from Thakhek to Maxahay in cooperation with Electricite Du Laos (EDL), extending economic opportunities to rural communities.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines awarded Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) with an A(+) rating last week for setting a leading example to other mining operations in compliance with international environmental standards, contributing to sustainable community development, generating over 5000 local jobs, and for its significant contribution to national socio-economic development in Lao PDR.

LXML has maintained the highest rating for six consecutive years since 2016, when the Lao Government initiated such assessments to acknowledge performance standards. LXML is the only mining company in Lao PDR to have consistently achieved this prestigious rating.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines praised LXML for improving livelihoods; modern mining methods and technology; safety standards; supporting local products, businesses, and services; continuing expansion and growth; and for supporting growth in other sectors.

LXML is developing the first modern underground mine in Laos at Sepon Mine in Vilabouly district, Savannakhet province.

LXML secured the A+ rating by meeting certain standards, including: (i) legal compliance; (ii) meeting obligations; (iii) respect for host country and community; (iv) promotion of domestic labour and skills development; (v) safety and occupational health standards; (vi) productive and transparent operation with no adverse social and environmental impacts; and (vii) environmental management and mine closure planning.

“At LXML, we are committed to operating in compliance with national and international standards, especially with regard to safety and environmental performance,” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director.

“Recognition inspires us to strive for continuous improvement as a responsible investor and good corporate citizen to maintain strict standards, and ensure benefits are shared with all stakeholders.”

Since operations commenced in 2003, Sepon Mine has produced over 1.5 million ounces of gold and 1.1 million tonnes of copper, contributing over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao PDR in taxes, royalties, and dividends, and hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local business partners and suppliers.

More than 40,000 people in Vilabouly benefit from community development programs, totalling US$20 million worth of projects and investment, and community income through local business groups, which has accumulated to US$50 million.

Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR – To commemorate Lao National Day on 2 December 2022, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine acknowledged 434 employees for long service from five to over twenty years. 132 of these employees have worked with LXML for five years, 238 for ten years, 55 for 15 years, eight for 20 years, and one for 25 years.

In 2023, LXML will celebrate 20 years since operations commenced. Over the life of Sepon mine, more than 10,000 employees have contributed to the growth of LXML Sepon, learning professional skills and creating livelihoods.

Of a total workforce of approximately 5,000 employees and contractors, 95% of LXML employees are Lao, 75% are from local communities, and 20% of these are women. Over several decades, LXML has invested millions of dollars in human resource development, including scholarships, internships, on-the-job training, and apprenticeship programs. LXML is continuing to support career growth and employee aspirations to develop Lao professionals for the benefit of the Lao PDR.

“The skills and experience employees have attained throughout the years are invaluable” said Paul Harris, LXML President the ceremony. “These employees are an important asset for LXML, and the skills that each of you have gained will stay with you wherever your work in Lao PDR. LXML will continue to invest in the human capital of Lao PDR through ongoing training, coaching, and career advancement.”

In August, LXML entered a partnership with the Lao German Technical College to provide technical scholarships for communities in Vilabouly District near Sepon mine. Apprentices will receive vocational training in electrical-electronic, mechanical, fabrication, heavy equipment and automotive technology trades. Upon graduation, they will be offered the opportunity to secure a job with LXML. This program will run until 2027.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has invested millions of dollars in training, scholarships, apprentices, traineeship, and internships. More than 105 Lao participants graduated from the apprenticeship program, and 36 professionals graduated from overseas higher education scholarships.

To date, LXML has provided 959,744 training hours to Lao employees through internal, external, on-the-job training, and overseas study. Since June, LXML has reinstated its popular Supervisor and Leadership Development programs to support the next generation Lao mining professionals.

Since operations commenced, LXML Sepon has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue through taxes and royalties to the Lao Government, and hundreds of millions in indirect benefits through community development, employment, and training.

22 September 2022 – Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), in cooperation with Vilabouly District Education Office, dedicated three new classrooms and sanitary facilities valued at US$36,950 to Phoukam Secondary School in Boungkham Village, Vilabouly District, Savannaket Province where Sepon Mine is located. Vilabouly Vice Governor, Mr Bounneuang Chanhom, LXML representatives, teachers, and students, witnessed a modest handover ceremony for the new buildings at the school.

On the same day, Vilabouly Information, Culture and Tourism Office and LXML, in the presence of Vilabouly Governor, Mr Valiya Sichanthongthip, celebrated a traditional music promotion project. LXML provided financial support and equipment for students in Vilabouly District to learn Lao traditional musical instruments to preserve valuable cultural heritage. To date, LXML has contributed US$10,000 for this project, creating opportunities for 30 aspiring young Lao musicians.

LXML’s Community Development Fund supports communities around Sepon Mine with $750,000 every year, focusing on three development pillars: food security and commercial agricultural production (30%); education, scholarships, and incentives for outstanding and vulnerable students; and community primary health projects (20%).  The remainder is allocated to other development projects in consultation with local communities, including US$25,000 for a Disaster Rehabilitation and Response Fund, which provided support during the COVID-19 pandemic and floods.

To date, LXML has invested over US$11 million in Vilabouly through the Community Development Fund and other community development projects, benefitting over 40,000 community members and their families with key infrastructure, support, and services. Decades ago, Vilabouly was classified as a ‘very poor’ district, but due to employment, commerce, and community development, it is emerging as a thriving and busy district.

15 August 2022 – LXML handed upgraded and repaired Nakasin irrigation system to promote agriculture and food security to Nakasin and Meungluang villagers valued USD$73,230.

Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director handed the repaired project to Nakasin and Meungluang village authorities witness by Mr Variya Sichanthongthip, newly appointed Vilabouly District Chief.

Initially, Nakasin weir was built and handed to community on 12 August 2020, under community Trust Fund program (TF) valued USD$95,249. However, due to heavy rainfall, the embankment was damaged and eroded. Upgrade also required to support further agriculture production areas. Hence, on 7 Mar 2022, repair and upgrade project was established.

The TF aims to improve livelihood through access to basic services and empowered district and villagers to set and achieve their own development priorities through a participatory and community-led approach. This irrigation repair project set an example of participatory from host villagers, and local authority by actively providing extensive labours and contribution of 1000 cubic metres of rock from a local business, Hommala.

At the event, participants also release 10,000 fishes to the conservation zone.

“I hope that district authorities, village organizations, villagers and relevant partners will jointly maintain the projects – the dams, weirs, and conservation zone” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “Community ownership of these projects will extend its use and provide optimal and lasting benefits through increased agricultural productivity and improved food security.”

The TF’s support has built on three pillars – improving food security, health, and education for future generation. To date, US$11 million has been invested in the TF to build schools, roads, latrines, fishponds, potable water, electricity, and other infrastructure development benefiting more than 40,000 people in Vilabouly.

On 18 August 2022, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), and Lao German Technical College (LGTC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to provide technical scholarships for communities in Vilabouly District near Sepon mine.

Apprentices selected for the program will receive vocational training in electrical, mechanical, fabrication, crane operations, automotive, and auto-electrical trades.

The program will continue from 2022 until 2026. Between 2015 and 2018, eighteen Lao apprentices completed a five-year Australian Certificate III Trade qualification and a Lao Diploma of Technical Training.  The graduates received valuable skills to contribute to the development of the Lao PDR.

Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director, signed the MoU with Mr Khamsavay Yommilavong, Director of Lao-German Technical College. Mr Nouphan Oudsa, Director General of Vocational Education Department, Ministry of Education and Sports was also present at the important events.

“I’m proud of LXML’s contribution to training and development to build better livelihoods for future generations” said Mr Aneka “The skills and experience gained by participants will contribute to Sepon’s operations and to the Lao PDR.”

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has invested millions of dollars in training, scholarships, apprentices, traineeship, and internships. More than 105 Lao participants graduated from the apprenticeship program, and 36 professionals graduated from overseas higher education scholarships.

Up to June 2022, LXML has provided 23,000 training hours to Lao employees through internal, external, on-the-job training, and overseas study. In the second half of 2022, LXML will reinstate its popular Supervisor and Leadership Development programs to support the next generation Lao mining professionals.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited is the only mining operation in the Lao PDR consistently rated A+ by the Ministry of Energy and Mines for its commitment to social and economic development, health and safety, environmental protection, and maintaining international standards.

Since production commenced in 2003, Sepon Mine contributed over US$1.6 billion in taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in employment, training, community and local business development. The mine employs approximately 5,000 local people.

Today, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon (LXML) presented 1320 culturally significant historical artifacts to the Lao Government – made from stone, copper, iron, ceramics, and gems – the items were discovered in the area surrounding Sepon mine by dedicated teams of archaeologists.

Since 2008, LXML has invested over US$1.6 million preserving thousands of years of Lao history and heritage through an archaeological research program with the Department of Heritage (DoH) of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, the National University of Laos, and James Cook University of Australia. The program sponsors fieldwork uniting a unique community at local, national, and international levels. Volunteers from Vientiane and Savannakhet, local villagers, Australian and Lao university students, archaeologists, and Lao officials cooperate closely together to conduct research.

Mr Vansy Kuamua, Deputy Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism and officials from Savannakhet and Vilabouly joined the handover ceremony in Vientiane, acknowledging LXML’s respect for Lao cultural heritage and the importance of preserving cultural sites to promote tourism.

Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director handed over 1320 artifacts to Mr Phakhanxay Sikhanxay, Director General of Heritage Department, Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism.

The items will be placed on display at the Lao National Museum, Savannakhet Museum, Vilabouly Cultural Hall and Heritage Department. LXML also handed over 7,881 artifacts in 2019 and 280 in February 2022 to the Lao Government and provided 144 million LAK to build display cabinets for the Lao National Museum.

The two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to reinforce principles for future cooperation in the preservation of cultural heritage.

“Today marks over a decade of cooperation with the Ministry of Information and Culture. This is a significant milestone in LXML’s partnership,” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “LXML is committed to working hand in hand with our ministry counterparts for at least another ten years until mine closure to protect and preserve Lao cultural heritage.”

Remarkable discoveries of artefacts and heritage sites in the area surrounding Sepon mine open a door into fascinating ancient civilizations to show us how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. In March 2018, a team of archaeologists discovered evidence of more than 200 ancient mine shafts dating back over 3,000 years. Some of the items discovered date back almost ten thousand years.

Mining has been essential in the development of human society throughout history. Vilabouly is acknowledged internationally as one of the first mining and metallurgy sites in Southeast Asia.  Ancient mining practices continued there until about 1,300 years ago, (700 AD), where people excavated rich copper ore and refined it in Peun Baolo and Thong Na-Gneuak (Dragon or “Naga Serpent” Field).

Other artifacts include mining equipment such as wooden ladders, pulleys, mallets, painted bamboo baskets, and rope made from lianas; a large ‘Dong Son’ bronze era drum currently on display at the National Museum in Vientiane; and crucibles, copper ingots, jewellery, ceremonial items, weapons, pottery, and other artefacts highlighting Lao PDR’s pivotal place in regional history.

In the first half of 2022 to June 30, Sepon Mine produced 102,468 ounces (2.905 T) of gold doré and 3,933 tonnes of copper, an increase of 15 per cent from the same period in the previous year.

in 2021, total production at Sepon was 192,988 ounces (6.003 MT) of gold, and 5,341 tonnes of copper.

LXML contributed US$40,843,028.09 in direct revenue to the Lao Government in respect of 2021 earnings in royalties, taxes, and dividend.

Since production commenced in 2003, Sepon Mine contributed over US$1.6 billion in taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in employment, training, community and local business development. The mine employs approximately 5,000 local people.

“I am proud of the excellent contribution of LXML employees in achieving production targets,” said Mr Wang Jianhua, Chairman of Chifeng Gold, during a visit to Lao PDR in July to outline the company’s growth plans. “Chifeng LXML is a proud partner in development in the Lao PDR.”

During meetings with Dr Xaysomphone Phomvihane, President of the National Assembly, Dr Sonexay Siphandone, Deputy Prime Minister, Ms Bounkham Vorachit, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr Bounchom Oubonpaseuth, Minister of Finance, Dr Daovong Phonekeo, Minister of Energy and Mines, and Mr Santiphab Phomvihane, Savannakhet Governor, Mr Wang reaffirmed Chifeng’s commitment to investment in Lao PDR to build new gold, copper, and rare earth projects.

“All enterprises seek long-term development, and this is best achieved through cooperation with local authorities and solid teams with a common stake,” said Mr Wang. “Our investment in new projects will benefit Lao people and the government. I am very proud of LXML’s success in employment, training, community development, and revenue contributions.”

Chifeng Jilong Gold Company Limited owns a 90 per cent share in Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), which owns and operates the Sepon mine in Savannakhet Province.

In July 2022, Chifeng Gold entered into an historical cooperation agreement with Lao Mining Development State Enterprise (LMD) to extend exploration and development of mineral resources to develop large-scale future production in Lao PDR.

“This landmark agreement highlights Chifeng’s enduring commitment to development of the mining sector in Lao PDR,” said Mr Paul Harris, General Manager.

In April 2022, LXML donated US$5 million to the Savannakhet Provincial Government to support an upgrade to Route 28A, a critical logistics route to expand the East-West growth corridor linking Lao PDR, Thailand, and Vietnam. This investment will enhance opportunities for trade and tourism in the region.

In May 2022, LXML commenced construction of the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR. With a resource of 9.5 million tonnes, and projected ore production to increase from 400,000 tonnes in 2023 to 1.2 million tonnes per annum thereafter, Discovery Deeps Underground Mine will extend Sepon’s mine life for another seven years, to 2030, contributing to sustainable development in host communities.

“Sepon has witnessed thousands of years of mining history,” said Mr Harris. “This new development, combined with modern equipment and advanced mining techniques will transfer knowledge and skills to Lao employees – Lao mining professionals – to set new standards for underground mining.”

Lane Xang Minerals Limited is the only mining operation in the Lao PDR consistently rated A+ by the Ministry of Energy and Mines for its commitment to social and economic development, health and safety, environmental protection, and maintaining international standards.

LXML is continuing to invest in training and development. Up to June 2022, LXML provided 23,000 training hours to Lao employees through internal, external, on-the-job training, and overseas study. In the second half of 2022 LXML will reinstate its popular Trade Apprenticeship Program targeting local communities, as well as Supervisor and Leadership Development programs to upskill Lao employees.

Diversity and Inclusion of LXML’s workforce remains strong, with representation of 24 per cent female employees and 95 per cent Lao Nationals (80% from Vilabouly District and Savannakhet Province).

Employment opportunities at Sepon mine are connected to technical roles associated with exploration and development of the underground project, with engagement of over 300 Lao employees in 2022.

The COVID19 pandemic presented significant challenges to health and safety, logistics and operations. LXML liaised closely with health authorities and the Lao Government at district, provincial, and central levels to ensure the protection of local communities and employees. With the cooperation of Savannakhet Provincial Health Department, LXML employees and contractors received multiple doses of COVID19 vaccines. LXML contributed almost US$500,000 to the Lao Government’s COVID19 prevention measures, including support for quarantine facilities, PCR machines, and medical supplies.

Sepon’s community development program focuses on food security, education, and health. Through targeted support for disadvantaged communities in livelihood, water, sanitation, irrigation, and other infrastructure projects, LXML lifted Vilabouly District out of the category of a poor district, exceeding the government’s poverty alleviation targets. The company has supported the establishment of a water supply (Nam Papa) system in Vilabouly District, local hospitals, clinics, schools, and scholarships.

“LXML is building better livelihoods for future generations,” said LXML Managing Director, Mr Saman Aneka. “To date, the company has invested US$11 million in Vilabouly District through the community trust fund, and over US$49 million in income generation for local business groups. LXML is investing in Lao people to develop sustainable livelihoods and improve opportunities for the future.”

Mr Wang Jianhua, Chairman of Chifeng Jilong Gold, called on high level officials in Vientiane last week to highlight the company’s significant investment and contribution to economic and social development in Lao PDR, and reaffirm plans for future growth in partnership with the Lao Government. Chifeng Jilong Gold Company Limited owns a 90 per cent share in Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), which owns and operates the Sepon mine in Savannakhet Province.

During warm meetings with Dr Xaysomphone Phomvihane, President of the National Assembly, Dr Sonexay Siphandone, Deputy Prime Minister, Ms Bounkham Vorachit, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr Bounchom Oubonpaseuth, Minister of Finance, Dr Daovong Phonekeo, Minister of Energy and Mines, and Mr Santiphab Phomvihane, Savannakhet Governor, Mr Wang Jianhua confirmed Chifeng’s commitment to strengthen cooperation and investment in Lao PDR to develop gold, copper, and rare earth projects.

“Our investment in new mining projects will positively benefit Lao people and the government,” said Mr Wang Jianhua.

“I am very proud of our company’s success in Lao PDR, especially on employment, training, community development, and revenue contributions to the Lao Government.”

Chifeng Gold recently signed an historic cooperation agreement with Lao Mining Development State Enterprise (LMD) for additional exploration and development of mineral resources in Lao PDR.

“This cooperation highlights Chifeng’s enduring commitment to growth and development of the mining sector in Lao PDR,” said Mr Wang Jianhua.

“I would like to express appreciation to the Lao Government for its support to Sepon Project and the company’s growth plans.”

During discussions with government officials, Mr Wang Jianhua confirmed that Chifeng Gold will continue to maintain international standards on safety, environment, community development and developing Lao employees.

LXML and the Lao Government have built a solid relationship over almost 30 years of cooperation.

Sepon mine proudly maintains the highest international standards, is consistently rated A+ by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, and is widely considered a role model for other mining companies in Lao PDR.

This year, Chifeng LXML commenced construction of the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR, setting an example for others in the mining industry.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML Sepon has produced over 1.1 million tons of copper cathode, over 1.5 million ounces of gold doré, and has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government through taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community, and local business development.

In 2021, Sepon produced over 5,341 tonnes of copper and 192,988 ounces of gold doré. 2022 production guidance is approximately 224,000 ounces (7 tonnes) of gold doré and 8,000 tonnes of copper cathode.

Vientiane Capital, Laos – On 11 July 2022, Chifeng Jilong Gold entered into an historical cooperation agreement with Lao Mining Development State Enterprise (LMD). The agreement will enable the parties to focus on exploration and development of mineral resources to develop large-scale future production in Lao PDR.

“This agreement highlights Chifeng’s enduring commitment to growth and the development of the mining sector in Lao PDR,” said Mr Paul Harris, Executive President Chifeng Jilong Gold, General Manager Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML).

“We are working with the Lao Government to develop more successful projects like Sepon. Chifeng and LMD will conduct exploration to start another world class mining operation to bring mutual benefit to all our stakeholders, especially the Lao people.”

“Together with LMD and the Lao Government, we are building a solid foundation to grow Chifeng’s significant investment in Lao PDR. We will maintain the same international standards we are renowned for, particularly regarding safety, environment, community development, and developing Lao employees.”

“The agreement encourages exploration of areas with mineral potential, before entering into concession agreements,” said Mr Boungnong Sidavong, Managing Director of Lao Mining Development State Enterprise.”

“LMD is confident that Chifeng’s expertise, evident in the strong performance of the Sepon Gold-Copper Project, will ensure success. Identifying mineral potential is critical, and support from government, technical professionals, and local communities will be essential in developing the mining sector in Lao PDR.”

LXML and the Lao Government have enjoyed a long and successful relationship over almost 30 years. Sepon mine proudly maintains the highest international standards, is consistently rated A+ by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, and is widely considered a role model for other mining companies in Lao PDR.

Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Company Limited owns a 90 per cent share in Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), which owns and operates the Sepon mine in Savannakhet Province.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML Sepon has produced over 1.1 million tons of copper cathode, over 1.5 million ounces of gold doré, and has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government through taxes, royalties, and dividends, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, community, and local business development.

LXML’s ‘Discovery Deeps East Decline,’ the first modern underground mine in the Lao PDR, which is currently under construction, is expected to extend Sepon’s mine life for at least another ten years to 2033, contributing to employment, economic growth, and sustainable development in host communities.

In 2021, Sepon produced over 5,341 tonnes of copper and 192,988 ounces of gold doré. 2022 production guidance is approximately 224,000 ounces (7 tonnes) of gold doré and 8,000 tonnes of copper cathode.

As the international community celebrates World Environment Day, it’s timely to highlight Chifeng LXML Sepon’s commitment to and performance on environmental protection. At LXML, we always minimise our environmental footprint and comply with international and local regulations and standards. Our company is often cited as an example of best practice on sustainability and community development in the Lao PDR and Southeast Asia region.

LXML was among the first companies in Lao PDR and Southeast Asia to achieve ISO 14001 accreditation for environmental management systems. LXML has conducted several independent reviews and baseline studies since operations commenced in 2002 to ensure mining activities comply with regulations. We regularly measure our impact on local communities and the environment.

Our Commitment in Practice

LXML is committed to reducing environmental and social impact from operations by monitoring water and waste management, conducting progressive rehabilitation, and preparing for mine closure in consultation with stakeholders at all levels.

Since operations commenced, Sepon has invested approximately US$20 million in environmental management and rehabilitation. With the cooperation and support of local communities, we conduct awareness campaigns and respond quickly to any concerns. LXML provided approximately one million dollars to establish Vilabouly’s first landfill facility. We collect 750 water samples monthly (175,000 water samples since 2003) to ensure water quality in surrounding communities.

Since 2008, LXML has rehabilitated 452 hectares of land. The company is committed to returning land to a state that supports public safety and protects resources through sustainable revegetation. LXML uses natural materials sourced from local businesses to stabilise land (approximately US$100,000 every year); providing business opportunities and employment. LXML’s community-based rehabilitation team planted over 450,000 trees using locally sourced and propagated species. Many species (sandalwood, bamboo, and rattan) include varieties that will provide economic benefits to the community for many years into the future.

Preserving Biodiversity

Lao PDR boasts bountiful natural resources, forest cover, and biodiversity. LXML’s environmental protection and biodiversity programs support local communities and protect these resources for future generations.

LXML has sponsored several projects with WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society), IUCN (Internatinal Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), and other development partners. The company invested approximately US$1 million on biodiversity programs aimed at preserving endangered wildlife habitats close to Sepon mine to protect species of high biodiversity value to Laos and the region, including the Community Based Crocodile Recovery and Livelihood Project, a partnership between Champhon district, and IUCN, aimed at protecting Siamese crocodile that are listed by IUCN as a critically endangered species. The company has also invested in programs to monitor the migration and behavior of elephants surrounding the mine.

In 2009, an LXML project resulted in the discovery of the first songbird ‘Bald-face bird’ in mainland Asia. This project led to a research into areas of potential biodiversity significant in Savannakhet province, with the cooperation of scientists from the Lao Government, National University of Laos, and WCS.

In 2015, LXML supported a survey on bat biodiversity near Sepon mine. The findings served as baseline data in assessing potential project-related impacts on the terrestrial ecosystem, identified conservation related issues and mitigating measures. This survey resulted in the capture and release of approximately 180 bats, representing 30% of documented species in Laos.

Partnership for Development

LXML works closely with the Lao Government at all levels and local communities to ensure compliance and capacity building in environmental management.

In 2018, LXML signed an MoU with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to support capacity building and establish an Environmental Management Unit (EMU) in Vilabouly. The partnership enhanced capacity in environmental management across the resources sector.

Community Benefits

As in any other parts of the world, Laos PDR is prone to the impacts of climate change like occurrence of flooding. Vilabouly was hard hit by flooding in 2010/2011 and again in 2018, where 30% of the villages were affected and farmland damaged. Over the years, LXML has provided financial and in-kind assistance to those affected by flooding in Vilabouly, Savannakhet and other parts of Laos totalling about US$500,000.

Building Environmental Awareness

Protection of the environment is a cornerstone of our business. LXML encourages employees to participate in initiatives such as recycling waste, where plastic bottles, bags, paper, and food waste is recycled for reuse.

World Environment Day is celebrated every year at Sepon mine. We inspire employees and communities to raise awareness on environmental issues through cultural heritage projects, arts, fashion shows, and exhibitions. This year, LXML is planting around 9,000 trees around Sepon Mine as part of our rehabilitation program, in Vilabouly District and schools in Savannakhet province on the occasion of Arbor Day.

As we observe World Environment Day, let’s remind ourselves about saving the #OnlyOneEarth we live in. It is important that business cooperates with all stakeholders, especially local communities, on environmental stewardship, so we minimise our footprint and impact on the environment.

On 1 June 2022, Mr Phouthasin Heungthavong, Director General, State Assets Management Department, Ministry of Finance (MOF) (right) received a royalty payment for the first quarter of 2022 copper-gold production at LXML Sepon mine of US$5,846,693.20 from Mr Saman Aneka, Managing Director of Lane Xang Minerals Limited (left). Head of Natural Resource Management Division, Mr Vongpasith Silavong, Resource Management Unit, Ms Manilath Phetmanichan, LXML Deputy Director Mr Chanthone Naovalath, and LXML Supervisor Accounting, Ms Vilailuck Vongphit, were also present.

In 2021, LXML Sepon contributed US$40.84 million to the Lao Government in direct revenue.

Since production commenced in 2003, LXML Sepon has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government, including over US$389 million in royalties, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through employment, training, local business support, and community development.

In the first quarter of 2022, Sepon mine produced 1,783 kilograms of gold and 2,426 tonnes of copper.

“LXML is proud to be a major financial partner in development in the Lao PDR through payment of royalties, profit tax, dividends, income and other taxes.” said Mr Aneka. “We would like to express sincere thanks to the Lao Government for its support to the continuing success of Sepon Project.”

Last month, LXML opened the first modern underground mining operation in Lao PDR. Underground mining is more economical for deeper ore deposits, with less environmental and social impact relative to open pit mining.  This new development will use modern equipment, and advanced mining techniques. Development will continue, with production expected in the second half of 2023.

After the handover, LXML representatives paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Finance, H.E Mr Bounchom Oubonpaserth, to discuss the future of Sepon Project’s contributions and development.

Today, community and government stakeholders visited Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon mine to open the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR.

With a mineral resource of 9.5 million tonnes and projected ore production to increase from 400,000 tonnes in 2023 to 1.2 million tonnes per annum thereafter, the “Discovery Deeps Underground Mine” is expected to extend Sepon’s mine life for at least another seven years, to 2030, contributing to poverty reduction and sustainable development in host communities.

Mr Thongphat Inthavong, Vice Minister of Energy and Mines (Chair of Sepon Project Management Committee), Ms Thipphakone Chanthavongsa, Vice Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office, Mr Viengthavisone Thepphachanh, Vice Governor of Savannakhet, Mr Khamphouy Sibounheuang, Vilabouly District Governor, and community leaders from Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, where Sepon mine is located, and Lao Government officials participated in the event.

“Sepon has thousands of years of mining history,” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager. “This new development will use modern underground mining equipment, and advanced mining techniques, to transfer knowledge and skills to Lao employees and contractors – Lao mining professionals – to set new standards for underground mining.”

Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director thanked central, provincial, and district government and local community representatives for attending this auspicious event.

“LXML community trust fund has contributed to better livelihoods in three key areas of food security, health and education for future generations,” added Mr Aneka. “Underground mining is the first underground operation in Laos that is compliant with the ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment) requirements. To date, the company has provided US$11 million to the community trust fund and US$49 million in income generation for local business groups.”

LXML brought specialist international expertise and equipment to Lao PDR for the landmark project.

The Lao Government’s National Green Growth Strategy recognises the mining industry as a priority sector due to its significant contribution to economic development, and LXML Sepon has consistently been rated A+ by the Lao Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining high international standards.

“Underground mining will deliver economic and social benefits at national, regional, and local levels, and to our stakeholders and host communities,” said Mr Harris. “Underground mining is more economical for deeper ore deposits, with much less environmental and social impact relative to open pit mining.  At LXML, we are committed to achieving the highest safety and environmental standards and working closely with local communities to share the benefits.”

Underground exploration and development will continue at Sepon through to 2023, with production from the underground mine expected in the second half of 2023.  The underground mine will extend 450 metres below the surface.  The decline access tunnel will be more than 1,800m long, 5m high and 5m wide to accommodate modern underground excavation and drilling equipment.

LXML Sepon has been operating an open-pit gold and copper mine in Savannakhet Province since 2003. Over the past two decades, LXML has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue through taxes and royalties to the Lao Government, and hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through community development, employment, and training.

LXML is committed to mining for excellence as a partner in developing the mining industry in the Lao PDR.

On 5 May 2022, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) represented by Mr Saman Aneka, Managing Director, made a profit tax payment of US$13,348,764.91 million with respect to 2021 Copper and Gold Production, bringing total revenue (including profit tax, royalty, and dividend) paid to the Lao Government in 2021 to US$40.84 million.

Mr Bounpaseuth Sikounlabouth, Director General of Tax Department, Ministry of Finance (right), received the tax payment from Mr Saman Aneka, Managing Director of Lane Xang Minerals Limited (left).

Delegates from Ministry of Finance include Director of Tax Revenue Management Division Mr Vangyia Xainalor, Director of Risk Management and Inspection Division Mr Latsamy Thongbouasy, and team, LXML External Relations Superintendent Ms Daomany Chanphakeo and LXML Accounts Payable and Payroll Superintendent Ms Souknilanh Ouchaleun were also present.

“As a longstanding partner with strong financial contributions to Lao PDR, we’re proud to make this significant contribution as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 shock.

Sepon Project is continuing to grow. As the best performing operation, acknowledged as Grade A (+) by the Lao Ministry of Energy and Mines, Sepon is in track to establish the first modern underground mine in Laos.

LXML supports local contractors such as EDL, Lao State Fuel, Savan Transport and Logistics, and other local business,” said Mr Saman Aneka.

Since production commenced in 2003, LXML Sepon has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government, including over US$827 million in profit tax.

On 5 April 2022, Savannakhet Province and Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to upgrade public Road 28A, a 41.56km two-layered bitumen road from Nabor Village to Villabouly District, Savannakhet where Sepon mine is located.

The road project will provide better access to more than 40,000 local people from Vilabouly District.

Asphaltic Road 28A was initially built by LXML in 2005. This road intersects Road No 9 to Vilabouly Town, between Nabor Village of Sepon District and Vilabouly District, and is an important link in the ‘East-West’ growth corridor for freight and development, connecting Lao PDR with neighbouring Vietnam and Thailand, opening rural areas for agricultural production and other economic activity.

The road has deteriorated after being used over the past decade creating difficulty for traffic, road transport and people living in the area, especially during rainy season.

LXML will contribute US$5 million from its mine closure rehabilitation fund to upgrade public Road 28A. The mine closure rehabilitation fund is maintained by LXML for use in environmental and social rehabilitation after mine closure.

Before 2000s, Vilabouly District was historically isolated, with floods in rainy season limiting transport options. Travellers endured a long arduous journey in boats on rivers, and dirt tracks, which often took at least two days from Nabor Village to Vilabouly District.  Vilabouly and Savannakhet Province suffered from saturation bombing and the legacy of UXO in the area is devastating.

“On behalf of the people of Vilabouly District and Savannakhet Province, I extend my appreciation to LXML for this contribution to development in the Lao PDR, and this significant investment to upgrade Road 28A” said Mr Viengthavisone Thepphachanh, Vice Savannakhet Governor.

The MoU was signed by Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director, and Mr Variya Sichanthongthip, Director of the Savannakhet Planning and Investment Division at the Laoderm Restaurant in Savannakhet Province; witnessed by Mr Viengthavisone Thepphachan, Vice Governor of Savannakhet along with heads of related government offices, representatives of mass organizations, Vilabouly authorities, community members and LXML employees.

“I am very proud that this project and ongoing cooperation with Savannakhet Province will ensure villagers can travel safely and get goods to market” said Mr Saman Aneka. “This new investment will ensure local livelihoods from agriculture, tourism, and other economic activities beyond mine closure.”

All villages in Vilabouly District are now accessible by road. Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has invested approximately US$20 million to construct and maintain local roads in the district, including Route 28A. In addition, LXML provides US$750,000 each year to Vilabouly District through a Community Trust Fund, part of which is used to build local roads in addition to primary health, education, and food security projects.

The company also invested about US$34 million to build and maintain the national electricity grid from Thakhek to Maxahay in cooperation with Electricite Du Laos (EDL).

Since operations commenced, LXML has provided over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government in royalties, dividends, and taxes, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits in employment, training, and local business support, transforming Vilabouly from one of Laos’ poorest districts into a thriving rural economy.

In the past week, LXML has reported an increase in COVID-19 cases due to broader community transmission in Vilabouly District, where Sepon Mine is located. The company is continuing to rigorously trace and test positive cases, most have displayed only mild symptoms or none at all.  All LXML employees have received three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The company has stopped all sporting activities, closed mess and entertainment areas, and is restricting access to site to fully vaccinated persons.

The company continues to closely work with the local, provincial, and central government authorities to keep employees and community safe.

Since January 2022, our Community Relations engaged community members about the risks of unauthorized entry and safety issues around mining sites. It is important to continuously work closely with local leaders to spread the message about safety hazards and access to mining areas.

Our team has reached 61 people in five villages, raising awareness on the dangers of unauthorized entry, including safety along haul roads and other hazards.

In accordance with COVID-19 restrictions, sessions limited the number of participants to include key village leaders and local authorities who will disperse key messages through village loudspeakers and word of mouth to the community.

In addition to these forums, the Community Relations team engaged with community members on important issues related to community development and LXML operations.

The community engagement team will visit five more villages around Sepon mine in the coming weeks to continue to send the message around safety near mining areas.

At Sepon, part of the grade control process involves the monitoring and movement of ore blocks after blasts to minimize ore loss (ore sent to waste), misclassification (ore sent to the wrong destination), and dilution (waste sent to the mill).

Since November 2020, Sepon has used Blast Movement Monitor sensors (BMMs) to monitor blast movement—a process of measuring material movement after blasting.

To date, this process has saved at least US$165,077 in ore loss related costs while US$188,168 has been saved in dilution related costs through the blast movement monitoring system.

How does it work? BMMs are installed in specially designed and drilled holes so operators can understand blast movement dynamics in three dimensions. Blast Movement Technology (BMT) software is applied to monitor post blast movement and processing of blasts before setting out ore blocks in the pit for mining.

This ensures that quality primary ore is delivered to the ROM and fed to the crusher so the planned grade is met and we can achieve our production targets.

Are there are any challenges?  Yes, there are, COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions for Hexagon staff at the time of implementation were overcome with Sepon mine being the first mine in Southeast Asia and amongst the first in the world to remotely implement BMT. The MTS Grade Control Team at Sepon were able to fully implement the system with online support of Hexagon Australia team, Sepon Management, MTS, and Mining Teams. Congratulations!

Next steps? With an expected increase in Primary ore mine production in 2022, we will see an increase in the number of blasts monitored across different pits. Sepon employees recently completed the second phase of BMT training with the final phase scheduled for early April, with two weeks of practical and software training. After the training, 13 employees at Sepon, including a female graduate geologist, will be fully qualified to operate the BMT software.

Hexagon is a global leader in digital reality solutions and has been engaged by LXML Sepon for nearly two years. The company combines sensors, software and autonomous technologies by integrating critical workflows.

“Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” This proverb is at least 120 years old and exists in many cultures and languages. The proverb tells us that it can be more beneficial in the long run to teach a person how to do something than to do that something for them.

How is this reflected in our community development?

In 2020, LXML purchased a new x-ray machine for Vilabouly District Hospital through our Community Development Trust Fund, valued at approximately US$85,000.

Building on this initiative, we provided US$5,000 in training to doctors and others at Vilabouly Hospital to teach the team how to use the machine. The training included interpreting radiology results and maintenance.

The x-ray equipment will enhance capacity and health services at the hospital and local district through timely, accurate and clear diagnostics, where previously patients needed to travel all the way to Kaisone Phomvihane District in Savannakhet to conduct x-rays in serious medical cases. This can now take place quickly in Vilabouly District.

Vilabouly Hospital has since conducted x-rays on nearly 2,000 patients and reduced the number of patient transferals to other district and provincial hospitals.

Moving forward, thanks to LXML’s community development, Vilabouly Hospital will maintain the x-ray machine and transfer knowledge to provide essential medical support to the 45,000 community members in Vilabouly District.

Since 2003, the Community Trust Fund has invested nearly US$910,000 in health projects, of which 35% was allocated to Vilabouly District (US$317,000). The support includes health infrastructure, ambulances, medical supplies and equipment, and capacity building for health officials.

Being an engineer is not for everyone. Engineering demands dedication for analysis that leads to problem-solving, so is already a challenging field of work. However, women in engineering and particularly in the mining industry face additional challenges: stereotypes that hold us back.

Diversity is important for every society, and it is inspiring to be part of a team, the Operations Excellence team in Mining, that makes no distinction between men and women on our jobs. Here, we have the opportunity to prove our potential and talent in roles typically held by men. Our roles in Mining Operations Excellence let us apply our technical knowledge shift after shift while we continue growing as individuals and as a team.

Mining is tough, but it is also enjoyable and rewarding. It has a large variety of work and challenges are a constant. We are part of a team that makes things happen and we have the chance to move beyond production: to make significant impact through our diligent, dedicated, and passionate way of work. This makes us feel motivated and empowered to persevere every day.

We encourage all Lao women to be strong and follow their dreams regardless of stereotypes and challenges: we, women, can face every difficulty and problem that comes our way.

On this International Women’s Day, we urge our colleagues to leave stereotypes behind and support each other regardless of genders. We need to change our mindsets; whatever men can do, women can do, particularly in engineering and mining because we are not women engineers, we are engineers.

Last week, Managing Director of Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine, Mr Saman Aneka presented 80 million kip executive honorary or VVIP membership to the Executive Vice President of the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI), Mr Daovone Phachanthavong.

“This executive honorary membership contribution will further support capacity building and promote the business sector in Laos, especially during the recovery from the impacts of COVID-19,” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director.

This year is the ninth year that LXML has contributed to the LNCCI as a VVIP member.

LXML Sepon has been operating an open-pit gold and copper mine since 2003. Over the past two decades, LXML has contributed over US$1.6 billion in direct revenue through taxes and royalties to the Lao Government, and hundreds of millions in indirect benefits through community development, employment, and training.

More than 40,000 people in Vilabouly have benefitted from the mine’s community development programme totalling US$13 million worth of projects and investment, and community income through local business groups has accumulated to more than US$47 million.

Earlier this month, LXML celebrated a ground-breaking ceremony for an exploration decline at Sepon mine Site. The project is intended to introduce the first modern underground mine in Lao PDR. This new development will extend the life of Sepon mine with modern equipment and advanced mining techniques.

LXML has consistently upheld the A+ rating from the Government of Lao for nearly ten years, and received many awards for its outstanding contribution in Lao PDR and the region including most recently the 2021 Outstanding Business Leader Award for COVID-19 prevention in Laos, the 2020 ASEAN Business Award for Combating COVID-19, and a two-time ASEAN Minerals Awardee in 2019 and 2017.

LXML is committed to mining for excellence and as a partner in development in the Lao PDR.

On 4 February 2022, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon (LXML) Sepon Mine presented 281 ancient cultural artefacts to the Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism in a ceremony celebrating LXML’s significant support over several decades for archaeological research and the protection of cultural heritage in the Lao PDR. Fashioned from stone, copper, iron, ceramics, crucibles, and gems, among others, the items were discovered in the area surrounding Sepon mine.

Since 2008, LXML has invested over US$1.6 million supporting the protection of 3,000 years of Lao history and heritage through an archaeological research program with the Department of Heritage (DoH) of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, the National University of Laos, and James Cook University of Australia. The program sponsors fieldwork uniting a unique community at local, national, and international levels. Volunteers from Vientiane, local villagers, Australian and Lao students, archaeologists and Lao officials stationed at Sepon mine cooperate closely together to conduct archeological research and share findings internationally.

Ms Souansavanh Viyaket, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism and Ms Lingthong Sengtavanh, Vice Governor of Savannakhet Province, presided over the important event in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, acknowledging the company’s long term support for cultural heritage preservation, and the importance of continuing to protect cultural sites to promote tourism in the Lao PDR.

Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director handed the artefacts to Ms Vanpheng Keopanya, Director of the Lao National Museum, Mr Nalathiveth Ammalathithada, Director of Savannakhet Museum, and Ms Khanha Sayasane, Head of Vilabouly Cultural Hall in the presence of Mr Khamphouy Sibounheuang, Governor of Vilabouly District and Mr Paul Harris, LXML General Manager of LXML.

The cultural artefacts will be on display at the Lao National Museum (130 items, Savannakhet Museum (68 items), and Vilabouly Cultural Hall (83 items) for the education and enjoyment of the population and international visitors. In 2019, LXML handed 7,881 important cultural artefacts to the Lao Government for the collection.

“I am overjoyed that LXML is continuing to support archeological research and preservation of Lao PDR’s cultural heritage,” said Ms Souansavanh Viyaket, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism. “These items will always be on display for everyone to enjoy to encourage historical knowledge and research.”

“LXML is proud to support cooperation with the Department of Heritage,” said Mr Paul Harris, LXML General Manager. “The artefacts open a door into fascinating ancient civilizations to show us how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. The Vilabouly Cultural Hall is an exciting drawcard for tourists wishing to travel within Laos.”

Remarkable discoveries of artefacts and heritage sites have been made in the area surrounding Sepon mine. In March 2018, a team of archaeologists discovered evidence of more than 200 ancient mine shafts dating back over 3,000 years.

Vilabouly is acknowledged internationally as one of the first mining and metallurgy sites in Southeast Asia.  Ancient mining practices continued there until about 1,300 years ago, (700 AD), where people excavated rich copper ore and refined it in Peun Baolo and Thong Na-Gneuak (Dragon or “Naga Serpent” Field) locations, and people have exchanged minerals and metals ever since in an thought-provoking example of thriving regional trade routes dating back several centuries.

Other artefacts found include mining equipment such as wooden ladders, pulleys, mallets, painted bamboo baskets, and rope made from lianas; a large ‘Dong Son’ bronze era drum currently on display at the National Museum in Vientiane; and crucibles, copper ingots, jewellery, ceremonial items, weapons, pottery, and other artefacts highlighting Laos’ pivotal place in regional history.

Mining has been essential in the development of civilisation and society throughout history. Excavations will continue and we look forward to reveal more exciting discoveries about Lao culture and history.

An emergency rescue team from Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) responded to a serious incident involving artisanal miners in Vilabouly District near Sepon mine site in Savannakhet Province at approximately 8.00pm on 31 January 2022.

Two men (23 and 27 years) searching for malachite (copper, or ‘green rocks’) were trapped several meters underground by falling rocks in an improvised tunnel they were digging on the side of a mountain. Other men were able to escape to raise the alarm.

Organised gangs and unscrupulous traders often encourage vulnerable community members, including young children, to take grave risks so they can profit from peril. This incident highlights the many dangers associated with illegal and unregulated mining practices. Many people have been killed in Laos and surrounding countries in similar incidents.

After a fruitless attempt to dig them out, the men’s families and the village head sought assistance from LXML to rescue the two men. LXML immediately notified police and local authorities. The location was remote and difficult to access, the ground was wet, and with the risk of rockslides and rain approaching in the darkness, hundreds of LXML employees toiled around the clock with special equipment to save the lives of the men trapped in the tunnel. After about fourteen hours, LXML’s mining team were able to create a bench for an excavator to access the area and rescue the two men, who are recovering in hospital surrounded by relieved family members, suffering from a few scratches and bruises, lucky to be alive.

 “We were extremely concerned for the safety of a number of villagers, including the families of the two men, who could have been killed if a landslide had closed the tunnel”, said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager. “The actions of the illegal traders placed dozens of community lives in danger. We pray others will take this as a lesson, think of their families, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, wives and children, before taking such risks in future.”

LXML reported on the incident to the Ministry of Mines in Vientiane, Vilabouly District, and Savannakhet Provincial Government, and is continuing to work closely with local communities and security authorities to raise awareness and stop illegal traders placing local people’s lives at risk to prevent a recurrence.

On 29 December, Lane Xang Minerals Limited received a ‘Top Business Leader’ award for its COVID-19 Response. The event was organized by the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI) at the National Convention Centre in Vientiane.

LXML was acknowledged for its contribution to the prevention of COVID-19 in Lao PDR.

The Lao Prime Minister, His Excellency Phankham Viphavanh, presided over the event, and the award was conferred by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Mr Khampheng Saysompheng.

“I am very proud to receive on behalf of LXML” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “We have worked well as a team for many months to eliminate COVID-19 from our site. In cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Lao National COVID-19 Committee, Savannakhet Provincial COVID-19 Committee, and the Vilabouly District COVID-19 Committee, we have strictly followed testing, tracing, quarantine, and isolation procedures for the protection of employees, contractors, and the local community.”

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, LXML has provided approximately US$500,000 to the Lao Government to support emergency response efforts. LXML supported testing in Vilabouly District and provided hygiene facilities to Savannakhet Provincial Health Department.

Thanks to the support of the Savannakhet Health Department, 99% of LXML’s 5000 employees and contractors have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and most have now received a third booster dose of the vaccine. LXML is continuing to maintain strict COVID-19 prevention measures.

Since operations commenced in 2002, LXML has contributed over US$1.6 billion dollars in direct revenue to the Lao Government through taxes, royalties and dividends, US$50 million in infrastructure development and cultural heritage preservation, US$52 million in UXO clearance, and hundreds of millions of dollars of indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and other support programs.

More than 40,000 community members in Vilabouly District, where Sepon mine is located, have benefitted from approximately US$20 million in community development programs. Community income through local business groups has accumulated to US$46 million.

Last week, Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director, and Executive Vice President of the Advisory Council of the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, joined the Public-Private Forum chaired by His Excellency Phankham Viphavanh, Prime Minister of the Lao PDR.

The purpose of the two-day meeting, attended by Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, business leaders, and representatives of Party and State bodies, was to enhance public-private collaboration to overcome economic challenges facing the country from the COVID-19 crisis and recovery.

“The public and private sectors cannot act independently,” said Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh. “They must cooperate as partners to jointly develop Lao PDR and alleviate poverty.”[1]

Participants discussed improvement of the ‘one-stop’ service for investors, commercial agricultural production, strengthening the processing industry for the domestic and export market, promotion of the service sector, allocation of land along the Lao-China railway for agricultural development, industry and services, skills development, and job creation.

From the LNCCI Advisory Council and LXML’s perspective (Lao PDR’s largest mining company), Mr Saman Aneka, who has 30 years of experience in the international mining sector, proposed recommendations to promote responsible mining investment. Taking into account the evolving global economic climate, he reinforced that mining operations in Lao PDR must stringently follow regulations. Any shortcuts in assessing and monitoring projects may encourage inexperienced investors, resulting in financial losses and other possible impact. The Government would also not receive revenue from any failed operations, with potential consequences for environmental rehabilitation and mine closure. Responsible investors are required to comply with international environmental and social standards for the benefit of society and to stimulate economic recovery following the COVID-19 crisis.

“Lao PDR needs a strong transparent investment and regulatory framework to attract and retain quality and responsible investors in mining and other sectors,” said Saman Aneka. “This will help to create employment, revenue, and other benefits to support the Lao Government and communities in addressing COVID-19 recovery and alleviating social hardship through sustainable development.”

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, LXML provided approximately US$500,000 to the Lao Government to support emergency response efforts in Lao PDR. 99% of LXML’s 5000 employees and contractors are vaccinated against COVID-19 and maintain strict prevention measures.

Since operations commenced in 2002, LXML has contributed over US$1.6 billion dollars in direct revenue to the Lao Government through taxes, royalties and dividends, US$50 million in infrastructure development and cultural heritage preservation, US$52 million in UXO clearance, and hundreds of millions of dollars of indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and other support programs.

More than 40,000 community members in Vilabouly District, where Sepon mine is located, have benefitted from approximately US$20 million in community development programs. Community income through local business groups has accumulated to US$46 million.

LXML is committed to mining excellence in cooperation with the Lao Government to ensure the continuing success of Sepon Operation for the benefit of all stakeholders.

While fatalities from road accidents, smoking, cancer, and COVID-19 are highly visible on media platforms, deaths and injuries from UXO accidents continue to impact on communities in Lao PDR.

In 2021, Lao PDR has recorded 31 UXO accidents involving 44 injuries and 11 fatalities.

UXO work has been delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak resulting in a higher number of casualties compared to previous years.

In perspective, Laos is the most heavily bombed country, per capita, in history. Over two million tonnes – estimated 270 million – of explosive ordinance was dropped on Laos between 1964 and 1973. Up to 30% failed to detonate, and only 1% has been removed or destroyed since 1996.

Sepon mine is situated in one of the most bombed districts in Laos. That is why LXML has integrated UXO clearance as part of our mining operational cycle to ensure employees, community, and our operation are safe from UXO incidents.

Since 1996, LXML has invested US$52 million in UXO clearance and destroyed 60,000 items, of which 90% of these are UXOs – ready to explode on impact.

Over the last decade, the golden rule for the UXO Team is to not dismantle or unnecessarily remove UXOs. They must be destroyed where they are found.

“Everyone in our team understands the high risk associated with our work. Incidents can happen anytime if we don’t follow technical standards” said Palivath Inthavong, P&S Delivery Superintendent. “Any mistake can mean a loss of life. There is no time for second chances so we must take care to ensure our teams are well trained and experienced to carry out this dangerous work.”

LXML’s UXO Team is continuing to work closely with local communities and government authorities to detect and destroy UXO surrounding our operations to make everyone safer.

The team has achieved a milestone of five years injury free performing UXO clearance activities.

LXML works closely with the Government to keep our employees and community safe from COVID-19. To date LXML provided US$483,000 to support the Government’s effort for COVID-19 prevention and response including to support vaccination programs, testing capacity, and treatment facilities.

Thanks to the 8,700 vaccines supported by the Government of Lao PDR, LXML successfully fully vaccinated our employees and contractors within three months from April to July 2021. 99% of our 5000 employees and contractors have a shield of protection against COVID-19.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine recently celebrated 228 employees for service ranging from five to twenty years. LXML holds a award ceremony every year coinciding with Lao National Day to acknowledge employees for their contribution to the operation’s success.

This year marks 28 years for LXML Sepon since its inception, and almost 20 years since operations commenced. Approximately five thousand employees and contractors have contributed to the growth of LXML Sepon, learning professional skills and creating livelihoods.

94 per cent of LXML employees are Lao, 75 per cent are from local communities, and more than 20 per cent of these are women. Over several decades, LXML has invested millions of dollars in human resource development, including scholarships, internships, on-the-job training, and apprenticeship programs. LXML is continuing to support career growth and employee aspirations to develop Lao professionals for the benefit of the Lao PDR.

Since operations commenced, LXML Sepon has contributed over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue through taxes and royalties to the Lao Government, and hundreds of millions in indirect benefits through community development, employment, and training.

“The skills and experience employees have attained throughout the years are invaluable” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager in his address to this year’s awardees. “These skills are an asset for LXML, and assets that will reside with you wherever your work in Lao PDR.”

“Employees are our number one asset, and they deliver our safe production living our values each and every day” added Paul Harris. “The last two years have been especially challenging with the COVID-19 pandemic keeping employees away from families and requiring them to complete quarantine and longer rosters. I am very proud and thankful to our 5,000 employees and contractors for their ongoing contribution to our success.”

This year the long-service award ceremony was scaled-down in observation of COVID-19 preventive measures and awards were handed to employees by managers in low key events to avoid large gatherings.

LXML has provided approximately US$500,000 in support through the Ministry of Health at central, provincial and district level to support the Lao Government’s response to COVID-19, including testing and medical equipment, and construction of dedicated quarantine and sanitation facilities.

Savannakhet Province has now declared Sepon Mine a ‘Green Zone’ after more than 30 days with no evidence of COVID-19 infection on site.

In an outbreak detected on 22 August, 33 persons, including 25 contractors, and eight LXML employees tested positive to COVID-19. All cases were linked to the original source of infection with transport contractors, and many cases were detected off site through LXML’s COVID-19 testing and quarantine protocols.

People who tested positive to COVID-19 were placed in approved treatment facilities, and all have now recovered and been safely discharged after 14-days quarantine at a government quarantine center and 14-days at home. Since the first cases were identified, LXML has conducted over 12.500 COVID-19 tests on LXML employees and contractors with no further evidence of positive cases. LXML has also provided COVID-19 tests for local communities.

While extended lockdowns and restrictions have impacted our lives, keeping us away from families, and from doing things we enjoy, community transmission in Lao PDR is continuing, and LXML is consistently complying with COVID-19 restrictions to ensure the safety of employees, contractors and communities.

LXML introduced strict hygiene, quarantine, tracing and testing measures aligned with the Lao Government’s prevention orders to quickly identify the source of spread and isolate potential cases. The company immediately introduced a site lockdown and cooperated closely with authorities at the district, provincial, and central level as well as local contractors to prevent spread.

Thanks to the support of Savannakhet Health Department, approximately 5,000 LXML contractors and employees (99% of the workforce) have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. A vaccination certificate is now compulsory for access to Sepon site, and in Vientiane and Savannakhet Offices.

LXML is committed to working closely in cooperation with the Lao Government to enhance capacity to prevent spread of COVID-19. LXML has provided COVID-19 test kits, equipment and financial support to Vilabouly District to establish a field hospital, and Savannakhet Province to upgrade quarantine facilities, as well as a PCR machine and associated equipment to support the province’s efforts to protect the population from COVID-19. To date, LXML has provided $US450,000 in support to the Lao Government for COVID-19 prevention and response efforts.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has contributed over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government, in additional to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through community development, employment, training, and support for local business in Savannakhet Province and Lao PDR.

Today, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine donated a RT – PCR COVID-19 machine and associated supplies to Savannakhet Health Division to improve testing and tracing capacity in the province.

The equipment builds on LXML’s previous support to Savannakhet, including a hygiene facility in a site hospital, medical supplies, and direct financial contributions of over US$112,000 to support the pandemic response. LXML also donated WHO approved rapid test kits, and established a field hospital in Vilabouly District. To date, LXML has donated approximately US$450,000 to assist the Lao Government with COVID-19 prevention and emergency response measures.

“We recognise active and timely contact tracing, testing, quarantining, treatment, and vaccines are crucial in containing the spread of COVID-19,” said Mr Saman Aneka, Managing Director, LXML Sepon. “We hope our assistance will ensure that local communities and Savannakhet Province are protected from COVID-19. We are working closely with all stakeholders at central, provincial, and district levels.”

The PCR machine was handed to Mrs Lingthong Sengtavanh, Savannakhet Vice Governor and Head of the Provincial COVID-19 TAskforce, by Mr Thonekeo Phoutthakayalath, LXML Advisor. Savannakhet now has four PCR machines with a capacity of 720 tests per day.

Thanks to the support of Savannakhet Health Department, approximately 5,000 LXML contractors and employees (99% of the workforce) have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and presentation of a valid vaccine certificate is required for entry to Sepon mine and LXML offices in Vientiane and Savannakhet. LXML is committed to supporting the Lao Government’s response and efforts to prevent spread of COVID-19.

Savannakhet Governor, Mr Santhiphap Phomvihane, visited Vilabouly District on 21 September to review measures to respond to the spread of COVID-19. During the visit, Vilabouly District Governor, Mr Khamphoui Sibounheuang, announced a decision to reclassify Sepon Project, operated by Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), from a red to a yellow zone following confirmation of 17 days of zero infection. All villages in Vilabouly District have now been declared free of COVID-19 and some restrictions have been relaxed.

After identifying several positive COVID-19 cases with local transport contractors, Sepon Project put in place strict hygiene, quarantine, tracing and testing measures aligned with the Lao Government’s prevention orders to quickly identify the source of spread and isolate potential cases. The company immediately introduced a site lockdown and cooperated closely with authorities at the district, provincial, and central level as well as local contractors to prevent spread.

In total, 33 persons, including 25 contractors, and 8 LXML employees tested positive. All cases were linked to the original source of infection with transport contractors. People who tested positive were placed in approved treatment facilities and have now been discharged safely. After treatment, all of the positive cases also completed a further 14-days quarantine at a government quarantine center and 7 days at home.

Since the first cases were identified on 22 August, LXML has conducted 11,000 COVID-19 tests on LXML employees and contractors with no further positive cases.

Thanks to the support of Savannakhet Health Department, approximately 5,000 LXML contractors and employees (99% of the workforce) have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. A vaccination certificate is now compulsory for access to Sepon site, and in Vientiane and Savannakhet Offices. The company is following national quarantine and testing procedures.

LXML is committed to working closely in cooperation with the Lao Government to enhance capacity to prevent spread of COVID-19. LXML has provided COVID-19 test kits, equipment and financial support to Vilabouly District to establish a field hospital, and Savannakhet Province to upgrade quarantine facilities, as well as a PCR machine and associated equipment to support the province’s efforts to protect the population from COVID-19. To date, LXML has provided $US450,000 in support to the Lao Government for COVID-19 prevention and response efforts.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has contributed over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government, in additional to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through community development, employment, training, and support for local business in Savannakhet Province and Lao PDR.

Yesterday, Savannakhet Governor, Mr Santhiphab Phomevihane and a delegation from Savannakhet Health Department visited Sepon mine and Vilabouly District to review COVID-19 preventive measures. Governor Santhiphap inspected LXML Clinic to view testing of employees, quarantine and isolation centers, contact tracing, and other preventive measures.

This week, LXML reported 7 confirmed cases including 5 contractors and 2 employees. All of the positive cases are in a stable condition in treatment facilities in Savannakhet.

With the rising number of cases in Savannakhet where our mine is located, and across Lao PDR, LXML has implemented strict measures to prevent COVID-19 at Sepon, including Antigen testing for all employees and contractors before returning to site.  We have vaccinated more than 99% of our entire workforce of 5,000 people.  Our team is moving quickly and working with district and provincial authorities to contact trace, test, and isolate potential cases.

We have tested 3,300 employees and contractors over the last two days, with almost 2,000 tests today all returning negative results. We aim to complete testing of our entire workforce by Sunday.  To date we have had 13 positive Antigen test results that are waiting for a confirmation PCR test.  We will continue testing and trace any cases to ensure the safety of our workforce and local communities.

Today LXML provided Vilabouly Hospital with antigen test kits and will continue to support the community to prevent spread of the virus.

We have strict COVID-19 prevention measures in place and will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and communities close to Sepon mine.

On 24 August 2021, following initial positive antigen test results, five LXML contractors received positive PCR tests for COVID-19. Two of these returned positive Antigen tests in Savannakhet on 23 August prior to travel to Sepon Mine. LXML has conducted 311 Antigen tests since 23 August, which helped us to identify these cases. All five confirmed cases are in a stable condition and are receiving treatment in a state facility in Savannakhet in accordance with procedures set out by the COVID-19 Taskforce.

LXML is conducting extensive contact tracing to identify potential sources of infection and isolating potential contacts. All LXML employees and contractors travelling to Sepon Mine receive either a PCR test in Vientiane or Antigen tests in Savannakhet or Sepon Site Access gate before being allowed entry to Sepon Mine. This serves as a precautionary measure to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.

LXML is cooperating closely with the Lao Government’s COVID19 Taskforce and authorities in Savannakhet Province, and will continue to support quarantine and testing measures to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and communities.

LXML has implemented additional precautionary measures, including suspension of travel to and from Sepon Mine, enforcement of physical distancing measures, and enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of work areas.

LXML has vaccinated almost all employees and contractors, providing an important control to prevent COVID-19. Only persons who have received a vaccine are permitted access to the site and offices in Savannakhet and Vientiane Capital.

On 10 August 2021, Chifeng Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) addressed sixty Lao Government and community representatives in Vientiane on Sepon mine’s progress and future plans. LXML General Manager, Mr Paul Harris, delivered a business update on the company’s plans to extend Sepon’s mine life through extensive exploration and significant investment in new plant and equipment.

The meeting was chaired by the Deputy Minister of Energy and Mines, Mr Thongphat Inthavong, and the Vice Governor of Savannakhet Province, Mr Viengthavisone Thephachanh. Multiple government agencies, including the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Planning and Investment, Ministry of Finance, Labour Ministry, community representatives and grass roots organisations also attended the meeting. LXML routinely holds stakeholder meetings at regular intervals, but this meeting had been postponed temporarily due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Participants addressed safety and environmental performance, the challenges of operating during the COVID-19 crisis, economic benefits to the Lao PDR, infrastructure, labour issues, plans for mine closure and community development. Thanks to support from the Savannakhet Department of Health, LXML Sepon has fully vaccinated 82 per cent of its workforce of approximately 5,000 employees and contractors, and 95 per cent with a single dose. LXML has introduced strict hygiene measures, including quarantine and testing, and is striving to vaccinate all employees and contractors to prevent spread of COVID-19 and protect employees, families, and communities.

“Sepon operation faced many challenges, but with ongoing support from stakeholders, we are confident we’ll overcome them,” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager

Chifeng LXML has contributed US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government in taxes, royalties, and dividends since operations commenced in 2003, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in indirect benefits through local procurement, business and community development. LXML Sepon has entered a phase of regeneration and growth due to Chifeng’s investment to realize the potential of gold resources and other minerals in Lao PDR.

Chifeng Jilong Gold Chairman Mr Wang Jianhua made a courtesy call on National Assembly Vice President Mr Sommad Pholsena, and Vice Minister of Energy and Mines Mr Thongphat Inthavong on 4 August 2021 during his second visit to Laos, following Chifeng’s takeover of Lane Xang Minerals Limited’s (LXML) Sepon Mine in 2018. Mr Wang reported positive progress at Sepon mine and confirmed that Chifeng is planning to expand its presence in Lao PDR.

Mr Wang thanked the Lao Government for its support for LXML and Sepon mine.

Chifeng recommenced gold production in 2020 and extended the life of LXML’s Sepon mine so it can continue to deliver economic benefits to Lao PDR.

“Safety and environmental protection are the most important priorities in mining” said Mr Wang Jianhua, Chifeng Jilong Gold Chairman.

LXML is a model enterprise in Lao PDR and is consistently awarded an A+ rating by the Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining international mining, environmental protection, community development, and safety standards.

“I am pleased to witness the progress of the Sepon operation during a challenging time with the global COVID-19 pandemic,” added Mr Wang. “Chifeng reaffirm our commitment to cooperate closely with the Lao Government to support employment and economic development in Lao PDR, and through this global pandemic.” 

H.E. Mr Sommad Pholsena, Vice President of the Lao National Assembly praised Chifeng and LXML’s support during the COVID-19 pandemic. LXML has contributed over US$370,000 to the Lao Government for vaccines, testing, health workers, quarantine, rescue foundations, and other emergency support.

Chifeng Jilong Gold Chairman Mr Wang Jianhua visited Sepon mine to witness the commissioning phase of Lane Xang Minerals Limited’s (LXML) new oxygen plant, and to celebrate this significant event with the LXML team.

The new oxygen plant is a component of LXML’s ‘Sepon 2.5 Project’ designed to increase capacity of Sepon’s primary ore processing circuit from the current 1.5Mtpa to more than 2.5Mtpa. Chifeng has invested hundreds of millions to secure LXML Sepon’s future. These investments will support increased gold production and extend Sepon’s mine life beyond ten years.

“I am honoured to witness the progress of the Sepon operation.  Sepon has grown in leaps and bounds over the last two years,” said Mr Wang Jianhua, Chifeng Jilong Gold Chairman. ”I am thankful to all our employees and contractors, and for the strong partnership we have with the Government and community. Lao PDR is a favourable place to invest and do business. “

During his visit Mr Wang met with Sepon employees and key stakeholders from the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

In 2021, LXML’s anticipated gold production guidance is 7.6 tonnes. New plant and equipment will come online in the next 18 to 24 months to assist the company in safely achieving production targets.

LXML strives to maintain international standards, excellence in mining, and achieve strong production results as an important development partner in Lao PDR.

HE Khamphanh Phommathat, member of the Politburo and Secretariat of the Party Central Committee, President of the Party Inspection Committee, and Chair of the State Inspection Authority, and Head of the Anti-Corruption Authority and a large delegation, visited Sepon Mine on 16 July 2021 to review progress in increasing gold production, environmental compliance, safety standards, COVID-19 compliance measures, community development achievements, and cooperation with the local authority.

LXML is a model enterprise in Lao PDR and is consistently awarded an A+ rating by the Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining international mining standards.

“LXML is committed to cooperation and open communication as a development partner with the Lao Government” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “LXML is proud of our contribution to socio-economic development in Lao PDR.”

Since operations commenced in 2003, Sepon mine has produced over 1.2 million ounces of gold and 1 million tonnes of copper cathode; contributing over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao PDR in taxes, royalties, and dividends.

Indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local contract partners and suppliers (including EDL, Lao State Fuel, Savan Logistics) have also had a significant positive impact on social and economic development in Laos. LXML has invested millions of dollars in development and training.  More than 40,000 people in Vilabouly benefit from community development programs totalling US$13 million worth of projects and investment (through annual trust fund and livelihood projects targeted towards the most vulnerable families near Sepon mine), and community income through local business groups has accumulated to US$33 million. LXML currently employs approximately 5,000 people during a development phase to build new plant and equipment to increase gold production and extend the life of the mine.

As a significant development partner and taxpayer in Lao PDR, LXML is committed to mining for excellence and prosperity for all.

Last week, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon mine unearthed several artefacts dated to approximately 2,000 years ago within the Sepon mine area. The artefacts included axes and a large vase used in burial rituals during the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age.

A similar pot was found in 2008 in the Thong Na-Gneuak (Dragon Field) – a heritage site that is being proposed as a Savannakhet Heritage Site.

LXML’s cultural heritage and archaeological team discovered another vase with iron axes, copper jewelry, and pearls believed to originate from the 12^th century; and modern tools from the Lanexang Era between the 17^th and 19^th century.

Earlier this year, LXML uncovered hundreds of 6,000 years old from the Stone Age era.

Since operations commenced in 2003, LXML has sponsored an important cultural heritage program in Vilabouly District with the cooperation of the Ministry of Information, Tourism and Culture and the Lao National University to ensure historical artefacts are preserved for the benefit of future generations. Some of these objects are on display in a cultural heritage museum in Vilabouly, in Savannakhet Museum, and in the National Museum in Vientiane.

“Our value is underpinned by our respect for the tradition and culture of our host community” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “Since 2008, LXML invested over US$1.5 million to support the Lao PDR in archaeological research and cultural heritage preservation for future generations.”

Remarkable discoveries of artefacts and heritage sites have been made at the Sepon mine. We believe ancient mining around Sepon mine continued to about 1,300 years ago (700AD) where people have excavated the rich copper ore then refined it in the so-called Peun Baolo and Thong Na-Gneuak (Dragon Field) locations and exchanged minerals and metals since then. These dates have been confirmed from the examination of bamboo matting found in the mentioned well-preserved ancient mine-shaft support structures laid in the compacted wet clay just below the surface (10 to 40 metres deep).

Mining has been essential in the development of civilization and society throughout history. Excavations will continue and we look forward to reveal more exciting discoveries about Lao culture and history.

15 June 2021, National Assembly President, HE Dr Xaysomphone Phomvihane, unveiled a monument in Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, dedicated to former Lao President and father of the Lao nation, HE Kaysone Phomvihane.

Accompanied by a large delegation, including Savannakhet Governor, Mr Santiphab Phomvihane, Dr Xaysomphone also visited Lane Xang Minerals’ (LXML) Sepon Mine to review progress in gold production and LXML’s environment, safety, and community development achievements. LXML is a model enterprise in Lao PDR and is consistently awarded an A+ rating by the Ministry of Energy and Mines for maintaining international mining, environmental protection, community development, and safety standards.

The monument to President Kaysone Phomvihane was supported by LXML’s Community Trust Fund, which has also established a Cultural Heritage Centre in Vilabouly District to encourage tourism to the region.

“At LXML we always strive so support the development of our employees and host communities” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director.

“We are very proud to support this monument in Vilabouly District, in the heart of Savannakhet Province, home to the founder of the party and the Lao Peoples’ Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), dedicated to former President Kaysone Phomvihane.”

The ground-breaking ceremony took place at Vilabouly District Office. Under leadership of Vilabouly District, in collaboration with LXML, construction commenced in February 2021.

Since 2003, LXML’s Community Trust Fund (TF) has invested US$10 million to support Vilabouly District and Savannakhet Province to improve livelihoods in alignment with the Lao Government’s National Socio-Economic Development Plan.

As a significant development partner in Lao PDR, LXML is committed to mining for excellence and prosperity for all.

The first modern drone – unmanned aerial vehicle – was developed in 1935 to train pilots. Since then, drones have been used by various industries from the military to agriculture, entertainment, and mining.

At LXML we use drones to help us to meet mining goals and keep our employees and communities safe. Drones are excellent tools to accomplish mine planning, operational, environmental, and community management work. Drones give us an expansive aerial view of a large footprint and enable us to access remote areas.

24 LXML employees from our mining, environment, and community relations teams – three of which are female – pilot our drones for day to day work.

Drill and blasting operations routinely take place at Sepon before we can mine ore. Our pilots fly drones every day to ensure people and animals are not within the exclusive zone (500m radius) before blasting. We also use post-blasting footage to analyse and monitor safety aspects, especially when the blast is near communities.

In mining activities, drones are used to explore terrain, plan pits, capture mining progress, assess vehicle traffic, and verify operational conditions. In environment, drones help us review rehabilitation and water management activities. In our community work, drones support grievance resolution and land access work.

Let’s meet three of LXML’s female drone captains and acknowledge their skills.

Chanthavy Inthasouk, Drill and Blast Engineer, a Vientiane Capital resident

Chanthavy is the only female among five members in the Drill and Blasting Team who can operate a drone. She joined LXML in April 2020.

“I trained how to operate a drone for a week and have now been flying for a year. I find it particularly challenging flying a drone in the rainy season, flying over steep mountains, and when the signal cuts off between the drone and controller!”

Bountone Sitthideth, Grievance and Cultural Heritage Officer, a Vilabouly District resident

Bountome is the only female among four members of the Community Relations team who can operate a drone.

“I trained to operate a drone for one month and have been flying for six months. I fly drones to get a clear view of areas that may have potential impacts from our operations, such as community ponds, or rice paddies. Drone images help us to assess community grievances. I think it is very important for drone operators to focus and concentrate when flying in difficult landscapes like steep mountains.”

Bouaphanh Phienasa, Engineer – Mining Continuous Improvement, a Vientiane Capital resident

Bouaphanh is the only female among five members in the Mining Team who can operate a drone.

“I trained for two weeks and started flying in early May. I find the best time to fly a drone is after 10.00am when there is good lighting with little wind. Our department uses drones for several tasks; to review drill and blast activities, capture mining progress on different pits and plot the evolution in time of various development activities, among other things. Drones let us have great views of the operation to have better insights.”

Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon mine donated US$15,000 to Savannakhet Province to support COVID-19 response.

A mail-order bride, generally known as a mail-order bride, may be a foreign girl who data herself designed for marriage with a person in america. In the early twentieth hundred years, this practice was primarily geared towards females living in reduced developed countries seeking males in industrialized www.yourbrideglobal.com countries. It was not really until the 1950’s that mailbox order wedding brides became popular with educated women of all ages from the Usa. The primary rationale being that this allowed these kinds of women to leave their families, like a better lifestyle, and go after an occupation which may have been usually unavailable.

As was your case with earlier sorts of marriage, a mail-order star of the wedding from the Usa requires a groom who can give financial support. Although this bride usually lives in us states, she may come from another world country where fiscal security is definitely not available. With respect to such ladies and for others just like them, marriage does not come easily. For some men, setting up a relationship agency may seem to be a method to make this kind of possibility possible. This idea has taken hold in both the producing and the created world, offering brides in the United States when using the opportunity to get married to someone out of anywhere in the world. For this reason, this program has become very well liked in locations in which traditional marital life is not really a viable alternative.

Mailbox order brides to be offer a exclusive solution to a predicament which has no other solution readily available. It allows for the partnerships of people who could otherwise do not have had the chance to fulfill their very own potential in either discipline. For instance, all who have come from a third world country and lack the opportunity pertaining to higher education and employment will be able to take advantage of the chances that relationship provides. On the other hand, those who inhabit industrialized countries and shortage the opportunity to move to a less crowded area or to a further country, can use confer with mail-order wedding brides to fulfill all their need for a husband that’s financially secure.

Ship order wedding brides come from all the parts of the former Soviet Union. The most common countries in which these types of brides come in include Ukraine, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Finland. Every one of these countries have one thing in prevalent: they are financially stable countries where funds is greatly circulated and no large populations of unfounded individuals (in contrast towards the United States, exactly where many of these immigrants come from huge cities and also have a low education level). As well, these countries have a large number of native Russian speakers, in order that there is small chance that the star of the wedding will be unable to communicate with her groom. In short, for any few from the United states of america struggling to create their lives as husband and wife, these marriages make sense.

In terms of legal issues are concerned, it is advisable to consult legal counsel who specializes in immigration law. The mail-order bride-to-be industry makes it easy to prevent many aspects for the immigration procedure. For example , a lot of countries require that the brides to be pay visa service fees in advance, and some do not. Talking to an migration lawyer in cases like this can ensure that you get what you under legal standing deserve: a visa to stay permanently.

The fact is that mail-order brides work. But their main function is not to simply help a possible matrimony. The Russian bride, for instance, may be enthusiastic about establishing a residence of her own in the usa. This would produce a lot of sense in cases where she is truly interested in getting married to a male who shares her hobbies and perhaps possibly her nationality. However , if this is not the case, then your reasons that she has designed for approaching an international marriage agency to start a new life in america may have been motivated more simply by financial worries than simply by genuine interests in relationship. For that reason, it is well worth your time to be good about once approaching this sort of online dating sites – don’t let your greed blind you.

While fatalities from road accidents, smoking, cancer, and COVID-19 are highly visible on media platforms, deaths and injuries from UXO accidents continue to impact on communities in Lao PDR.

In 2021, Lao PDR has recorded 31 UXO accidents involving 44 injuries and eleven fatalities.

UXO work has been delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak resulting in a higher number of casualties compared to previous years.

In perspective, Laos is the most heavily bombed country, per capita, in history. Over two million tonnes – estimated 270 million – of explosive ordinance was dropped on Laos between 1964 and 1973. Up to 30% failed to detonate, and only 1% has been removed or destroyed since 1996. That is why Lao PDR has its own Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 18 on ‘lives safe from UXO’.

Sepon mine in Vilabouly District of Savannakhet Province, is situated in one of the most bombed districts in Laos. That is why Lane Xang Minerals Limited has been integrating UXO clearance as part of our mining operational cycle to ensure employees, community, and our operation are safe from UXO incidents. LXML has a dedicated internationally certified UXO team that clears these silent killers from exploration, before civil engineering and mining phase through to supporting our community development projects and instilling knowledge about the danger of UXO to our host and local community.

Over the last decade, the golden rule for the UXO Team is to not dismantle or unnecessarily remove UXOs. They must be destroyed where they are found. Everyone in our team understands the high risk associated with our work. Incidents can happen anytime if we don’t follow technical standards. Any mistake can mean a loss of life. There is no time for second chances so we must take care to ensure our teams are well trained and experienced to carry out this dangerous work. The team has achieved a milestone of five years injury free performing UXO clearance activities.

Since 1996, LXML has invested US$52 million in UXO clearance and destroyed nearly 60,000 items, of which 90% of these are UXOs – ready to explode on impact. In 2021 alone, 1,368 unsafe items were destroyed and over 7 million square metres of land was cleared of UXO.  LXML has recently extended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lao Ministry of Defence. This long-term partnership supports UXO clearance around Sepon mine and enhances technical capacity for the benefit of future generations.  Testing new UXO clearance methods and technology continues in partnership with the Lao Ministry of Defence.

LXML is continuing to work closely with local communities and government authorities to detect and destroy UXO surrounding our operations to make everyone safer.

At Sepon mine UXO clearance is an integral part of mining operations. The bombing of Laos delivered a deadly legacy and Sepon mine is located in one of the most bombed areas in the country.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon mine recently extended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lao Ministry of Defence. This long-term partnership supports UXO clearance around Sepon mine and enhances technical capacity for the benefit of future generations.

The MoU was signed by Colonel Viengxay Xaiysamone, Director General of the Engineering Department and Mr Songlin Zhang, LXML Mine Technical Service Manager; and witnessed by Lieutenant Colonel Patthana Boutichack, Cabinet Deputy Chief of the General Staff Department and Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director, on 26 February 2021.

Recently, we unearthed hundreds of ancient artefacts, built on our two-decades long partnership with the Lao Government, University of Laos, and James Cook University of Australia.

Archaeologists have unearthed hundreds of 6,000-year-old artefacts at Napakhen village, Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province, Lao PDR. These included axes and implements from the Paleolithic era (Stone Age) – when humans began making tools before the introduction of mining and trading in this region.

These discoveries are possible due to a partnership between Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), the Department of Heritage (DoH) of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, the National University of Laos, and James Cook University of Australia. The fieldwork has united a unique community at local, national and international levels over several decades. Volunteers from Vientiane, local villagers, Australian and Lao students, archaeologists, and officials from the DoH cooperate to conduct research. This discovery resulted from field work on 9 to 25 January 2021. Four field missions are held every year.

Since 2003, LXML has invested over US$1.5 million to support archaeological research and cultural heritage preservation for future generations in Lao PDR.

Remarkable discoveries have been made at Sepon mine. In March 2018, archaeologists found more than 200 antique mine shafts dating back over 3,000 years. Vilabouly is recognised as one of the first mining and metallurgy areas in Southeast Asia.  We believe ancient mining around Sepon mine continued to about 1,300 years ago (700 AD) where people excavated rich copper ore, refining it in ‘Peun Baolo’ and ‘Thong Na-Gneuak’ (Dragon Field). These dates have been confirmed scientifically from bamboo mats found in well-preserved mineshafts in compacted wet clay below the surface (10 to 40 meters deep).

Other artefacts include mining equipment, wooden ladders, pulleys, mallets, bamboo baskets, rope made from lianas, a ‘Dong Son’ bronze era drum on display at the National Museum in Vientiane, crucibles, copper ingots, jewellery, and ceremonial items highlighting Laos’ pivotal place in regional history.

In 2019 LXML handed over 7,800 artefacts made from copper, bronze, chalcedony (gems), ceramics, and wood, found near Sepon mine to the Lao Government.

Mining has always been an essential part of civilisation and society throughout history. We look forward to revealing more exciting discoveries about Lao culture and history in time.

LXML received a Lao Business Award in 2019 for social and economic contributions to sustainable development in the Lao PDR. The company also received an ASEAN Business Award for ‘Combating COVID-19.’ LXML is widely recognised as an outstanding business in the region supporting COVID-19 prevention.

16 December 2020, Mr Phoudong Soukhavong, Acting Director General of State Assets Management Department, Ministry of Finance received the 3^rd Quarter 2020 royalty copper and gold production of US$3,037,744.05 handed by Mr Robin Hamilton-Coates, Senior Advisor – Stakeholder Relations, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) of the Sepon Mine.

Since production commenced in 2003, LXML Sepon has contributed over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao Government including over US$363 million in royalties.

Chifeng Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon has received an ASEAN Business Award for ‘Combating COVID-19.’  The award announcement was made on 18 November 2020 during a ceremony at the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ABIS) 2020 in Hanoi, Vietnam

The award acknowledges outstanding businesses in the region supporting COVID-19 prevention. LXML was shortlisted from hundreds of businesses and entrepreneurs in the region.

This prestigious award is the result of the commitment and exceptional hard work of the Lao Government and LXML employees in containing COVID-19 and preventing spread of the virus” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager. “At LXML we treated the pandemic like a crisis before it actually became one. Through proactive and early implementation of preventive controls and measures, we were able to keep over 3,500 employees and 40,000 community members safe and free of COVID-19. We must continue to remain vigilant until the pandemic is over.”

LXML introduced robust initiatives in January, well before COVID-19 reached Lao PDR.  These included procedural controls, communication and awareness, physical barriers, and a focus on cultural and behavioural changes to align with the constantly shifting ‘new normal.’ As a result of these efforts and initiatives, LXML was privileged to be one of only five companies in Lao PDR permitted to continue operations during the national lockdown. In partnership with the Lao Government, LXML provided support amounting to US$170,000 for COVID-19 prevention.

 LXML remains committed to supporting the Government’s effort in combating COVID-19, and in keeping employees and community safe from COVID-19

On 23 June 2020, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine celebrated its first gold , marking the beginning of a new ‘gold era’ for the operation. The resumption of gold production will extend the life of Sepon mine for at least another ten years and will continue to generate employment, incomes, and improved livelihoods for the host communities. LXML will continue to contribute to the socio-economic development of Lao PDR through projected production of around 250,000 ounces in gold doré annually, and increased investment in exploration and other growth projects.

The Gold Pour Ceremony was witnessed by Vice Governor of Savannakhet Province Mr Thonekeo Phoutthakayalath, Governor of Vilabouly District Mr Khamphoui Sibounheuang, LXML President Mr Fu Xuesheng, LXML General Manager Mr Paul Harris, and representatives from the company and concerned provincial and district offices.

“Today is another significant milestone in LXML Sepon’s transition from a Copper-focussed business to a Gold-focussed business.  The successful pouring of our first gold doré symbolises a positive gold future for LXML Sepon, its employees, host community and stakeholders” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager. “Despite some of the challenges we faced, including the COVID-19 pandemic in Laos, we have been able to commence gold production well ahead of schedule thanks to the hard work of our employees, and the continuous support of the Lao Government.”

Since operation commenced in 2002, Sepon mine has produced over 1.2 million ounce of gold and 1 million tonnes of copper cathode; contributing over US$1.5 billion in direct revenue to the Lao PDR in taxes, royalties, and dividends.  Indirect benefits through employment, training, community development, and payments to local contract partners and suppliers have also had a significant positive impact on social and economic development. The mine created jobs for over 5,000 employees at its peak in 2003, and invested millions of dollars in employee development and training.  More than 14,000 people in Vilabouly have benefitted from our community development program totalling US$13 million worth of projects and investment, and community income through local business groups has accumulated to US$32 million.

LXML Sepon suspended Gold Operations in December 2013, due to declining gold reserves and a low gold price.

The resumption of gold operations will ensure that these benefits continue to flow, and continue to establish a strong socio-economic foundation throughout the life of the mine, and for life beyond mine closure.

Last week, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon Mine (LXML) handed twelve hectares expanded rice paddies field to six families from Vangnang village near Sepon Mine, Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province where LXML operates its copper and gold operation. These expanded rice paddies will provide the opportunity for the poorest families to improve their yields, rice quality and productivity and eventually for commercial purpose in the future.

“As outlined in the 8^th National Socio-Economic Development Plan, Lao PDR prioritized green growth in its long-term agriculture  and forestry development strategy and it focuses on agricultural quality, food security and safe products” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director. “Our support represents an important step in that effort, that will provide a permanent land for villagers to plant rice for self-sustaining based and commercial purposes and consequently reduce illegal logging and deforestation, enhance the sustainable livelihood and wellbeing of our host community.”

Rice paddies that can be cultivated in the rainy season covers an area of 4,870 hectares of land producing 17,045 tonnes of rice per year. While the Vilabouly Agriculture and Forestry Office has provided technical support and improved rice seeds, rice productivity is not enough for commercial purpose due to the limited land area available for this purpose.

The expanded rice paddies handed to the families represents corresponds to the actual needs of the community and the current socio-economic situation. These expanded rice paddies are funded through LXML’s Community Development Trust Fund, which has delivered benefits to the local communities around Sepon Mine for over fifteen years. Since 2003, the annual fund has increased significantly over the years from US$96,000 to US$750,000 per year, and this contribution will continue until the Sepon mining operation is closed for at least another ten years.

To date, US$9.5 million has been invested in the Community Development Trust Fund focused on improving the basic infrastructure, community health, education for next generation, and food security (cash crop). The Trust Fund assists the government in supporting, and developing the local communities surrounding the Sepon mine, in order to improve the living conditions and create better livelihoods for LXML’s host community..

Moving forwards, LXML through its Community Development Trust Fund will support Vilabouly District’s effort in expanding more land to make rice, cash crops, and produce farming more productive and profitable.

“Families receiving the land today should take the ownership in caring and making use of their lands for optimal benefits” said Mr Khamphouy Sibounheuang, Vilabouly Governor.

The handover ceremony was chaired by Vilabouly Governor Mr Khamphouy Sibounheuang, Deputy Head of Vilabouly Agriculture and Forestry Office Mr Bounxay Xayalin, LXML Managing Director Mr Saman Aneka with the presence of district and village representatives, land owners and surrounding villagers.

This month, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML) Sepon Mine handed over more essential supplies to prevent COVID-19 to Vilabouly District and Savannakhet Province – where the Sepon Mine is located. This is the second batch of medical equipment and supplies that is being handed to Vilabouly District valued at 101,500,000 kip and Savannakhet Province valued at US$20,000 (about 180,000,000 kip) bringing this to 281,500,000 kip (about US$31,000) to support LXML’s key stakeholder and host community in the fight against the global pandemic COVID-19.

Earlier in April, LXML fast-tracked its support to Vilabouly district and Savannakhet Province, by providing a initial donation of medical equipment and supplies with a total value of 142,000,000 kip.  The equipment handed comprised masks temperature scanners, hand gels, electric sprayers, and disinfectant liquids.

“As the country opens up, the frontline health workers and people of Vilabouly district and Savannkahet province would need to be well equipped and ready to handle and respond to risks related to the COVID-19 infection” said Mr Saman Aneka, Managing Director of LXML. “We hope our provision of essential medical supplies would contribute to these efforts.”

Back in February 2020 – two months after the COVID-19 quickly spread across China and over twenty countries across the globe, LXML handed over a financial contribution of US$15,000 to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. That contribution was pooled into the fund jointly raised by the Laos-China Friendship Association and Vientiane Administration Office to assist victims of the COVID-19 in China.

To date, LXML have supported over US$65,000 to Vilabouly, Savannakhet, and Lao PDR. As the COVID-19 unfolds, LXML is working with the Lao National Centre for Laboratory and Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health to find arenas where it can best support and cooperate in the fight against COVID-19 in the country.

LXML is committed to protecting our employees and community safe and from the risk of being infected with COVID-19.

Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Co., Ltd (Chifeng) is a Shanghai – listed metals producer headquartered in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. Chifeng is a leading gold producer in China, and is specialised in gold acquisition and integrated resource recovery and utilization. From 30 November 2018, Chifeng assumed ownership of Lane Xang Minerals Limited’s (LXML) Sepon mine after MMG completed the sale of its 90% interest in LXML. Chifeng now owns 90% and the Lao Government owns 10% share in LXML.

Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon (LXML) recently handed artefacts exhibition stands valued over US$25,000 to the Lao National Museum, Savannakhet Museum, and Vilabouly Cultural Hall in a bid to preserve and further promote ancient artefacts discovered at Sepon Mine, Vilabouly district, Savannakhet province. This is an outcome from LXML’s decade-long support to the Lao Government in archaeological research and cultural heritage preservation.

In September of last year, LXML handed over more than 7,800 artefacts to the Lao Government. These artefacts – made up from copper, bronze, chalcedony (regular gems), ceramic, wood among others – have been discovered on site at Sepon mine. These ancient artefacts are valuable additions to prehistoric Lao cultural heritage.

“LXML is proud to partake in the support and preservation of national heritage and attract tourism into Laos” said Mr Saman Aneka, LXML Managing Director and Stakeholder and Communications Manager. “We are committed to modelling mining excellence by respecting local cultures.”

Since 2008, LXML has invested over US$1.3 million in supporting 3,000 years of Lao history and heritage through our archaeological research with the Department of Heritage (DoH) of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, the National University of Laos, and James Cook University of Australia. The program sponsors fieldwork that unites a unique community at local, national and international levels. Volunteers from Vientiane, local villagers, Australian and Lao students, archaeologists and Lao officials from the DoH stationed at Sepon mine cooperate closely to conduct research.

“The cooperation between the Department of Heritage and LXML is a one-of-a kind partnership” said Mr Thongbay Photisane, Director General of Department of Heritage. “It is a full on support by the company that significantly contributes to the Lao people as well as our tourists. We can compare this support to ‘gold’ as it has economic and reputational value, of which tourists who see our displays can go back home and tell their friends to come visit its points of origin.”

Remarkable discoveries of artefacts and heritage sites have been made at the Sepon mine in the Vilabouly District, Savannakhet Province. In March 2018, the team of archaeologist discovered evidence of more than 200 antic mine shafts dating back over 3,000 years ago. This means Vilabouly district is considered one of the first mining and metallurgy areas in Southeast Asia.  We believe ancient mining around Sepon mine continued to about 1,300 years ago (700 AD) where people have excavated the rich copper ore then refined it in the so-called Peun Baolo and Thong Na-Gneuak (Dragon Field) locations and exchanged minerals and metals since then.  These dates have been confirmed from the examination of bamboo matting found in the mentioned well-preserved ancient mine-shaft support structures laid in the compacted wet clay just below the surface (10 to 40 meters deep).

Other artefacts unearthed include mining equipment such as wooden ladders, pulleys, mallets, painted bamboo baskets, and rope made from lianas; a large ‘Dong Son’ bronze era drum currently on display at the National Museum in Vientiane; and crucibles, copper ingots, jewellery, ceremonial items and other artefacts highlighting Laos’ pivotal place in regional history.

Mining has been essential in the development of civilisation and society throughout history. Excavations will continue and we look forward to reveal more exciting discoveries about Lao culture and history.

Last week, Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon Mine (LXML) handed fourteen scholarships to the best graduating students of secondary schools and educational assistance packages to twenty students from fourteen villages near Sepon Mine, Vilabouly District of Savannakhet Province where LXML operates its copper and gold operation. This US$12,600 financial injection will give the students the opportunity to further gain better education in institutes and universities, and eventually receive optimal outcomes in their living, well-being and livelihood in the years to come.

“I believe that by providing scholarship funds for further education and promoting and rewarding excellent students, we will develop the best capacity for the next generations to come, and will provide long-term sustainable outcomes for the community” said Paul Harris, LXML General Manager.

The handover ceremony was chaired by Vilabouly District Governor Mr Khamphouy Sibounheuang, LXML President Mr Fu Xuesheng, LXML Managing Director Mr Saman Aneka, LXML General Manager Mr Paul Harris, Deputy Head of Vilabouly Education and Sports Office Mr Viengxay Saysavath with the presence of teachers, students, and their parents.

One of the scholarship recipients Mr Sonephet Anom, 22 years from Namkheun Village of Vilabouly District undertaking a diploma in finance and accounting at the Champasack University expressed his appreciation: “I am very happy for receiving this scholarship as it will reduce the burdens on my parents and siblings.”

These scholarship and educational assistance package support is funded through LXML’s Community Development Trust Fund, which has delivered benefits to the local communities and future generations around Sepon mine for over fifteen years. Since 2003, the annual fund has increased significantly over the years from US$96,000 to US$750,000 per year, and this contribution will continue until the Sepon mining operation is closed for at least another ten years.

To date, US$9.5 million has been invested in the Community Development Trust Fund focused on improving the basic infrastructure requirement for the communities and districts in terms of health, education and agriculture (cash crop), and livelihood. The Trust Fund assists the government in supporting and developing the local communities surrounding the Sepon mine, in order to improve the living conditions and create better livelihoods for the people.

Moving forwards, scholarship programs will further be provided to the most disadvantaged students from the poorest families of villages around Sepon mine and those who have not failed any subjects will receive scholarships to further vocational studies and have work to do after graduation.

Prior to 2019, LXML provided scholarships to six students, of which three have already graduated.

“These students that study hard will get an opportunity for further education at an institute or university, or may even get a chance to study overseas” concluded LXML General Manager Paul Harris.  “They will develop the capacity to run businesses, or get high paying jobs at places like Sepon. They will be able to achieve big goals and dreams for themselves and their communities.”
