Indigenous Relations Policy...

DMS is committed to working with indigenous communities.

To achieve this we will:

• establish and maintain positive communication;
• consult with the people whose country may be affected by Company activities;
• engage with relevant indigenous groups on sustainable projects;
• carry out surveys on areas proposed for disturbance to assess cultural heritage;
• develop strategies to minimise or avoid impact on significant indigenous sites and cultural places; and
• develop and implement indigenous awareness programs for staff that are appropriate for local situations.
• comply with the Aboriginal Heritage Act of 2006.
