We approach sustainability as a set of practical responsibilities and activities guided by clear standards. Our focus is on managing environmental impacts, maintaining safe working conditions, and ensuring that decisions are made transparently and in line with regulatory and corporate requirements and aligned with international good practice. By ensuring meaningful and accurate data, engaging with stakeholders and applying clear governance standards, we work to address risks and opportunities, meet our obligations and support long-term stability for the areas in which we operate.
We apply good international industry practices and standards to manage environmental impacts and use natural resources responsibly. Our focus is on practical measures that reflect the environmental responsibilities of our operations. Key actions include:
Air emissions are regularly monitored in accordance with environmental permits. This includes covered conveyor belts, controlled traffic routes and dust-suppression measures help reduce airborne particles generated during ore handling and transport.
We treat water as a valuable resource. Water used in the flotation process is continuously recycled to reduce total consumption and safeguard local water resources. Surface and groundwater quality is monitored to ensure compliance with permitted limits.
Mining waste and tailings are managed under strict regulatory frameworks and internal procedures. The tailings facility is subject to continuous operational monitoring, stability controls and periodic geotechnical inspections to ensure safety and environmental protection.
The careful management of land – from active operations through to rehabilitation and post-closure use – is a core sustainability responsibility for us. Soil quality around operational areas is periodically assessed to identify potential changes related to mining activities and to guide rehabilitation planning.
Managing the noise and vibration generated by mining activity is an important part of being a responsible neighbour. Noise levels and blasting vibrations are monitored to ensure operations remain within approved thresholds and to limit disturbance to nearby communities.
Working alongside our neighbours on environmental issues is an important part of how we operate as a local employer and partner. We engage in environmental activities carried out jointly with community members, supporting the upkeep of shared public areas and promoting collective care for the local environment.
The communities around our operations are partners in our long-term future, and supporting their stability and development is a responsibility we take as seriously as our operational and environmental ones. Our social activities are designed in cooperation with local institutions and community representatives, focusing on areas where support can contribute to long-term stability, inclusion and well-being. These initiatives are based on locally identified priorities and are carried out through internal procedures that ensure fairness, transparency and consistent decision-making.
Health & Community Well-Being: The well-being of the communities around our operations is closely tied to our own, and supporting access to healthcare and basic services is a responsibility we share with local institutions. Wesupport initiatives that promote public health, access to basic services and community preparedness. This includes collaboration with local health institutions and participation in programs that contribute to healthier living environments.
A skilled local workforce starts with access to good education, which is why we support schools and students in the communities where we operate. We provide focused assistance for students from socially vulnerable households, provision of learning materials and involvement in programs that encourage skill development, STEM interest and equal opportunities for young people.
We cooperate with local organisations to support inclusion of vulnerable groups, ensuring that our community initiatives benefit households and individuals that are most in need.
We support for sports clubs, school sports programs and local events that encourage active, healthy lifestyles and community participation among children and young adults.
We donate construction materials, equipment and provide technical support for improving local roads, community facilities and essential public infrastructure.
We support community events and local traditions that strengthen social ties and bring residents together. These activities are carried out in cooperation with local institutions and community organisations to ensure relevance and inclusion.
Good governance is what makes our day-to-day operating decisions consistent, lawful and defensible. We maintain a structured governance framework supported by clear policies, defined responsibilities and established procedures.
