The information presented on these pages is the Group’s first set of published key performance data. As such, this provides a starting point for a process of ongoing evaluation and continuous improvement as the Group seeks to use the KPI data
to enable it to make better management decisions.

As a rapidly growing mining business, the Group’s focus is on maximising its economic performance while minimising its environmental impact.

On a range of matters, the Group has used the KPI system to identify priority areas for improvement. These are principally related to the minimising of health and safety related issues and in reducing the number of reported environmental incidents.

Implementation of the KPI system will help the Group to measure its performance on an annual basis as it seeks to minimise its environmental footprint through land rehabilitation and the more efficient use of chemical reagents.

The principal source of power used, apart from vehicles and mobile equipment, is electrical power. This is drawn from the local supply grid and is generated by nuclear and hydro power plants. As a result, the carbon dioxide emissions from the Group’s operations are low and are limited to vehicle emissions.
