Sustainability

We are committed to delivering attractive and sustainable shareholder returns which for us is operating with integrity and growing responsibly. Growing responsibly means building our portfolio, managing risk and operating with discipline.

Though we do not have direct control over the policies and practices in which we invest, we recognise the importance of and are committed to investing in mines that are operated in a respnosible manner. We have established a set of criteria to assess ESG risks. In making new or further investments we will:

• seek to undertand and take into account ESG risks when evaluating investment opportunity
• endeavour to negotiate appropriate contractural protections with a view to seeking full discloure and transparency over mining operations’ ESG performance
• continue to monitor mining operations’ ESG performance
