PYX CARES Update

 

Committed to Supporting Local Schools in Kalimantan

 

PYX Resources (NSX: PYX | LSE: PYX), the world's third largest publicly listed
zircon producer by zircon resources(1), is pleased to provide an update on its
Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") initiative, PYX CARES, which in July,
held a Back-to-School event at the SD Tumbang Lampahung School in Jl Ngantun,
Desa, to mark the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic year.

 

PYX CARES aims to empower local communities, protect the environment, promote
diversity, and make sure employees and the people of Central Kalimantan in
Indonesia fully participate in PYX's long-term success.

 

Education, health, and wellbeing of young people in the communities near PYX's
projects are key focuses of the PYX CARES initiative. In line with this
commitment, and for the third consecutive year SD Tumbang Lampahung School,
which serves over 100 students aged 6-12 was selected as the beneficiary of
the initiative. Hosted by Headmaster Ibu Friskilae and attended by several
senior PYX team members, the event saw the distribution of essential supplies
to the school and its students. These supplies included school bags,
stationery, coloring equipment, shoes, sandals, and packages containing
healthy snacks, milk, and juice.

 

Following the event, Mining Manager Agusta Kurniawan commented: "PYX takes
great pride in nurturing the academic journey of young people in the areas
surrounding our operations and I am pleased that this scheme continues to
develop. We believe that supporting the education of young learners is vital
for the growth and development of our community."

 

PYX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Oliver B. Hassler added: "I am
immensely proud to see the PYX CARES Back-to-School programme enter its third
year. Supporting children through these crucial developmental years has always
been a personal passion of mine. I remain deeply committed to the PYX CARES
initiatives and eagerly anticipate our next project to support the communities
near our operations."
