PYX
Resources (NSX: PYX | LSE:
PYX), the world's third largest
publicly listed zircon producer by zircon
resources1, is
pleased to provide an update on its Corporate Social
Responsibility ("CSR") initiative, PYX CARES, which in July, held a
Back-to-School event at the SD Tumbang Lampahung School in Jl
Ngantun, Desa, to mark the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic
year.
PYX CARES aims to empower local
communities, protect the environment, promote diversity, and make
sure employees and the people of Central Kalimantan in Indonesia
fully participate in PYX's long-term success.
Education, health, and wellbeing of
young people in the communities near PYX's projects are key focuses
of the PYX CARES initiative. In line with this commitment, and for
the third consecutive year SD Tumbang Lampahung School, which
serves over 100 students aged 6-12 was selected as the beneficiary
of the initiative. Hosted by Headmaster Ibu Friskilae and attended
by several senior PYX team members, the event saw the distribution
of essential supplies to the school and its students. These
supplies included school bags, stationery, coloring equipment,
shoes, sandals, and packages containing healthy snacks, milk, and
juice.
Following the event, Mining Manager Agusta Kurniawan
commented: "PYX takes great pride in nurturing the
academic journey of young people in the areas surrounding our
operations and I am pleased that this scheme continues to develop.
We believe that supporting the education of young learners is vital
for the growth and development of our community."
PYX
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Oliver B. Hassler
added: "I am immensely proud to see the PYX CARES Back-to-School
programme enter its third year. Supporting children through these
crucial developmental years has always been a personal passion of
mine. I remain deeply committed to the PYX CARES initiatives and
eagerly anticipate our next project to support the communities near
our operations."
