JOURNALISTIC WRITING COMPETITION 2025
Congratulations to the winners of the Agincourt Resources 2025 Journalistic Competition!
With the theme “ESG in Action: Sustainable Mining Towards Community and Environmental Harmony,” this year’s entries reflect not only strong journalistic work, but also meaningful stories that raise public awareness of responsible mining practices.
The collaboration between journalists and the sustainable mining industry once again demonstrates the power of storytelling in connecting communities, the environment, and the mining sector. These inspiring works highlight how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are being implemented in real, tangible ways to create harmony and long-term sustainability in the areas surrounding our operations.
Let us continue amplifying positive narratives about mining practices that are transparent, inclusive, and future-oriented. The contributions of journalists this year form a valuable foundation for encouraging real action and strengthening collective awareness of the importance of sustainable mining for both society and the environment.
Thank you for your dedication and contribution. See you in the next Journalistic Competition!
