The Trust was set up by Osino Gold Exploration and Mining (Pty) Ltd in 2021 as the socio-economic and environmental development vehicle for companies benefiting from the Twin Hills Gold Project near Karibib, in the Erongo Region. In September 2024, Shanjin International Gold Co., Ltd acquired Osino, including the Twin Hills Gold Project, and continues to expand the Trust’s activities.
“Sustainable development is essential for our company and Namibia, and our commitment goes beyond just the social and economic benefits of our direct exploration and mining activities. Through the Twin Hills Trust, we contribute to the long-term development and well-being of Namibia and its people across several areas.”
Tianhang Zhang, CEO, Osino Gold Exploration and Mining (Pty) Ltd
A regional socio-economic baseline study and a review of the Namibian government’s development priorities were used to identify the following areas for funding:
The Trust is supported by Shanjin International Gold Co., Ltd, Osino Gold Exploration and Mining (Pty) Ltd, and many Twin Hills Gold Project vendors. Former Osino shareholders, investment bankers, directors and managers have also made significant donations to the Trust.
“When we set up the Trust, our vision was for it to become the collective social investment vehicle, not only for Osino but for all our partners benefiting from the Twin Hills Gold Project. We are thus excited at the growing number of service providers, suppliers and investors that support the Trust’s work.”
Heye Daun, Osino Founder and former CEO
