Despite the ongoing challenges posed by the rainy season, Leone Rock Metal Group (LRMG) has launched a critical infrastructure initiative to rehabilitate the Bumbuna–Mabonto highway in Tonkolili District. The company’s commitment to community development and corporate social responsibility has once again taken center stage as heavy rains threaten access, mobility, and livelihoods in the region.

As part of its broader infrastructure support strategy, LRMG has deployed heavy machinery and dedicated teams working around the clock to ensure that vital roadways remain open and navigable for residents and businesses alike. The Bumbuna–Mabonto route, which had deteriorated significantly due to seasonal downpours, is now undergoing a transformation that promises long-term improvements in safety, accessibility, and economic activity.

“This initiative is more than a construction project it’s about reconnecting communities and ensuring continuity of access to essential services, education, and markets,” said the Community Director, LRMG. “We understand the critical role roads play in economic development, and we’re proud to support Tonkolili in this time of need.”

The effort highlights LRMG’s continued dedication to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), reflecting a deeper ethos of community partnership beyond mining operations. By investing in infrastructure, the company is facilitating trade, enhancing mobility, and contributing to the region’s resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

This latest development echoes the broader mission of LRMG to integrate responsible mining with sustainable community development. From education and health support to road infrastructure, the company continues to play a key role in uplifting the lives of those within its operational footprint.

Residents have already expressed appreciation for the improvements, noting that safer roads have allowed them to access markets, schools, and healthcare services more reliably, even during heavy rainfall.
