Accordingly, certain amounts in this table have been adjusted to reflect unaudited calendar year information. 2 Metrics are weighted average using Net GEOs. 3 We use the most current data available and adjust our calculations accordingly. None of the changes made to past data are material. 4 Energy and GHG emissions industry average statistics are based on data provided by Skarn Associates and industry average safety statistics were obtained from the ICMM. 5 Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEO”) production is estimated based on the following metal prices for each year using production units identified by Skarn Associates: $1,758/oz Au; $20.54/oz Ag; $6,185.82/lb Cu; $1,826.14/lb Pb; $2,268.85/lb Zn. 6 Net GEO production data may be updated for minor errors and inconsistencies identified in prior years. 7 Energy, GHG emissions and water data used to estimate portfolio performance was provided by Skarn Associates. Some data is estimated by Skarn and Skarn may update prior year estimates. 8 Also includes jurisdictions classified as “Arid and Low Water Use.”
