Environmental Stewardship
Rugby is committed to conducting “ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE EXPLORATION” and has always adhered to Environment Protection and exploration industry best practices. With the collaboration of our Colombian environmental scientists and specialists we have developed the “COBRASCO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION CODE”.
The Company is a member of Innovation Hub of Cobre de Colombia, which brings together Colombian copper mining companies and national and international allies, who seek through innovation and collaboration, to articulate good practices, contribute to the energy transition and responsible, inclusive, participatory and knowledge-intensive industrialization.

Rugby also employs local workers to assist in rehabilitation and reforestation programs which not only benefits the project area, but it provides additional horticultural skills to the local community.
Prior to conducting exploration activities, Rugby engages specialist environmental consultants to conduct investigations at our projects to collect primary environmental information and base-line studies.
Rugby is committed to the best exploration practices and acts within the framework of mining and environmental laws, applying policies always aimed at preserving the environment and generating environmental projects that provide ecosystems with a net positive impact.
