Environment

The Company believes that proactive corporate social responsibility constitutes the foundation for both successful exploration and sustainable development. As such, we will strive to ensure strong environmental management at every exploration stage, prospect, and mine site. In addition, proactive health and safety procedures, transparent interaction with local communities, and implementation of prudent expenditure and business performance will remain at the top of our priority list.

The Company will also implement appropriate procedures for different stages of its airborne surveys, ground exploration, prospecting and evaluation, and development work.

Environmental & Social Management at the Development Stage
The Company recognizes the benefits of proactively engaging and working with local communities for the benefit of all stakeholders. As such, the Company will communicate and consult with local communities and stakeholders with a view to fostering mutual understanding and shared benefits through the promotion and maintenance of open and constructive dialogue and working relationships.

In order to maximize the benefits arising out of any mining development, the Company will ensure that all construction and mining operations carried out by it or by subsidiaries and joint ventures to which the Company is party adhere to the guidelines.
