CONFLICT-FREE GOLD STANDARD The Conflict-Free Gold Standard is designed to be implemented by World Gold Council member companies and other entities involved in the extraction of gold. It was developed to establish a common approach by which gold producers can assess and provide assurance that their gold has been extracted in a manner that does not cause, support or benefit unlawful armed conflict or contribute to serious human rights abuses or breaches of international humanitarian law. CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN THE WORKPLACE INDEX The Children’s Rights in the Workplace Index, developed by UNICEF, is a benchmarking tool to evaluate and guide businesses on their responsibility toward children's rights in their operations and supply chains. The index defines three levels of recommended due diligence for each country based on the level of risk related to children's rights. These levels guide businesses in determining the depth of policies and practices required to address potential impacts on children in different regions. • Basic Due Diligence (Low-Risk Countries) • Enhanced Due Diligence (Medium-Risk Countries) • Heightened Due Diligence (High-Risk Countries) PRINCIPAL PROPERTIES - HUMAN RIGHTS METRICS Policies/Standards/Disclosures Andacollo Cortez Mount Milligan Pueblo Viejo Portfolio 1 Operators Teck Resources Limited Nevada Gold Mines LLC Centerra Gold Inc.
