‘We provide jobs where there are limited opportunities for people and have mined safely throughout the world, helping communities and governments,’ explained Neil Reeder, Vice President of Government Relations for B2Gold.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

During the keynote address, Mr. Reeder outlined extensive community development, educational and environmental initiatives – including conservation and green mining – in Africa and worldwide.<\/p>\n

B2Gold spent over $3 million to help governments, including Namibia and Mali, battle COVID-19 and remitted hundreds of millions of dollars in direct government revenues and remuneration to its many employees.<\/p>\n

During the 3-day conference, to which B2Gold is a key platinum sponsor, Prime Minister Trudeau underscored a wide variety of opportunities for collaboration between Canada and African markets.<\/p>\n

‘B2Gold is a leader globally and sets the standard for international best practice, while pioneering Canadian investment and partnership in Africa,’ explained Garreth Bloor, President of The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business.<\/p>\n

‘The very reason we are here today is because companies like B2Gold have backed this Chamber and other organizations, allowing us to cross-subsidize the participation of thousands in our programming, consistent with their great work around the world’ he added.<\/p>\n

B2Gold’s combination of investor returns and community empowerment, grounded in sustainability, saw the most recent Kitco CEO of the Year accolade awarded to its President and CEO, Clive Johnson.<\/p>\n
