Message from the Chairman

The roots of Myanmar Yang Tse grow strong within the fertile soil of our community. Unity, cooperation and kinship have prospered as our Chinese enterprise andtheMyanmarpeoplefindincommonthebenefitsweallmaygainfromthiscopper mining operation. Harmony and trust have been shared between us through the open lines of communication developed by our community programs, because of careful and peaceful consultations, and by listening to what it is that we need as a community to move into thefuture.Wefindourjourneyonthefootpath to success.

2014 will bring us as a community closer together, and will make our bond stronger as we work with all of our neighbours to build on the foundations of MYTCL’s social support systems. The Myanmar Yang Tse CSR platforms and the newly organised Inclusive Development Programme will take the CSD (Community and Social Development) activities to a fresh level of communityinvolvementandunifiedplanning. Strategies composed of village participation will be merged into our corporate process, aiming to continue to bringmutualbenefitstothepeopleofourregion.

A wise Chinese proverb claims “If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.” This is our priority, our mutual goal, and this is my promise. Myanmar Yang Tse will strive to ensure that hope does not become a dull colour of forgotten promises, but more than ever we will build upon, and invest in the greatest of our community’s attributes, its people. We are planning for your future beyond the life of our mining endeavours, and it is with you that we will design your vision of the future’s possibilities.

Geng YiChairman and Managing Director MYTCL

If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain.

If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.

If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.

A Word from the GenerAl mAnAnGer

Gong QingguoGeneral Manager – MYTCL

I welcome you all to our annual edition of the Safety, Health and EnvironmentStrategyReportfortheyear2013,andourdefinedInternational tactics for 2014 onward.

We have now completed a second full cycle in the life of the Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited Project, and with the conclusion of this year we have reached higher targets in areas we thought not possible. Our achievements have signalled across the country that our Project is one that will stand the changes of time, and that we willbeanintegralpartofthedevelopmentofthismagnificentcountry. We shine as an example of ‘International Good Practice’ in Myanmar, in regards to environmental protection and occupational health and safety management.

Since last year’s report we have grown in organisational capacity, evolved our equal opportunity methodologies, and established new training programs, formulating positive futures for a younger generation while encouraging our communities to achieve a sustainable livelihood past the closure of our Project. We have reached milestones in regards to production of Cathode Copper, and have further developed operational safety and health management systems to meet the increase of people and machinery on our site.

This year has not been one that went without incident. My personal focus forward will continue to be to implement new strategies, training and modern technologies, and to make certain that we at MYTCL are doing everything in our power to achieve our zero incident targets. Our suppliers and contractors also fall under our management systems, and their awareness has similarly been raised through the due diligence of our company’s directive of advancement in safety management.

Withgreatmilestonesstillaheadthatwilltakeourunifiedeffortstoachieve, I encourage every employee at MYTCL from Casual Labourer to Senior Management, to never lose track of where our primary focus is directed… towards our people. I know that each and every one of us at MYTCL is proud to say that we work with an organisationthatputsitspeopleandthesafetyofitspeoplefirstand foremost.

I look forward to a year of success, incident free and prosperous for us all!

“... formulating positive

futures for a

younger generation ...”

LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM KYADWINTAUNG MONASTERY

Due to the assistance of Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited the Kyadwintaung Monastery now faces an ease of travel to and from the Monastery, and the development of missionary works of the Buddha Sasana.

IthadalwaysbeenadifficultroadtotraveltotheMonastery,and while the construction of a new Community Hall and Pagoda was in progress, the bricks, sand and stones had to be carried up the rough road by hand. Donations of water also could not be brought by full truckloads and only in half-fullcontainersduetothedifficultroad.DuringtheWaterFestival last year many people, including approximately 90 Monks and novice Monks were unable to reach the Monastery directly by vehicle, and had to climb ladders and overstoneswithmanydifficulties.

Now because of the MYTCL road construction, as well as the ground work preparations made for the new Pagoda and Community Hall, motorcycles, cars and walking people can easily access this holy place. I am very grateful to MYTCL and its people for their contributions in helping our Monastery.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM WADAN VILLAGE

Wadan Village has been living with Tailings residue brought in by villagers to extract copper. This has caused bad odours, narrowed road-ways and unhealthy conditions when the rains come, as well as causing poor growth of vegetation.

Now, because of the assistance of Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited, our roads have been earth-paved, the wastelands removed and the Tailings collected and disposed of at MYTCL site. Our village is now clean and free of the dangers of the Tailings. The air is clean; the village well-ventilated now without the mounds of residue, and our roads are safer to drive on because they are wider for safe passage.

The villagers and village Elders send out this grateful letter of appreciation for all that MYTCL has done. We send our blessings to MYTCL and encourage them to continue to assist the surrounding people, and we hope that they will continue to develop their business in this environmental manner.UZawWin:AdminOfficerofWadanVillage

KnightPiésoldPtyLimitedwassignificantlyinvolvedwiththeSabetaung&KyisintaungProjectfrom1996 until 2005. Geotechnical consulting services were provided to the S&K Project by both Knight Piésold’sHeadOfficeinPerth,WestAustraliaandbyourbranchofficeinSingapore.

Knight Piésold’s role as Geotechnical Consultant held responsibility for geotechnical site investigations, and then subsequent design and construction of all heap leach pads, associated solution and storm water ponds, tailings dam and open-pit geotechnical advice and implementation for the two pits.

Knight Piésold also carried out the feasibility investigation and design for the Letpadaung Project. This work was comprised of investigation and design for the heap leach pads, solution ponds, open-pit dewatering pond, and recommendations on waste dump design and acid sludge dam design.

During our period of working on site we are happy to be able to state that during all construction work, the various S&K departments, and personnel involved with these departments assisted us to the utmost degree in our endeavours to construct to, and comply with QA /QC procedures, as well as to work to Knight Piésold’s company standards as a consultancy of international repute.

Inevitably, as the construction work progressed certain geotechnical and topographic conditions on site were found to be adverse to certain aspects of our designs, and therefore we were required to implementadegreeoffieldengineeringtoachieveKnightPiésold’srequirements.Duringsuchperiodswe were given willing and very able assistance from S&K personnel and management.

In addition, we are very proud to state that we were able to provide guidance and training to many S&K personnelinthefieldsofgeo-membranelinersubgradeconstructionandQA/QCtesting,linerdeployment and welding methods, and QA/ QC testing to international standards.

Although Knight Piésold had a limited role in environmental work, we did assist S&K personnel in their quest to apply international standards to their intensive water quality monitoring work.

In summary, Knight Piésold has been more than pleased to assist the Sabetaung & Kyisintaung project in the past; we commend them on their care for the environment and look forward to repeating our role with them continuing into the future.

About MYTCLAn Introduction of Sabetaung & Kyisintaung Operations

The Sabetaung and Kyisintaung (S&K) Mine is an open-cut copper ore mine of 3 deposits that are located in the Monywa District of Sagaing Division in Myanmar.

Established early in the 20th Century, west of the Chindwin River, the mine-site is approximately 40-minutes by road from Monywa and within a populated area of nearly 500,000 people. This semi-arid expanse offers about 700mm of annual rainfall, and where shrub covered rolling hills and Toddy-palm trees dotting the landscape are the common scene.

This is a legacy mining area that began in the early 17th century with artisanal mining of the area. In the 1950’s the S&K deposits began to be explored on a much larger scale and have developed into a mining enterprise today. The S&K mine has evolved into a mining municipality working side by side a bountiful agricultural community.

Many international companies have been involved in the development of this mine under several eras of ownership. In 2000 the pit optimum design of Kyisintaung was completed, and re-optimisation of the Sabetaung and

SabetaungSouthdepositswasfinalisedin2006with the assistance of consultants from GRD Minproc, an Australian consultancy group. Others such as Knight Piésold Pty Limited, Coffee Partners International Pty Ltd., The World Bank, Westec (Welsh Engineering Science & Technology, Inc.), Haskoning (Royal Dutch Consulting Engineers and Architects), Golder Associates, Ivanhoe and China Nerin Engineering Co., Ltd. are some of the more prominent world-class names that have been involved in the consultation and operations of the S&K projects.

Today the S&K Mine is operated by Wanbao Mining Limited with the name of Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited – MYTCL. Joining hands with mining businesses at home and abroad, based on the principles of international cooperationandmutualbenefit,WanbaoMiningis developing high-quality mineral resources from around the world.

Please feel free to contact us should you have any concerns, questions or comments. MYTCL maintains an open door policy for not only our employees, but also for our extended communities.

The Heap-Leach/SX-EW process is an environmentally friendly way to economically produce high-grade copper from low-grade ore deposits. MYTCL’s Sabetaung and Kyisintaung project adheres to a strict zero-dischargeoperation,andallsolutionflowsarere-circulatedtoensurethatnoeffluenceisdischargedfrom the mine to outside of the lease area.

After mining, the ore is stacked onto the heaps for leaching in two manners;

1. Primary crushing and stacking incorporatingthefine-screensremovingplant to wash the ore containing too many finesandclayminerals.

2. Ore is directly dumped by 100-tonne dump trucks directly onto the heaps. This is called Run of Mine dumping, or ROM dumping.

The processing of the ore to produce marketable copper involves the following three stages.

• Heap Leaching and Agitation Leaching to dissolve the valuable copper from the ore.

• Solvent Extraction to purify and concentrate the copper solution generated by leaching.

• Electrowinning to plate the copper metal as high grade cathode.

MINING TO METAL

Using surface delays, and modern technology, approx. 25,000kgs of explosives are used for each controlled blast pattern twice per day.


Normally, the ore from the mine’s pits are delivered to the Primary Crusher in order to reduce the maximum rock size from a diameter of approximately one metre down to an average of 30 mm through a two-stage crushing circuit. Many physical problems have been experienced with the higher contents of clay in some of the Sabetaung and Sabetaung South ore. These materials affect a lower leaching rate and recovery, due to poor permeability of the heap. Thereforethecrushingcircuithasbeenmodifiedby adding a Fines Screening Plant (FSP) to removethefinesasmuchaspossible.

At the primary crusher, mined ore is crushed to a maximum size of 230mm and it passes through the primary screens, with oversized (+40mm) materials crushed by the secondary crushers. Undersized material (-40mm) from the primary screen is washed and screened in a Fines Screening Plant in order to remove the majority of the less than 63 micron material that contains most of the clay. This material is stored in a specially prepared Tailing Fines Storage Facility, available for future treatment.

The de-slimed products greater than 63 microns are combined with discharged materials from secondary crushers and transported via a series of conveying system to a radial stacker that allows the ore to be placed onto a heap to an even height at 3 or 4 metres. At present, lift height is changed from 4 metres to 6+ metres for crushed ore due to lack of heap cell area. 8

ABOUT MYTCL - Mining to Metal Overview


The dimension of each cell is 700 metres long, 80 metres wide and able to stack about 360,000 MT at a 4 metre height, and about 500,000 MT at 6 metre heights. Ore is stacked by various blending ratios of incompetent and competent ore at 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60 etc. If incompetent proportions are higher within the blend ratio the leaching rate is very slow due to poor permeability in the heap, and other chemical reasons.Thereforeablendratiowasmodifiedtocontainmore competent ore, and ultimately a more efficientleachingrecoveryratewasachievedin2013. Due to the limitation of throughput of the crushing and stacking section, run-of-mine ore is directly placed onto the leach cells by dump trucks. Dumped ore is spread out by bulldozers asnecessaryandcontainsbothfineandcoarse

sizes. The entire stacking strategy is based on physical characteristics of mined ore, and evolves and changes as the ore characteristics themselves change as the mining progresses. Before installation of an irrigation pipe system the surface is ripped to one metre depths by

bulldozers. Ore characterisation is pre-determined from drilled chip samples sent to the metallurgical laboratory. The quality control personnel are assigned to supervise the process of selection, determining whether ore is going to be sent to crushing facilities for radial stacking, or for ROM dumping cells, as per the competency level of the ore. A continuous cell expansion program has been implemented for production targets. At present there are three leach pads with 42 cells, and three leach pads with 23 cells are under constructed with target completion dates in 2014. 8

• The Sabetaung South Pit was completed in March of 2013 at a depth of 150m below surface.

• Sabetaung Main Pit will be mined to a depth of 280m and is planned for completion in 2014.

• The Monywa deposits have a combined resource totaling 2 billion tonnes of ore with over 7 million contained copper, the second largest in SE Asia.

• Copper at Myanmar was extracted from shallow underground workings and smelted long before the British occupation in 1885.


Interesting Facts of the S&K Project


Copper ore is stacked by Dump-Truck on the heap cells and then prepared for irrigation. Through complex piping systems, the heavy copper-laden pregnant liquor solution (PLS) is then pumped to the Solvent Extraction Plant.

The stacked ore is irrigated using either a network of pipes and low pressure sprinklers, called wobblers, or drip irrigators. A diluted sulphuric acid solution containing high levels of dissolved iron is used to extract the copper from the stacked ore. The acidic solution is formed naturally from the heaps by the accelerated weathering of some rocks, which contains pyrite, an iron sulphidic mineral. Naturally occurring bacteria catalyses this reaction, and conse-quently, the process is termed Bio-Heap Leaching.

The base of each heap is lined with a 300mm clay layer to create an impermeable environmen-tally safe barrier. Next, high density polyethylene elastic sheet (HDPE) that in turn is covered by another clay liner to prevent copper solution loss, and to protect the acidic solution from seeping into the ground water system, is established.

Each heap is constructed on a slight slope, so that the solution containing the dissolved copper percolates down through the heaps to the liner andflowsdownhillintoaseriesofcollectionchannels that drain into a system of plastic-lined ponds. The solution containing the highest copper grade is directed into the pregnant leach solution, or PLS pond. The lesser concentrated solution is recirculated back from an intermediate solution

pond, or ILS, onto the heaps to increase the copper concentration. Once contained in the PLS pond, the solution is pumped to the solvent-extractionplantforfurtherpurification.Thissolution not only contains copper, but also impurities such as iron, all of which will be removedpriortofinalelectrowinningstages.Solution management to and from heap cells is strictly controlled on a daily basis.

SOLVENT EXTRACTIONAND ELECTROWINNING: SX-EW

Solvent Extraction involves the selective extraction of the valuable copper from the PLS into an immiscible organic phase, which consists of a complex organic extractant dissolvedinhigh-flashpointkerosene.Thesetwo types of solution are stirred and allowed to naturally separate along a settler, due to their differentspecificgravities.Fromthisstagethevaluable copper is stripped from the loaded organic phase by highly acidic electrolytes to produce an enriched electrolyte known as strong electrolyte. The remaining low-copper aqueous solution from the extraction stage, calledRaffinate,nowhighinacidcontentisrecycled to the leach cells to recover more copper, while the strong electrolyte is sent to the tank house for electrowinning.

The cathodes are stripped basically every seven days, with each copper laden cathode weighing approximately between 48-52kg as per the LME market standard. These sheets are washed with hot water, sampled, weighed and bundled for shipment. Sampling is being carried out on an 80-tonne-lot basis and analysis is completed at an offshore laboratory. MYTCL produces cathode copper that complies with London Metal Exchange Grade A rating, and is more than 99.999% in purity.

MYTCL Heap Cells are engineered for maximum stability in a seismic zone on average to a maximum height of 64 metres.

MANAGING SAFETY

Since April 22, 2003, an Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) based on the AS/NZS 4801:2001 standard was introduced at S&K project and replaced with OHSAS 18001:2007 standard on 25th July 2012. This implementation effectively assists in international and national legal requirements, while committing to sustained improvement in OHS performance. In September of 2013 recertificationofOHSAS18001:2007wasaccomplishedandauditingstructuresestablisheduntil2016.

Personnel are MYTCL’s greatest asset, and occupational health and safety risks associated with MYTCL’s activities are constantly encouraged to be reduced and effectively managed. MYTCL believes that all injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable and places heavy emphasis on hazard identification,riskassessmentandhazardcontrol.ProceduresforHazardIdentificationandRiskAssessment (HIRA) were developed and implemented based on the AS-4360 standard, and updated to the AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 framework. Risks are evaluated and registered within each department, aswellasfortheentireoperation.Identifiedriskshavebeencontrolledthroughapreferredorderofcontrol methods commonly referred to as a hierarchy. Safety objectives and targets have been established, based on the risk ranking, and detailed management programs for achieving those objectives and targets also have been developed.

In 2014 there will be an even greater emphasis on how risk management should be implemented and integrated throughout MYTCL, through the establishment and continuous improvement of the MYTCL risk management framework. The framework ensures that information about risk derived from the risk management process is adequately reported and used as a basis for decision making and accountability at all relevant levels within the MYTCL organisation (see diagram).

Our People Taking Care of our Greatest Asset

Without a strong mandate and commitment, the risk management framework will not be maintained.

• Understanding of the organisation’s activities and its context

• Establishing a risk management policy

• Definingaccountabilities

• Integration into organisational processes

• Provision of adequate resources to maintain the framework

• Establishing internal and external communication and reporting mechanisms

The framework design must take into account:

ENHANCED RISK MANAGMENT

The ISO 31000 standard provides guidance on the attributes of enhanced risk management. These attributes represent a high level of performance in managing risk and can be used to compare MYTCL’s own risk management performance.

OUR PEOPLE - Managing Safety

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is the primary risk assessment and management technique used for all operational activities. Task-list development, job-safety analysis and risk assessment are performed within a team-based environment.

The Departmental Management Plan (DMP) for each department are also continually reviewed and revised to comply with the latest developments within each department. Personnel involved in operations must be competent to perform tasks that may impact occupational health and safety in the workplace. MYTCL has therefore established education, training and awareness schemes to ensure that all personnel have the necessary capabilities and skills to perform their tasks safely.

Health and safety competency assessments, including identificationofhazards,riskassessments,andtheelementsof operational control and emergency response are conducted with each employee to ensure that health and safety risks are controlled to prevent harm from occurring.

Contractors and temporary employees make up a large portion of MYTCL’s workforce, especially in project activities. We recognise that the temporary operators and workers may be more at risk of injuring themselves where they are unfamiliar with MYTCL’s operations, and are undertaking non-routine tasks. Therefore, much of our efforts are devoted to the establishment of safe work practices focusing on contractors and temporary employees.

A safety procedure was developed for incident reporting and investigation. All incidents are reported and investigated with the aim of preventing recurrence within our organiation. Incidentsalsoareclassifiedandanalysedforcommontrends.

• Continual Improvement: through the setting of performance goals against which the MYTCL organisation or its managers are measured;

• Full Accountability of Tasks: designated individuals fully accept accountability, are appropriately skilled and have adequate resources to check controls, monitor risks, improve controls and communicate effectively about risks;

• Risk Management Application in all Decision Making: no matter the level of importanceorsignificance,explicitconsiderationofrisksandriskmanagementneedsto take place;

• Continual Communications: contact with internal and external stakeholders including the frequent reporting of risk management performance;

• Full Integration with the MYTCL Organisation’s Governance Structure: the MYTCL organisation’s governance structure and process is based on the management of risk.

The key attributes are:


WORKSPACE SAFETY AND HEALTH PERFORMANCE

MYTCL’s INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT POLICY - IMPWhile MYTCL’s safety record continues to improve in process year after year, there is considerable work still required to achieve our ambition of zero harm across all our operations. MYTCL management is held accountable for safety performance and all employees are expected to take personal responsibility and be involved in setting and complying with our standards and instigating improvement initiatives.

MYTCL will continue the drive to achieve zero harm across all of our operating sites and work locations by:

• complying with the laws, regulations and MYTCL operational policies and standards;• establishing measurable objectives and targets, recognise and celebrate their achievement;• identifying, assessing and controlling hazards and aspects, and eliminate or reduce the risk

to an acceptable level;• informing employees, contractors, visitors and the public of these hazards and aspects that

may cause potential harm to them; our business and/or our environment;• identifying, implementing, monitoring and reinforcing the safe behaviours we expect in our

business to eliminate unsafe acts and practices;• providing appropriate workplace health, safety and environmental training to employees and

contractors;• investigating incidents and sharing the learning’s with applicable stakeholders to prevent

re-occurrences; and• consulting and communicating with employees to continually improve the workplace health,

safety and environmental performance in our workplaces.

MYTCL’s INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - IMSThe IMS System provides the framework for management of workplace health and safety and environment at MYTCL, by clearly setting out the standards we require our people to meet. Managers and supervisors are required to provide leadership in relation to IMS by:

• effectively implementing the requirements of the standards;• developing and sustaining a strong culture of working safely and continuous improvement;• setting stretch improvement goals; and• allocatingsufficientresourcestoachievethegoals

There are three primary drivers behind MYTCL’s Integrated Management System:

Improvements to the systems in 2014 include a suite of leading indicators that will be tracked on a monthly basis at all levels of the business to continually review and focus on stretch improvements and milestone achievements. These will include:

• number of monthly meetings conducted – communication/consultation;• number of toolbox sessions undertaken;• safety walks conducted in the workplace;• task observations - review of tasks in line with work instructions;• workplace inspections ;• tracking of hazards reported and closed out; and• tracking of corrective actions from incidents.

Safety performance is one of the key criteria in determining management capabilities at MYTCL. In 2014, Managers will take on a greater responsibility for leading safety in the workplace and actively demonstrating commitment as safety role models, by undertaking a series of activities on a regular basis.

1. Protect the health and safety of people by providing a safe place of work and safe systems of work;

2. Operate within the law; and

3. Ensure people know their IMS responsibilities and how they are to be met.

LOST TIME INJURY FREQUENCY RATES (LTIFR)

DEFINITION OF LOST-TIME INJURY

Alost-timeinjuryisdefinedasanoccurrencethatresultedinafatality,permanentdisabilityortimelostfromworkofoneday/shiftormore.ThisdefinitioncomesfromtheAustralianstandard:Workplace Injury and Disease Recording Standard (Australian Standard 1885.1– 1990), published by

Standards Australia.

The Workplace Injury and Disease Recording Standard was developed to provide individual workplaces with a guide on how to establish an inexpensive and easy to use method of recording information on work injury and disease. The availability of usable and reliable occupational health and safety data is seen as essential by employers, trade unions and industry associations for the development, monitoring and evaluation of appropriate preventive strategies designed to improve the health and safety of the working population.

The Standard has been developed to satisfy the following objectives:

(a) To provide information on the nature and extent of occupational injury and disease at the workplace.

(b) To provide a comprehensive set of data for the management of occupational health and safety at the workplace and enterprise level.

(c) Toassistintheefficientallocationofresources.

(d) To identify appropriate preventive strategies.

(e) To provide data to monitor the effectiveness of preventive strategies.

DEFINITION AND CALCULATION OF LOST-TIME INJURY FREQUENCY RATES (LTIFR)

Lost-time injury frequency rates are the number of lost-time injuries within a given accounting period relative to the total number of hours worked in the same accounting period. This is calculated as follows and results in a measure of the number of lost-time injuries per hour worked during the accounting period:

(Number of lost time injuries in accounting period)-------------------------------------------------------------------(Total hours worked in accounting period) × 1 000 000

The number of lost-time injuries per hour worked is always a very small number. Therefore, for ease of interpretation, a multiplier of 1 million is used and LTIFRs are reported as the number of lost-time injuries per million hours worked. This is calculated as follows:

Mining Industry Standards are averaged on a 3.4 rating for metal ore mining and have reduced drastically throughout the past decade from an 8.8 LTIFR, and although MYTCL is well below this standard, traction in maintaining a safe environment for new employees and contractors, as well as improving on a well-above industry standards represents an area of opportunity where management plans to take action in rectifying without pause.

(32) Personal injuries with (7) LTI, (21) MTI and (4) FAI were also reported in this period. It was more than previous same period (9) injuries occurred in 2012. Most accidents are due to negligence or not following the MYTCL’s Safety Rules strictly.

Followingevidenceareidentifiedonreviewingtheincidenttrends.

• Light vehicle incidents were most common in this period causing Equipment Damage.

• Heavy equipment incidents were most common in this period causing Equipment Damage.

• Medical Treatment Injuries were caused by not following the procedures and lack of safety awareness.

• First Aid Injuries were caused due to striking against the water pipe line when opened water supply valve and rubbish entering into eye while repairing the roof of a security hut, striking againstthedooroffueltruckwhileassistingtorefillfuelExcavatorTX11,andenteringelectrolyte solution into the eye when electrolyte sample tap was broken by striking of a fallen stick.

Based on the above points, S&E is recommending the following actions to be taken to reduce incidents in general.

• Enforce to conduct Tool Box Meeting effectively within the organisation and to be recorded.

• Tighten up safety rules, especially to wear adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate to the task performed (Tool Box meetings, routine site inspection and recording).

• Organise the work site supervisors to explain the hazards of the tasks to the employees, especially to casual employees and contractor employees (Weekly Safety Meetings & Tool Box Meetings)

• Enforce Supervisors to recheck the work place frequently for ensuring that the employees are working with safe practice protocols.

• Enforce to report all type of incidents to investigate thoroughly and to take corrective or preventive actions for preventing recurrence (Departmental Action Registers).

OUR PEOPLE - Mine Site and Yangon Medical Health Services

CREATING JOBS FOR THE FUTUREFor many of the local people, higher education is simply not a possibility. At MYTCL we recognise this fact, and have therefore devised training programs and on the job training to allow for our Myanmar Nationals to receive free knowledge to enhance their abilities to succeed in our modern world. For the upcoming year of 2014, MYTCL has in the works an intensive focus on educating individuals who wish to pursue a career in the mining industry. Scholarships, bursaries and in-house training will give locals the advantages of learning several vocations on site, as well as being supported for overseas educational experiences.

TECHNICAL & TRADE TRAININGThe S&K Technical & Trade Training Program began in 2001, and in 2013 completed the 8th session of this on the job training free program. The objective of our Training Department is not only to provide our trainees with basic knowledge, but also with updated theories for practical skill needed in the work-site. MYTCL’s Training Programs and systems have proven to produce well-skilled trade persons and to have assisted employees with technical subject courses at high-quality world standard levels. So well in fact, that many have taken professional employment outside of our company and now work with international institutions.In 2014 there will be an elevation to the training program to include graduate training for candidates who have the ability to become part of the management teams, providing MYTCL with a younger generation of skilled leadership.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING

MYTCL recognises that a sustainable workplace is one that is both safe and rewarding for our employees.

In keeping with our current international status as a World-Class Mining Operation, modern technologiesexpectedtoimproveefficiencyandsafety,aswellastoreducecostsandenvironmentalimpacts are actively sought out and implemented through departments such as the Safety and Environment Research Department and from the Operations Management level. MYTCL is fully committed to providing in-depth and comprehensive training programs to assist each and every employee in maximising their own potential, all the while developing alongside the international communities.

Safety and environment learning, in every area of operations is a ceaseless array of refresher courses and of attaining modern knowledge.

BEHAVIORAL SAFETY - WHY DO WE HAVE SAFETY MEETINGS?Why do we have safety meetings? Safety meetings are an opportunity for MYTCL’s management and our safety department to communicate to employees how they can do their jobs safer and better. Topics discussed in safety meetings may be topics that our employees are familiar with, or topics that they have limited knowledge about.

“If the topic is something that you are familiar with, it may be easy to tune-out and not listen to the safety information presented. Do yourself a big favour and listen to the information as if you have never heard before. You may just learn something new, about the newest protective equipment, or a smarter way to do your job.”

Information passed on in a safety meeting has a purpose - to stop our valued workforce from being injured. Safety meetings also allow our employees an opportunity to relay safety concerns or improvement ideas to their MYTCL supervisors.

Accidents result from unsafe acts or unsafe conditions. According to some experts, for a variety of reasons, unsafe acts typically account for 90% of all accidents. Safety meetings serve as a preventative measure against unsafe acts by educating employees on how they can do their job safely. Hereisalistofpotentialcostsofaccidents,andhowwespecificallyaddresshowtheycanaffectouremployee’s lives.

• DEATH - The ultimate unwanted result. Where does this leave your loved ones?

• FINANCIAL COST - Lost pay or reduction in pay. Who pays the bills? Are you the sole income producer in your household?

• PAIN & SUFFERING - An obvious detriment that no one desires.

• DISABILITY - A life changing experience. Now you’re not able to do what you use to do. Maybe now you can’t walk? Ride that bike, hug your wife, lift your child,orsimplysee?Orperhapsyou’reconfinedtoahospitalbedforlife.Goodbye career.

• YOUR CO-WORKERS SAFETY - Perhaps you and your co-worker have been working together for some time now. Chances are you may spend as much time with your co-workers as you do your own family. Thus, you obviously do not want something bad to happen to them. Watch out for their safety too.

“Safety meetings are a perfect opportunity for you to communicate any safety ideas or concerns that you may have. Participate in your safety meetings. If you don’t participate, then your ideas will not be heard. Who knows…the idea that you have may very well save your co-worker’s life or even your own.”

Daily Management Meetings reinforce safety topics.

ENVIRONMENT TRAININGProtecting the environment is a priority for all members of our society. Governments have a key role in setting environmental standards and ensuring that individuals and organisations meet them. Increasingly in Myanmar, governments, industry and community organisations are working as partners to protect our environment for present and future generations. And training of our employees is the key to our success.

The viability of the mining industry is challenged because of high expectations for environmental protection, lower risk to human health, competing land use demands, and the value of the natural environment as recreational space, and as the repository of valuable biological assets, natural environmental services and aesthetic appeal.

MiningpracticeatMYTCLhasevolvedtoreflecttheseconcernsandregulatoryrequirements, and we have introduced management policies and practices and have adopted technologies that allow mining to occur with minimum environmental harm.

Thebenefitsofgoodpracticeincludepreventingharmfulenvironmentalandsocialimpacts, improved access to land for mineral exploration, greater certainty of outcomes in the project application stage, lower risk of non-compliance, greater acceptance/less resistance from key stakeholders (in particular local communities andlandowners),lowerfinancialburdensinthemineclosureandrehabilitationphases,andlowerriskofsignificantliabilitiespost-closure.

We at MYTCL are environmentally responsible miners, and are always looking at new ways to minimise the impacts of our operations on the environment. Some of these include:

• Keeping the mining ‘footprint’ (the disturbed area) to a minimum;

• Ensuring the maximum extraction of the mineral from the smallest area;

• Minimising the risks of surface and groundwater pollution;

• Minimising the consumption of energy in the form of diesel, petrol and electricity used in mining and processing operations;

• Minimising emissions to atmosphere in the form of particulate (dust), exhaust fumes from vehicles and smoke stacks;

• Increasing employee training, including environmental, safety and health awareness;

• Investing in the local community infrastructure; and

• Through both concurrent and post-closure rehabilitation, returning the mining areas to positively useful and self-sustaining landforms.

On closure of surface mines, they can be rehabilitated to many useful landforms, including:

• Water storage areas and associated recreational facilities;

• Creation of botanical gardens and adventure centres;

• Forestry;

• Establishment of parks, and or historic tourist destinations;

• Agriculture – crops and grazing; and,

• Landfillingwithselectedwastes.

“ We at MYTCL are environmentally responsible miners, and are always looking at new ways to

minimise the impacts of our operations on the environment.”

Safety and Environmental Training


The question as to who should be responsible for an employee’s professional development is an easy one to answer; it is the Employer.

Long-term individual development is still the responsibility of the potential employee. But we at MYTCL believe that once the individual has been hired, professional development becomes the responsibility of our organisation. Although the employee was hired with a certain set of knowledge, skills and abilities, if the roles and responsibilities of the position change, and they will, MYTCL maintains a “corporate social responsibility” to invest in our human capital. Employees are investing in MYTCL by working longer hours, by handling evolving tasks and assuming increased responsibilities. The mandate of MYTCL therefor in turn chooses to invest in the development of human capital for the benefitofboththeorganisationandtheemployee.

The concept of human capital can be interpreted in many ways. One of them could be looking at the person as an asset; as a resource that belongs to the organisation and from which we can demand all itscapacityandcommitment.Amoresuitabledefinition,whichMYTCLfeelsisappropriatewithinourcode of ethics structure of responsible and sustainable development, is that human capital is a treasure thatourcompanyhasavailablewithrespecttothequalificationsofthepersonnelthatworkhere.Therefore, human capital represents the value that each and every MYTCL employee brings to the table, according to his/her studies, knowledge, capabilities and skills.

MYTCL understands the true value of professional development, culture, innovation and creativity, and also recognises the value of continuously educating our employee base. Our organisation acknowledges that by providing individual development that we will be better positioned to adapt to the rapidly changing demands of today’s work environment. Incorporating professional development within the overall corporate strategy is the challenge we offer all of our employees.

MYTCL has in fact integrated professional development into our business model. We promote this philosophy “…. we’re constantly learning and improving as an organisation. We have a healthy disregard for the ‘impossible’ and ‘the way things are normally done’.” We also take the time to practice whatwepreach.Aworkenvironmentthatisfulfillingandchallenging,andwhichalsodeliversemployeepride, respect and a sense of ownership is a win-win situation for all that should not be lost through the hectic day to day operations of our 24hr work environment.

While there will still be high levels of unemployment in our surrounding villages and regions, generally people have changed their perspectives. They want work which is meaningful, rewarding, and enjoyable. Top performers will seek out career growth. Mid-level staff will strive for leadership development. And MYTCL, as an HR organisation, commits to compete, adapt, and innovate to grow fromwithin.MYTCLalsoaimstoattractadiverseworkforcewhichreflectsthecommunitiesinwhichwe operate. We remain committed to respecting the various differences which exist among our people, whilealsorecognisingthebenefitswhichcomefromadiverseworkforce.MYTCL’spolicyonfairness,respect and diversity of employment guides our people on the importance of maintaining a work environment that is inclusive and offers opportunities to all people based on merit.

Human Resources, as a business unit of our organisation, will continue to evolve and focus on the developmentandtrainingprogramsforourvaluedemployees,andtofindnewandinspiringwaystoretain, motivate and improve our work-force as a whole.

POLICIES FOR THE PEOPLE

To unify the company, and to empower the people who had some hesitations of the new ownership, a Remuneration Committee was established, gathering together a group of persons to represent each portion of the Mine Management. This Committee would become the driving force behind making solid changes to the company, and approving any and all internal personnel growth and reward.Policies were established with the leadership of Upper Management, and new beginnings with equality for all began to be placed down in writing.

HEPATITIS-B AND HIV POLICY New employee must undergo a pre-employment medical test to obtain permanent status, and those foundtohaveHepatitis-Bweredeemedasunfitforemploymentandnotacceptedtowork.Focusingon the need for not only protection of all existing employees, Casual – Contract – Permanent, but also to allow those with this disease to work on site was carefully reviewed. A new policy was created that tested all employees and vaccinated all negative persons, allowing for a safe and protected work environment. All persons were also tested for HIV. Those who test positive are consulted by the MYTCLdoctorsinconfidence,andclosefamilyareinvitedtocomeintobetestedfornocostandalsotaught how to live with this incurable disease.

60+ RETIREMENT POLICYTherehadbeennocleardefinitionofhowemploymentwouldcontinueformostpeopleovertheageof60stillfitforwork.In2012anewpolicywasintroducedtoallowforafairandequalopportunitytocontinue working at MYTCL after the legal age of retirement. In December of 2013, the General Manager with Operations Management created a new system that would solidify, and take equality one step further to the previous changes made for +60 employments. This Retirement Policy will provide that: A dismissal based on age is fair if the employee has reached normal or agreed retirement age for persons employed in that capacity. The MYTCL organisation may also therefore determine to adhere to a normal, or an agreed retirement age. The Company has adopted the normal retirement age of 60 years but recognises the need to retain certain exceptional, highly skilled and productive staff, particularly those in scarce skill disciplines, beyond the age of 60. It accordingly permits extensions beyond retirement and in conjunction extend with the rules of the retirement Provident Funds.The purpose of this policy is to establish the normal age of retirement and the principles for a fair and consistent assessment of applications for extension beyond retirement. PRINCIPLES

• Staff who are retiring shall be given at least one year’s notice, of the decision to grant extension beyond retirement or not, in order to facilitate retirement planning.

• There shall be fairness, consistency and transparency in the criteria and procedures for granting extensions beyond retirement.

• All assessment panels or committees shall provide detailed reasons for recommendations or decisions.

• Applicants for extension beyond retirement shall be treated with sensitivity, but no extension beyond retirement shall be granted purely on compassionate grounds.

• Except in exceptional circumstances, staff members beyond normal retirement age shall not occupy temporary, nor permanent leadership roles. This is to ensure capacity building, equal opportunity and transformation.

• All applications for extension beyond retirement shall be considered by a duly appointed Retirement Assessment Committee of the Remuneration Committee of the Company, which shallmakethefinaldecision.

• There shall be no appeals with respect to the decision of the Retirement Assessment Committee of the Remuneration Committee.

The Company values the contributions made by all staff regardless of age. It nevertheless recognises that some level of staff turnover is essential in order to introduce new skills and approaches or to re-focus activities that impact on the success of the Company. Staff turnover is also imperative if the Company is to achieve its transformation goals. The normal age of retirement for all staff shall accordingly be 60 years of age in adherence to Myanmar Law, and shall take effect at the end of the year in which the staff member reaches the age of 60 years.Staff may elect to retire at the end of the month in which they reach 60 years. 8

Policies for the People


EXTENSIONS BEYOND NORMAL RETIREMENT AGEThe Company recognises the need to retain certain exceptional, highly skilled and productive staff beyond the normal age of retirement. Accordingly, the Company may grant an extension beyond normal retirement to a staff member who has reached normal retirement age, for a period of up to three years,inthefirstinstance,withthepossibilityofafurtherextensionforuptotwoyears.Anyfurtherextension past 65 years of age will be granted only upon the recommendation of the General Manager. Notwithstanding the period of extension granted, a staff member on extension beyond normal retirement age must meet or exceed the expectations for their post in the annual performance and medical assessment process. Should their performance fall below expectation in any year of assessment, their contract may be terminated. Extensions beyond retirement shall not be automatic and shall depend on detailed assessments. The duration of the extension shall be determined taking into account 3 key points:

1. Major projects in which the employee has a key role;2. Where continuity is essential; and,3. The duration of an approved succession plan.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITSSocial Security: MYTCL supports the Social Security Scheme for the emergency and special medical care in such case as illness, sustaining injury from work accidents, maternity and death.

Mine Owner’s Liability: MYTCL complies with the Mine Owner’s Liability (Insurance) to all permanent and contract employees. In future years to come, all employees will be insured according to law.

Provident Fund: The Provident Fund has been established in order to gain retirement funding at the end of MYTCL employee’s careers. MYTCL and each employee who voluntarily join this program contribute 3% each of the employee salary to a special bank account for the Provident Fund. Upon retirement the employee is awarded the full sum of their fund.

GENERAL GOOD WILLThe S&K Community, the Villagers and the surrounding area of the MYTCL Mine-Site have become family over the course of the years, and although ownership has changed, the Myanmar National people are the constant that has endured the ages. MYTCL is proud to have been adopted into this ancient network of friends, family and neighbours, and whenever possible joins in with the cultural celebrations and festivals of the people and of the different religions of the area.

Engaging in donations to the community itself, or directly to monks and monasteries for religious days, MYTCL provides social welfare to many events during the course of the year, and also joins in with the fun. For employees and their families Sport Day Activities occur every year in December, there is an annual Water Festival, Fun Fair during Independence Day, as well as monthly religious days when holy traditions are respected and charities offered to the monks.

Along with these special events there also follow some regular activities to help make life easier within MineTown.HousingAllowanceisprovidedtoallpermanentemployees,waterpurificationcentresareoperated and maintained by MYTCL, road-works and electrical work are completed, and security and general assistance to the entire Community in any crisis, or time of need is extended.

Preserving Your Future ...



Achieving both sustainability and continual improvements requires that MYTCL persistently evaluate existing environmental performances of thecertifiedenvironmentalmanagementsystemagainst its environmental policies, objectives and targets for the purpose of identifying opportunities by the organisation.

Furthermore, in order to attain sound perpetual development, identify and improve environmental performance, determining the root cause and causesofnon-conformanceordeficiencies,and developing and implementing a plan of corrective and preventative actions are also vigorously carried out in conjunction with the operations of multifarious mining activities.Seven key areas of environmental management are reviewed below; namely air, water, energy, waste, land, biodiversity and compliance. Key Performance indicators (KPI) are used to determine where improvement and action must be taken. These KPI also evaluate the environmental conservation activities success of MYTCL.Eachareahasdefinedandgloballymeasured attributes of environmental conservation.

1AIR Air quality is monitored on a regular basis to provide operational air quality data. All records from MYTCL relating to dust and acid mist levels are below harmful exposure levels.

DUST EMISSION CONTROLSMining operations generate dust on roads and in crushing, conveying and stacking areas. MYTCL operates a dust-separation technology by the spraying of water to control dust rising up from the mine pits, primary crusher, crushed-ore stockpiles and haul roads. Thirty-seven dust-monitoring stations are installed in major dust-emitting areas, and recorded levels are reviewed monthly. Grass cover and re-vegetation is employed on exposed soil around the mine site. Results have been variable because dust is caused by different sources, and different locations and results are mostly seasonal. For comparison, results at 37 spots indicate that dust-fall trends to lessen in the wet season. The main source of dust is the ore crushing and conveying system, particularly during the dry months. The heaviest dust-fall was recorded in the area nearby the Primary and Secondary Crushers. Point DM-4 (East of Primary Crusher) recorded the highest dust-fall during March and April. The dust-fall at the remaining spots indicates acceptable amounts in all seasons. Elevated dust fall levels were also apparent in areas adjacent to the access roads and haul roads in the dry seasons.

In 2013, Operations Management and the SE Department worked with the villages that were directly impacted by the commencement of the Kyisintaung Development. Dust emissions were recordedat2specificlocationswhereexcessivedust became a concern. Yegybin Village and Ywatha Village were monitored on a daily basis, and although the dust records reached high levels for brief moments, they were well below the world standards for extended periods of time. Mining efforts were mitigated to reduce dust emissions affecting these villages and dust levels lowered even further below world standards so as to eliminate any impact to the delicate Betel-leaf crops within the wind-bearing distance.The impact was reviewed and it was found that due to the seasonal Monsoon winds changing from a southerly direction to a northerly that heavy dust generated from blasting moved directly into these areas.

SX-EW Plant, Electro-Wining TankHouse, Acid Mist DetectionMeasured Acid Levels at Tank House A


Future mine planning will refrain from causing such disturbances in the future. The SE Department also worked closely with the CSD Team (Community & Social Development) to ensure that farmers were taking additional precautionary measures during these times of the year for the future.

To ensure that dust emissions had no impacts directly to the crops, the Ministry of Agriculture from the Salingyi District was consulted, brought in for inspections, and released a report indicating that the MYTCL blasting activities resulting in dust emissions had no impact to their harvests.

Nonetheless, MYTCL consulted with the farmers, made donations for Agricultural Management Aide for better pest control, as well as plans to assist with future agricultural growth for such crops.

Acid mist exposure is measured in the SX-EW Plant areas.

ACID-MIST MONITORINGThe processes of Copper Heap Leaching and Electro-winning emit acid mist into the atmosphere. Acid-mist emissions are monitored monthly around the heaps, and daily within the tank-houses of the SX-EW plant. Results show that acid-mist levels are well below the allowable exposure levels, and this is measured directly inside the area.

A recent study was conducted due to complaints from a nearby monastery, and acid mist levels were monitored within the monastery. This study of tank house acid mist spreading to the surrounding area did not show any measurable presence.

Worker Exposure Standards for Acid Mist During an 8hr Period: <1mg3 (260 Ppb)

Monthly Dust Monitor Data - Year 2013


SURFACE WATERThe MYTCL S&K Project is located in a dry-zone area with a high rate of evaporation and medium levels of rainfall. The few surface-water bodies that exist in the project area are summarisedas follows:Wetlands: An environmental control of fresh water run-off during the rainy season which maintains a natural wetland ecosystem.Ponds: A series of constructed control ponds to collect contaminated run-off from active operating areas. Process solution collection ponds are monitored to prevent contamination to the surroundings, such as the Chindwin River or the Yama Stream.

GROUND WATERAshallow,semi-unconfinedaquiferliesbeneaththe mining operations area of the S&K Project. The water level of this aquifer varies with the wet and dry seasons. MYTCL has installed 60 boreholes around the S&K Project to monitor the groundwater quality. Ground water is observed 10-meters below the surface within these

boreholes. Excess aquifer fresh water from the mine pit is pumped out into a silt trap pond and then released into the Yama Stream. In addition to MYTCL scientists evaluating the water samples, from time to time an independent laboratory is employed to analyse and check the samples.

CONSUMPTIONThe S&K project area lies in the Chindwin River Basin. The principal watercourses near the mine area are the Chindwin River and Yama Stream. TheChindwinRiver,whichflowsapproximatelysix kilometres to the east of the project area, is a major tributary of the Ayeyarwady, and has a catchment that covers 113,000 km2. Snowmelt and rainfall in the upper reaches of the basin heavilyinfluenceflowsintheChindwinRiver.With the onset of summer, melting snow in the upper basin highlands and Monsoon rainfall translatetostreamrisesandfloodingatMonywa.Data from the Monywa Stream Gauging Station showthatstreamflowsarelowestovertheperiodDecembertoMay,withtheaveragebaseflowduringthisperiodat800m3/s.Streamflowsincrease markedly during the Wet Season

The Yama Stream, which lies to the north of the projectareaandflowswithin200metresofKyisintaung, is a tributary of the Chindwin River, and has a catchment of 2,046 km2. The mean annualflowrangesfrom233m3/sto586m3/s,with an average of 350 m3/s. Ultimately the consumption from the waterways for the S&K project has no impact on natural water resources. In fact, approximately 1,000m3 /hr are recharged to the Yama Stream from the fresh water dewatering from the Kangon Aquifer Formation located in the Sabetaung Pit.

PUMP STATION WATER CONSUMPTION & UTILISATION FROM THE CHINDWIN RIVER



In terms of consideration in sustaining the environment while accelerating mining operations, the aspiration for reducing energy consumption is essentially integrated into the environmental management system of MYTCL. Nevertheless, the progressive requirements in line with expansion of operational activities create high energy consumption. The deeper the pit, the more power is consumed by dewatering pumps, which contribute to the largest power consumed amongst all operational activities.

The main sources of fuel are diesel and petrol, which are widely used in mechanical machinery, heavy and light vehicles, as well as the practice of power stations. Electricity stands in second place of energy sources utilised to date. Effectual schemes to gauge amounts of utilisation and to conserve energy are being developed to accentuate potential savings.

MYTCL is employing international good-practice planning,cost-effectiveandfirst-rateavailabletechnologies to apply an alternative to lessen fuel usage than that of electricity, intended to diminish CO2 emissions and ultimately use more clean energy where possible.

Full amounts of CO2 emission resulted from fuel usage and explosive activities in the S&K project area is favourably within stable conditions from April 2002 until today, with no detrimental impacts to the environment.

4HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (HAZMAT)

MYTCL uses various kinds of products, reagents and explosives in its production processes. Some are hazardous substances and control procedures have been developed and implemented to minimise the risk of handling such materials. These substances may cause injuries or health problems if their use is not controlled. MYTCL has trained all personnel and issued HAZMAT guidelines for handling and storing of Dangerous Goods.

ACID ROCK DRAINAGE (ARD) Mining operations produces, in addition to inert waste, potential acid-forming waste containing oxidised or Sulphidic minerals that are capable of producing an acid contaminant (ARD material) when exposed to air and water. MYTCL is committed to a Zero Discharge Policy, and maintains control over acid rock drainage as per the ARD Management Plan. Waste dumps are designed and constructed with clay lining and inert material on the sill, then encapsulated or ‘bunded’ with clay and inert material around the dumps to prevent from ground contamination.

Contaminated water from the pit is pumped into theOverflowPond,whilerun-offreleasedfromthe process leach pad areas is contained in the Storm-Water Pond and any excessive water is then pumped into the Tailings Dam. All contaminated solution is recycled as make-up water for the process of irrigating the Heap Cells.

LAND DISTURBANCEMYTCL’s leased area totals 2,300 hectares, and is comprised of vegetated land, hills and ancient pits left by previous mining activities. Mining operations and the processing of ore inevitably change the natural landscapes. MYTCL assumes the responsibility to minimise land disturbance and to rehabilitate the areas inevitably affected. Since 2001 the company has established and implemented a rolling 3-year program of progressive rehabilitation and revegetation within the lease, which has made excellent progress and continues in effect.To control land disturbance on the S&K Project, a permit system is used to ensure personnel and departments understand that the areas to be disturbed shall have minimal environmental impacts.

5LAND DISTURBANCEManaging a Delicate Ecosystem

IMPACTED SITE MANAGEMENTIn 2013, 9-sites have been recorded as disturbed and as either contaminated, impacted or affected. These locations will be closed as part of the Mine Closure Plan, which will rehabilitate all MYTCL sites detected to date. The old Flotation Plant and limestone waste stockpile are among several sites used by previous mining operations and listed as contaminated. MYTCL is not responsible for remediation of any pre-existing sites. Sabetaung Pit, Sabetaung South Pit and the heap-leach pads are disturbed sites that remain in operation. Additionally, 9-sites previously listed as disturbed have been closed and rehabilitated. MYTCL’s Environmental Site Management Program, monitored by the SE Department, references standards set by the National Environment Protection Council of Australia.

WILDLIFE SPECIES PRESENCE AND ENDANGERED SPECIESAnnually a Flora and Fauna Study is conducted by an in-country specialised company, led by the country’s leading expert Dr. Win Maung. Referencing the original MICCL Baseline Study and monitoring reports, the species presence, or declinethereof,ofbothfaunaandfloraareobserved on a year by year basis within the impacted areas of the S&K Project lease.

The conservation of biodiversity continued by MYTCL has a primary focus involving endangered, vulnerable and endemic species of birds and mammals. An area of conservation was determined and outlined to not be impacted within the lease area. It showed to be the dwelling of many of the fauna species indigenous to the area, and home to their feeding grounds. The mountain areas and their foothills of the north-eastern lease area of S&K, known as the Kyadwintaung, Hninsitaung and Taukamauk

6BIODIVERSITYPreserving Flora & Fauna

mountains, have been reserved by MYTCL specificallytoallowthefaunaofthisareatore-establish, or maintain livelihood. Nonetheless, human intervention, farming and the mine itself have been a part in the decline of the native fauna of this area. Future plans of establishing a permanent protected conservation area, currently named the Tiger Rose Wildlife Reserve, are in preparation with government assistance.

The Dhole (Cuon alpinus adustus), now regarded as endangered species by the Red Data Book, has been recorded since 1998 in the project area and increased in number under the careful protection rendered by the organisation.

Likewise, the Eld’s Deer (Cervus eldi) also a vulnerable species, progressively migrant from neighbouring villages into the area of S&K project due to the safety and magnetism of the newly- born woodland rehabilitation planning of MYTCL. The organisation is going to make a plan of further investigation in respect of their relative abundance, distribution status and niche of this particular wildlife species.

The presence of 2 species out of 4 National endemic species of avian fauna exist within the mine lease, amongst them the Hooded Tree Pie (Crypsirina cucullata), and the other species that catches the full interest of most Ornithologists is the White Throated Babbler (Turdoides gularsis), abundant in numbers recently.

The Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak), also commonly called the “barking deer” due to the bark-like sound that it makes as an alarm when danger is present, is a common species found still thriving in the area. The Green Bee Eater is also a common site found nestling in the sandy roadsides at MYTCL.




Environmental incident reporting is required to identify areas for improvement and to track progress on the treatment of an area following an incident. In 2013 there were a total of 6 environmental Incidents, which produced little to no impact within the lease areas. Immediate response was taken in each event through the well-trained concerned departments. Incidents were reported in a timely manner, and conservationwasattainedwithverylittledamagetothefloraincontact.AllareasofEnvironmentalIncident were related to the Process Department and solution spillage.

Additional precautionary measures were taken to inspect all pipelines and joints as part of an improvement program to acknowledge this area of concern, and departmental training was accelerated.

Conservational Rehabilitation and Revegetation of the Sabetaung North Acid Waste (ARD) Dump.


REHABILITATION AND REVEGETATIONMYTCL is responsible for restoring the natural landscape and for rehabilitating the area during and after mining operations. Minimisation of land disturbances and progressive rehabilitation has been carried out in the following areas of the mine site:

• Land disturbed by previous mining activities• Decommissioned areas• Tailings-spills reclaimed area from previous mining• Abandoned waste dumps from previous mining• Areas where no future mining activities are expected

The company has developed a rolling three-year rehabilitation plan to re-vegetate areas disturbed by previous mining activities and areas where no future mining activities are expected. The three-year work plan is carried out through MYTCL’s annual rehabilitation program. This ensures that the amount of disturbed area is kept to a minimum at all times.

The rehabilitation program has achieved excellent results. A total of 363 hectares have been rehabilitated since 1999. The goal of the 2013 plan was to plant 50,000 trees in 47.7 hectares. In fact, approximately 56,780 trees were planted. This included 22.76 hectares in rehabilitation blocks of Sabetaung Waste Dump Site near New DondawVillageandotherflatplainareasthroughout the S&K Project. In 2014 MYTCL plans to rehabilitate above a projected 45.5 hectares of disturbed land by planting with close to 70,000 assorted native trees. A new boundary fence-line is also under construction, where a protection boundary of plantation forestry will inhibit the possibility of acid-mist from the newly constructed leach pads in this area.

A detailed plan has been implemented by Environmental Management and reviewed by the Ministry of Greenery and of Forestry with absolute compliance and appreciation for the conservation efforts to minimise any impact outside of the lease areas. Aesthetically it will also change the now barren landscape to a more visually stimulating boundary line.

VIBRATION MANAGEMENTIn 2013 it became a perogative of MYTCL to add to the existing 36 ECPs a 37th. This would be a Vibration Control Procedure. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the surrounding village structures and religious historical buildings, vibration monitoring was conducted and an emphasis was placed on control and mitigation of areas that showed sensitivity. As the Kyisintaung Project began development, concerns were raised from local villagers in regards to the impact the vibrations were possibly accountable for. Blasting measures were practiced and resonance and peak particle velocity (PPV) monitored to ensure damage was scrupulous, or caused due to other means. Despite utilising absolute minimums in accordance with world standards from various continents, damage still occurred. To this impact MYTCL responded with rebuild support and proper engineering of facilities to not only withstand the small vibrations caused by blasting the new Kyisintaung Project, but to also mitigate against sizable vibrations in this highly seismic area.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AND OUTREACH

VILLAGE EDUCATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNSThe Safety and Environment Department is diligently working with local villages and their leadership to educatethepeopleofourcommunitiesthesafetyandenvironmentalissuesaffiliatedwithMYTCLandthe S&K Project, as well as how to make an environmental reduction of their own Carbon Footprint. The objective of this well-planned exercise is to make all of our neighbours aware of the care for the environment that we altogether must take, and that we at MYTCL are following internationally recognisedandscientificallyprovenmeasurestoreduce,reuse,rehabilitateandrespectourenvironment.

Every month through to July of 2014, a new village has been scheduled for a consultation from the S&E Department. During this visit, our teams will discuss current or past issues and take the time to test well-water and complete healthcare check-ups on some of the inhabitants or new-born’s from each village, listening to concerns and offering assistance or advice for solutions.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the voluntary actions undertaken by Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited to either improve the living conditions (economic, social, environmental) of local communitiesortoreducethenegativeimpactsofourminingprojects.Bydefinition,voluntaryactionsare those that go beyond legal obligations, contracts, and licence agreements.

MYTCL’s CSR programs usually invest in infrastructure (potable water, electricity, schools, roads, hospitals, hospital equipment, drainage repairs, etc.), building social capital (providing information on HIV prevention, workshops on gender issues, information on family planning, improving hygiene, etc.), and building human capital (providing high-school and university education, training local people to be employed by our mining enterprise or to provide outsourced services, promote and provide skills on micro-business, aquaculture, crop cultivation, animal rearing, textile production, etc.).

Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited has chosen to undertake CSR programs in order to build better relations with the local mining communities in which we operate and in response to demand from our neighbouring, poverty-stricken villagers.Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited, together with Myanmar Wanbao Mining Copper Limited have elevated the Corporate Social Responsibility programs beyond the requests of a few villages’ immediate needs. We have established a diverse network of sustainable programs to assist the growth and birth of a new democracy within the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

• Free of charge Medical Care will be provided to all local villages.• A Scholarship Program and other educational donations will be contributed to nearby villages of

Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Limited and Myanmar Wanbao Mining Copper Limited.• Creation of job opportunities and setting a priority to recruit those from relocated villages and

who lost their farming land to our mine areas.

For aged persons who are not able to work in our company and who have no other family members in relocated villages, the company will provide

them with investment money to purchase domestic animals such chicken, cattle, sheep, goats etc.

• The company will establish one pre-primary school and one technical training school for the

local community, where the local villagers can attend these schools free of charge.• The company will set up a Scholarship Program for local outstanding students who cannot

affordsecondaryInstitutionsduetotheirfinancialsituation.Aftercompletionoftheircourse,thecompany will appoint them in their applicable trade and professionally work according to the degree or diploma achieved, if they are willing to work within our mines.

• Donations of basic household foodstuffs such as rice, oil and salt, etc. will be provided to relocated villages on occasion.

• Provision of the means to obtain drinking water and domestic water for local villages.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY – CSR

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS


THE BIRTH OF COMMUNITY & SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT It was through the acknowledgement by MYTCL that there is a critical lack of national capacity, and lack of experience needed to prepare and plan for a sustainable future for the communities associated with the mine, that action was taken in early 2013 to create an Integrated Development Action Plan to address the issues of sustainability and community development.

There had been legacy programs in place with the previous ownership, but they lacked the function of separation from the mine once completion had been established. There were immediate goals, such as training programs and donations, but there was no long-term planning for development or infrastructure andcommunitygrowth.Thefocuswasonbenefitsdirectlyinrelationtomining.Ashiftawayfromthemine and onto the community itself was missing from the formulae.

In 2013 the implementation of community development initiatives was established in close consultation with all relevant stakeholders, with the primary purpose to improve livelihoods and employment opportunities and to establish new alternatives to lessen the communities’ reliance on the mine through micro-enterprise and SME development (Small and Medium Enterprise). It is intended that a partnership between the mine, the community, reputable local NGOs with suitable implementation capacity, and the government can take on the responsibility for development of essential human resources and social sector infrastructure, which is so sorely lacking in the area.

Mine closure at MYTCL is estimated to take place in less than 15 years, and it became obviously essential to prepare and implement an Integrated Development Action Plan immediately.

The plan would help build the planning and implementation capacity of MYTCL, inclusive of its sister mine MWMCL, and the communities represented. The plan addressed the long term management and useofrevenuesandotherpotentialbenefitsgeneratedbytheoperationofMYTCL,MWMCLandtheassociated MEHL.

It is also intended that the plan will establish a national prototype model for sustainable social and economic development of communities confronted with eventual mine closure and the loss of associatedemploymentandinfrastructure.Mineclosureposesdifficultsocial,economicandenvironmental issues for local populations which Wanbao Mining Ltd., the owners of MYTCL and MWMCL, and many other mining companies are trying to address. Successful implementation of the plan in the country’s largest mine would provide a valuable model which could be replicated in other projectsandwillcontributesignificantlytodevelopinggoodpracticeintheminingindustryonsustainable community development and mine closure. 8

• Provision of training to assist in creating partnerships between various organisations, Government Agencies, NGOs, target villages, and international aid agencies, and to build the capacity of MYTCL and its local constituents to implement selected projects.

• Development of a linkage between the mines, the community and the government.

On the basis of existing available information (comprehensive company environmental and social reports, government data, etc.) and using participatory methodologies to ensure ‘ownership’ by all key stakeholders, the following overall activities were initiated by MYTCL and MWMCL:

It is through the evolution of these activities that the CSD Team was formed. The key purpose of this team was for it to act as a unifiedcommitteeofdiversemembers,designedtoimplementthe plan and to act as the catalyst between all parties.

WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY – CSD TEAM

StakeholderengagementofficiallycommencedonMarch28,2013withalaunchingceremonyhostedby the Operational Development Manager and the Public Relations Managers from MYTCL and MWMCL with the newly appointed CSD Team in attendance. This was followed by a week-long training workshop of the newly appointed CSD Team, comprised of leaders representing villages near the project sites. Training consisted of; brainstorming exercises in which the CSD members shared with the group the main problems and concerns facing the villages they represented; conducted community mapping; and gained familiarity with the World Bank/ICMM/ESMAP Community Development Toolkit.

The Community Development Toolkit was adopted as the reference standard and guidance for the upcoming village consultations. A second round of training was conducted by the Public Relations Manager and the newly hired CSD Team Project Manager in late April. On April 24, MYTCL’s Chairman andManagingDirector,MrGengYi,sentalettertotheSagaingRegionalAuthoritiesofficiallyinformingthem of the CSD Program and requesting their approval, which was readily given. MYTCL subsequently approved the CSD program and formulated 10 Community Rebuilding Principles on which it would base its process.

1. Start where the people are.

2. Buildrelationships;thenintroducenewideas,showinghowtheymeetidentifiedneeds.

3. Keep projects simple.

4. Involve as many community people as possible in all activities from the start.

5. Train people close to their home communities.

6. Train in locally acceptable ways (e.g. methods, facilities).

7. Train trainers who can train others.

8. Involve local leadership.

9. Cooperate with governments.

10. Encourage interdependent relationships vs. dependent or totally independent relationships.

Over the course of 2013, the CSD Team worked closely with all the parties involved with community affairs and planning, and an intimate relationship was established between MYTCL and the communities within the region. Corporate Social Responsibility Projects (CSR) and Mobile Medical Care were immediate actions taken through the CSD Team, and villages began to recognise the value that MYTCL and MWMCL would bring to the region for long-term sustainability. Libraries, schools, educational assistance and investment funding, roadways and other much needed infrastructure and necessities, such as electricity and water supply, emerged through the public consultations conducted between the CSD Team, the communities and the government.


MOBILE MEDICAL TEAM AND HEALTH CARE

Under this program 35,332 patients have been treated in 2013, and a total of 48 villages. Within the Medical Care Program, there are 3 doctors, 6 nurses, 5 nurse aides and another 3 general helpers, totalling 17 members participating as a Mobile Medical Team. An Ambulance was also donated for emergency use for the local villagers, and another donated by MEHL for the Mobile Medical team use. From Monday through Friday the 2 Mobile Medical Teams can be found in a scheduled village, assisting with basic health issues and passing along information from the CSD Team works.In addition to the monthly group health seminars held at the Mine Town State High School, the health care staff members travel to villages to hold educational talks at the local schools and villages elders’ homes.TheyworkwithgovernmenthealthofficialsduringClinicDays,theyvisiteverypregnantwoman, every sick child under the age of 5, providing all with individual health care and education. These doctors and aides visit schools and homes to inspect sanitation and personal hygiene practices. Toilet conditions and drinking water supply are also inspected. As a part of the Nutrition Promotion Program, medical staff have been monitoring the weight of children under the age of 3 since 2003.Thesehealthcareactivitieshavebeenbothproductiveandbeneficialtoallofthecommunities.Helpingchildren and adults in communities and around the Mine-Site is allowing people to live healthier and within higher-quality environments.

MYTCL is always willing to extend a helping hand in making our world a better place.

TAILINGS RECLAMATION CSR PROJECT

The primary environmental impacts that are still present today at the S&K Monywa Copper Project are the result from past operations that have been generated from the legacy mine’s Concentrator Mill Plant Complex,andarerelatedtothehistoricalcontinuousdischargeofplanteffluenttoalocaldrainagefedthrough the lowlands to the Yama Stream and Chindwin River, documented in the Minproc/Ivanhoe Myanmar Holdings, Ltd. Feasibility Study of 1996. Theoperationsin1995maintainedacontinuousdischargeofconcentratoreffluentdischargedfromtheplant, and were released to a surface drainage on the north side of the complex and continued to the northeast through a locally constructed secondary processing area, past the Kangon Village and dischargedintotheYamaStreamapproximately1kmaboveitsconfluencewiththeChindwinRiver.Thedischargedeffluentwascapturedbylocalvillagersinshallowsoilimpoundmentsconstructedoveralargeareaofthevalleyfloor.Throughrudimentalprocessingmethodsthevillagerswereabletoreclaim a portion of the copper that was discharged from the plant. The on-going discharge and subsequent secondary processing activities have contaminated a large area north of the milling complex. Sediments accumulated in this area may be as thick as one to two meters, and extend over an area of approximately 50 to 75 ha.

Processing of the copper concentrate continues to occur inseveralofthevillageswithinaboutafivekmradiusofthe mine site. The processing is either conducted at a community based facility or within individual homes. Copper processing residues are widespread throughout the villages where most of the processing occurs, and evidence of copper contamination can be seen in and around most homes. Throughout the past decades, secondary miners (artisanal) have continued to extract copper from the residue and move the tailings from one location to another, in essence spreading the environmental dangers further into the villages.

In 2011, with the purchase of the S&K Project, offers of assistance to the local, regional and national authorities were extended from MYTCL to aid in the clean-up of this area. Although not responsible for the legacy errors in judgement regarding environmental contamination, MYTCL felt socially responsible to take action to protect the villagers with a Good Neighbour’s Policy, and letters were repeatedly sent by Management to authorities with little to no response.

In 2012, the Mine Minister, accompanied by Regional authorities responded with a visit and acknowedged the offer of assistance from MYTCL, however did not extend any assistance from government authorities. MYTCL was told that if they wanted to clean up the area, that they would have to directly engage the villagers and negotiate land settlements with them.

From 2011 through to the end of 2013, other areas where villagers requested, or agreed to allow MYTCL to remove the hazardous tailings from their villages, machines and representatives from the company were sent out and the waste was returned to safe storage facilities within the mine lease. In 2013, with the development of the CSD Team, more and more awareness was created regarding this waste and the detrimental effects it had caused to both people and the environment. Subsequently, more and more tailings were removed from neighbouring villages.The main artisanal area villagers of the area rejected all offers of clean-up.



In 2014, after recommendations from the Investigation Committee instructed that something be done regarding this disaster area, MYTCL was finallyrequestedtoassistthegovernmentwithmachinery and labourers to clean the main spill and disaster area located outside the lease boundary to the northeast and due east of S&K. MYTCL immediately responded and set into motion the largest CSR project undertaken by S&K Mine’s history.

An internal plan was developed to ensure that the efforts and funding donated by MYTCL are carefully expedited, and that clear objectives and responsibilities of all parties are outlined for future reference.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIESMYTCL assumed the responsibility, and has willingly agreed to offer assistance to the government authorities responsible for the Tailings Reclamation Project. MYTCL has agreed to provide (only) the necessary equipment, fuel, labourers and supervision of said machinery and labourers to be utilised by the government authorities responsible for the planning of the Tailings Reclamation Project. The Government will be responsible for all planning and land settlements, and will be also responsible for mitigating complaints and related issues to tailings removal.

On January 6th, 2014 the Government Assistance Tailings Reclamation CSR Project for Legacy ME1 Environmental Contamination began with MYTCL making a corporate donation to the region that would cover the span of more than 200 days of tailings removal and land rehabilitation, estimated at 1.95 million USD.

Closing Remarks from the SE Consultant

We hope that you have enjoyed our SHE Report for 2013 and the vision of our mandates and targets for 2014 onwards. This year’s collection and display of data, as well as the design of our report have taken on new life and inspiration in line with the development of our evolving business model.

MYTCL’s strategies and principles are based on commitment to responsible growth of our systems, which includes personal and individual attention to issues such as work safety and health, and the environmental protection of our Company. SHE management is always an integral component of our business process. As SE Consultant I am proud to state that MYTCL has managed to not only maintain the intensity of our development, but that we have also met the challenging increase in employee presence with little impact to our targeted safety goals.

We will maintain a zero accident strategy with regards to people, the environment and tangible assets. We will continue to accelerate our perfection of emergency planning for employees and incident prevention. We will not cease to adopt modern technologies and protective measures to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. And, we will never deviate from compliance with all relevant national and international laws and standards regarding our operations in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

Congratulations to our employees, contractors and casual labourers who have all been a part of this year’s success in demonstrating that MYTCL is a reputable and safe Company to be employed by.

Stay safe! See you next year!

U Than MaungSafety and Environment Consultant

The Safety, Health and Environment Report (SHE), by itself, is an important tool in analysing trends or changes that can positively assist in planning and progressive management. By using this SHE Report on a continual and annual basis as a per-formance indicator, we are able to highlight the crucial circumstances of the bio-physical environment and additionally present valuable information to develop monitoring systems for the implementation of policies, plans and programmes that deal with environmental, safety or employee health concerns.
