salaried workers alike in the observation, review, and decision-making of potential safety improvements.

• Our operations have partnered with manufacturers and regulators to test the latest in mine safety

technologies within active mining environments.

• We also partner with local communities and non-governmental organizations to ensure appropriate and

sustainable post-mining reclamation practices.
