'PYX CARES' Initiative Supports Local School in Kalimantan

PYX Resources Limited (NSX: PYX | LSE: PYX), a leading international premium zircon producer, is pleased to announce that it has made a donation of key school supplies to SDN Tumbang Lampahung, a local elementary school in Kalimantan, as part of its  'PYX Cares' initiative.

The initiative, which used the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the United Nation's Development Programme as inspiration, is the Company's blueprint for making a positive impact at the locations where it operates and is critical to achieving sustainable growth.  At PYX, it is understood that long-term goals can only be achieved if strong, mutually beneficial relationships are forged with local people, and if operations are carried out responsibly.

SDN Tumbang Lampahung elementary school has 110 students which range from seven to 13 years of age, operates six classes in a total of three classrooms, due to limited funds and access to necessities, the school runs each class alternately between students.

Alongside PYX Resources' donation of essentials, the Company is also strategizing to help build more facilities in the school, to allow each class to have a designated classroom.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Oliver Hasler, said:

"At PYX Resources, we believe no child should be prevented from accessing education and achieving their dreams.  It brings the PYX team immense joy to be able to contribute to communities, especially when it's a local school not far from our mining operation. We hope that with the help of our donation, those children will be able to experience the benefits of education, without the worry of accessing basic classroom necessities. PYX is a small company, but I feel we are punching above our weight in terms of our values and policies. We remain committed to working alongside our community and stakeholders for the benefit of all and we look forward to exploring other ways in which we can support SDN Tumbang Lampahung school in the future."
