ESG

Responsible Exploration 

We are committed to conducting all exploration activities at the Eureka Gold and Copper Project in a responsible and transparent manner. Operating in the Province of Jujuy requires careful environmental management and a strong partnership with local communities, and these principles guide our work from the earliest stages of project development.

Environmental Stewardship

The Province of Jujuy is a high-altitude region with sensitive ecosystems and limited water resources. Our exploration programme is designed to minimise disturbance through:

• Low-impact exploration methods.
• Responsible water use and protection of local water sources.
• Efficient use of energy and reduction of emissions in field operations.
• Progressive rehabilitation of areas affected by exploration activities.

Social Responsibility

Partnering with Local Communities

We work closely with communities across our area of operations and are committed to partnering with our local communities to materially support their socio-economic development. 

Our approach includes:

• Prioritising local employment and contracting wherever possible.
• Supporting local businesses through regional procurement.
• Making targeted contributions and donations to community initiatives that improve quality of life.
• Maintaining open, regular dialogue with community representatives to ensure our activities align with local expectations and cultural values.

These commitments form the foundation of how we build and maintain our social licence to operate.

Governance

• As a London-listed company, we operate under strong governance standards and clear accountability frameworks. Our focus includes:
• Transparent reporting to shareholders, regulators, and community stakeholders.
• Zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, and human rights violations, applying equally to employees, contractors, and service providers.
• High health and safety standards appropriate for high-altitude exploration, with expectations and requirements extended to all contractors working on site.
• Rigorous risk management to identify, assess, and mitigate environmental, operational, and social risks across our activities and those carried out on our behalf.

Commitment to Long-Term Value

By carrying out exploration responsibly and in partnership with local communities, we aim to deliver long-term value for shareholders and meaningful benefits across our investment footprint. Our ESG commitments guide how we operate today and how we plan for the future.
