New World Resources Plc publishes Sustainability Report 2012

New World Resources Plc ('NWR' or 'the Company') has published its Sustainability Report 2012 (the 'Report'), which comprehensively describes the economic, environmental and social impacts and benefits of NWR's activities in 2012.

Gareth Penny, Executive Chairman of NWR, said: "Sustainability lies at the heart of our operations. Managing our current reserve base and maintaining our social license to operate are dependent upon the broad support of our local communities. Achieving such community support involves minimising our impact upon the physical environment, looking after the welfare of our employees and cultivating productive relationships with our wider stakeholders."

The Report is intended for the Company's stakeholders and is a strategic document that expands upon NWR's Annual Report and Accounts 2012. It was compiled in accordance with the Mining and Metals Supplement of Global Reporting Initiative reporting guidelines ('GRI') at Application Level A.
