LXML supports sustainable livelihoods with 28 cattle for disadvantaged families in Vilabouly district

Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) handed over 28 cattle to five disadvantaged households in Vilabouly district of Savannakhet province on July 25, reinforcing its continued commitment to livelihood development, poverty reduction, and sustainable income generation in communities surrounding the Sepon Gold-Copper Mine.
The hand-over ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Vilabouly District Administrative Committee, Mr Phouvanath Bounsiphom, the Head of the District Agriculture and Environment Office, Mr Vongphachan Souvannalath, and the Head of the District Administrative Office, Mr Bouaphan Vanvilay.
Representing LXML was the Senior Superintendent for Community Relations and Local Development, Mr Khamsy Chankham, together with village authorities and community members.

The cattle, valued at 162,500,000 kip (approximately US$7,300), were provided to five disadvantaged households located near the Sepon operation, including three families in Nonesomphou village and two families in Nathaehnhei village.
The initiative aims to promote cattle raising as a supplementary livelihood, alongside traditional rice farming, helping families generate additional income, strengthen household food security, and build a more stable economic foundation.
By supporting livestock development, the project provides practical assistance that can create long-term benefits as the cattle reproduce and household herds expand over time.
During the ceremony, Mr Phouvanath commended LXML’s support and encouraged the company to consider expanding the programme to additional families and villages in the future.
He requested the District Agriculture and Environment Office to work closely with the recipient families by providing technical guidance, livestock health inspections, and animal husbandry support to ensure the cattle are well managed and deliver sustainable benefits.
The hand-over reflects strong cooperation between LXML, local authorities and communities in addressing practical livelihood needs. It also demonstrates LXML’s long-term commitment to support resilient households, improve quality of life, and contribute to sustainable socio-economic development in Vilabouly district.
