There are few industries that face as much negative as the mining industry. Even in the most mining friendly locations, communities are quick to draw defensive lines, guarding against a range of reputation-based threats, whether real or perceived. Daulton Capital Corp., a Nevada based finance company specializing in natural resource investments, has structured itself to directly counteract this perception, laying a foundation of trust and transparency with local communities.
The company goes so far as to present this as the primary focus in its formal statement of corporate values:
“Daulton Capital Corp remains committed to align itself with others in projects where the ideals of leadership, social responsible resource development, environmental responsibility, safety and health are mutually recognized. Daulton Capital Corp conducts its exploration and project development activities with a commitment to be socially responsible to the local community addressing all concerns within those communities that the company has a presence.”
Daulton goes still further, giving a point-by-point guide for integrating project and public concerns:
• Act responsibly with integrity, trust and respect
• Provide leadership in safety, health, social responsibility and the environment
• Insist on teamwork and transparent communication through all levels
• Institute programs to educate and employ local workforces
• Continually develop our people and reward them for creativity, excellence and commitment
• Promote positive change by encouraging “best practices”
• Being socially and environmentally conscious within the communities.
• Promoting a safe-working environment for employees and the local community
• Operating within strict standards of ethics and honesty
• Contributing to the local community
To Daulton, this is viewed as not only a socially responsible way to conduct business, but as key to its long term role as a project generator. Daulton has the objective of putting together option and joint venture projects, with major and junior natural resource companies, from exploration through to production. Without local support, such agreements, the lifeblood of the company, simply have less chance of working.
