Stories from the Field
Revitalizing the Rutongo Concession
When Maness Minerals acquired the Rutongo tin concession in 2018, production had stalled at 200 tonnes per year. Through mechanization and community partnerships, we increased output to 1,400 tonnes annually while creating 300 new jobs for local residents.
Building Schools, Building Futures
Our community investment program has funded the construction of six primary schools and two vocational training centers near our mine sites, providing education access to over 3,000 children and young adults across rural Rwanda.
Pioneering Water Recycling in Mining
At our Kigali processing plant, we implemented a closed-loop water recycling system that recovers 92% of process water — reducing freshwater consumption by 4 million litres annually and setting a new standard for sustainable mining in East Africa.
