Suresh Kalathil: " ​Rosebel has tremendous opportunities and challenges. If you have the zeal to perform and excel, you can count on our support to help you make a difference. ​During my work, I meet many people who are curious to know more about IAMGOLD, Rosebel Gold Mines and Suriname. Often, we get around to talking about why I chose a career in mining. Here are some reflections about a career spent in mining and how it brought me to IAMGOLD."

Rosebel Gold Mines conducted a study in seven villages in the Brokopondo district to further stimulate sustainable development. The findings of the study are published in a book titled “The Promising Future of Brokopondo”. On Friday, the first copy of this book was handed to District Commissioner Kenya Pansa by the Sustainability Manager of Rosebel, Jerry Finisie.

A healthy and well-informed work force means a better performing and more sustainable company. Reason for Rosebel’s medical department to use every opportunity to educate employees on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
