Environment

The Company, through all its employees and representatives, is committed to a role of environmental stewardship that we create and influence through our operations, developments and activities. In order to fulfill this commitment, we must fully understand and appreciate the interaction between our activities and the environment. That understanding comes from detailed reports and monitoring by our partners and employees. Equally important is direct, open and timely consultation with all stakeholders, including local and national governments, members of the surrounding communities, independent consultants and outside agencies.

We are committed to allocating all the resources necessary to minimize the environmental impact of our activities and to initiate solutions for sustainable development. Conservation and recycling of resources are central to our strategy for sustainable development. The Company is one of the sponsors of the "Environmental Excellence in Exploration" initiative, which promotes "best practices" in exploration (www.e3mining.com). 

Environmental regulatory compliance is an essential objective. In many instances we and our partners choose to impose standards and guidelines which greatly exceed local requirements. We recognize that any breach of those standards is not simply an environmental issue but impacts on our reputation and credibility with stakeholders. In the final analysis, we recognize that any mining project must develop and preserve a balanced and harmonious co-existence with the environment in order to realize benefits to our shareholders and the other stakeholders.
