This a legal requirement and Base Titanium does not enter into someone’s property without consent,'' the statement said. The firm added that community engagements in areas where Base Titanium is yet to drill have been ongoing. Base Titanium Community Relations Manager, Mr Pius Kassim said the company was working on the ground with six local committees chosen by the communities which were overseeing the exploration exercise. The exploration programme has also come with benefits of its own with the local community having gained employment in the drill sites. Following this, Base Titanium plans to re-engage with local residents to communicate the findings.
