The minerals that sit in Sri Lanka can be used for the future growth of the country. I think any sort of resource development helps a country to grow, create more jobs and an economy that will thrive.

Environment
At the heart of the Taprobane Minerals Project is a proven, environmentally responsible extraction process grounded in science and transparency.
We use only physical methods — no blasting, chemicals, or underground mining. Each extraction cell is refilled and rehabilitated immediately with native topsoil and plants. Sensitive ecosystems such as mangroves, wildlife reserves, and cultural sites will be excluded and remain protected.
The landscape is rehabilitated as the project progresses and we don’t wait until the end of mining.
Our Environmental Impact Assessment was approved by the Coastal Conservation and Resource Management Department in 2021 following consultation with all relevant agencies and public consultation.
Construction of our first Coastal Regeneration Centre (CRC) in Umiri is underway to enhance coastal health through habitat restoration, dune stabilisation, and biodiversity promotion.
