Our Policies:
Our governance framework is anchored in the Health, Safety and Security Policy and the Global Health and Wellbeing Policy . In alignment with ISO 45001 and the World Gold Council's (WGC) Responsible Gold Mining Principles , we have established a policy framework covering all global operations. We strictly enforce policies such as the Contractor Management Standard and the Production Safety Responsibility System and Safety Management Procedures , extending safety requirements from our internal operations throughout the entire industry chain. This framework ensures we can systematically address operational challenges across diverse jurisdictions, transforming our commitment to protecting lives into enforceable management discipline.
Our Path Forward:
Looking ahead, we will continue to advance our safety management with the core goals of "zero fatalities and zero occupational diseases".
- Achieving full ISO 45001 certification coverage for all global operating sites as early as possible, in accordance with overall planning and operational realities, to ensure all mine sites align with premier international governance standards.
- Further expanding the application of digital tools to predict high-risk behaviors using big data, thereby reducing accident risks at source.
- Deeply integrating mental health support and precise fatigue management systems into daily operations, and strengthening contractors' integration into our safety culture to ensure every individual working onsite receives the same level of physical and mental health protection.

We consider employee development the cornerstone of our stable global operations. By promoting management localization and multi-channel advancement mechanisms, we effectively mitigate transnational operational risks, enhance cross-cultural management resilience, and ensure production safety and operational efficiency. We prioritize hiring local residents and offering competitive compensation and benefits, thereby helping to improve the overall economic wellbeing of mining communities. We conduct systematic skills training to equip employees with upward mobility, transforming human
resources into long-term social capital for local development and achieving a symbiotic value creation between the enterprise and its host locations.
- Our people management approach is built on the Human Resource Management Policy , which comprehensively covers core areas such as talent recruitment, organizational and employment management, performance appraisals, employee training, and compensation and benefits. We reference the core standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO) to ensure all our global operations meet high standards for fair employment. Under this framework, we implement multi-channel career paths and promote localized management complemented by performance incentive mechanisms, ensuring the system effectively supports every employee in their continuous professional advancement and shared growth with the Company.

We view community prosperity as the foundation of operational stability. From a business perspective, we have established
regular dialogue mechanisms to effectively mitigate conflict risks; from a social perspective, we provide infrastructure
assistance and livelihood support to directly boost the local economy. We adhere to responsible resettlement practices and
are dedicated to converting resource development into long-term local wellbeing to achieve mutual benefit between the Company and society.
- We have established our institutional framework around the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and the Community Relations Management Manual , ensuring all global operations comply with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights . We have established specific mechanisms, such as community engagement channels and a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), complemented by a dedicated social donation budget to support local infrastructure and education. This comprehensive framework enables us to address issues such as daily complaints and land acquisition in a transparent and responsible manner, thereby achieving shared development and mutual prosperity with local communities.
- Community Engagement Mechanism: We have established a multi-level communication system, referencing the United Nations Guiding Principles, and through a closed-loop grievance process, ensure that community concerns are addressed transparently and efficiently. We maintain regular dialogue with local authorities and residents to build deep mutual trust and integrate community feedback into our operational decisions and risk management.
- Community Development Support: We focus our efforts on targeted, project-based support in areas such as economic empowerment, quality education, and public health.

- Resettlement: We have formulated resettlement plans in accordance with international standards, emphasizing both fair compensation and livelihood restoration. Through the Resettlement Negotiation Committee, we implement land title processing and housing reconstruction, and we have invested special funds to support agricultural improvement and entrepreneurial assistance, ensuring that affected residents receive stable support and can achieve livelihood transformation after relocation.
- Further integrating the company grievance and communication channels across all mine sites to enable real-time tracking of complaint resolution, thereby enhancing transparency in dialogue with tribal authorities, government bodies, and residents.
- Gradually moving beyond one-off financial donations toward deeper industrial support, strengthening incubation for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and agricultural technology transfer at host sites to enhance community economic self-sufficiency post-closure.
- Continuously monitoring the long-term living standards of resettled residents through regular household surveys and livelihood restoration audits to ensure affected communities can meaningfully integrate into and benefit from their new living environments.
