energy from renewables, emissions and energy intensity, scope 1 & 2 & 3 emissions, greenhouse

emission targets, reclamation and tailings targets, environmental incident counts and

environmental certifications, and preventative practices and monitoring.

Social Risk – Both national and local community support are critical to successfully building

and operating a mine. Some of the key elements to assess include workplace safety metrics,

community investment, economic value generated and distributed, procurement from local
