The MAMSA objective is to maximize availability, production and revenue at an optimal cost level.  Key to achieving this is the implementation of safety systems to ensure zero Lost Time Incidents and to operate in a respectful manner that accounts for the social and environmental impact created by the business.

MAMSA ensures that all projects are managed in compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, permits and project agreements.

Working with communities to transition to economic independence through the implementation of Socio-economic and Economic Development projects remains one of the strengths of the MAMSA team.
