    Romania Rosia Montana

    2,000 years of mining history with reports of upto 50 million ounces of gold produced, togetherwith significant silver and copper

    In the 5 years leading to EU accession in 2007,in excess of 500 mines were closed, with over200,000 jobs lost

    Romania is in the European Union;governed by EU rules and regulations

    Coalition Government(PSD/PNL) returned to power in

    December 2012 GeneralElection

    With the current GDP percapita among the lowest inthe EU, the Romaniangovernment may look toharness the potential of itsnatural resources

    Educated and skilledworkforce

    Located in a highly prospective mining district

    Rosia Montana has been mined for 2,000 yearsand most recently by the state until 2006

    Unemployment in the Rosia Montana region isapproximately 65% - RMGC employment hasbrought this number down from over 90%

    The Project will assist in the clean-up of pollutionfrom years of unregulated mining in the RosiaMontana region

    e tt g ocessThe Rosia Montana Project with annual production of >5M tonnes is deemed a project of national interest and as such has

    to be permitted at the National level

    Progress:

    Q3 2010 resumption of the Technical Analysis Committee (TAC) review of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

    2011 received Environmental Approval of the PUZ for the Industrial Project and Archaeological Discharge Certificate forCarnic (ADC #4)

    2011 TAC visits Project, TAC concludes all technical matters completed; await process confirmation

    X 2012 austerity protests; changes to Government; local council elections; presidential impeachment; general elections

    Q4 2012 Local referendum held: Do you agree with the resumption of mining in the Apuseni Mountain region andspecifically at the Rosia Montana Project? - 62.5% voted in favour

    Q4 2012 National elections held; landslide victory for USL providing a stable platform for government not seen in years

    Engagement with USL government to finalize permitting process; further TAC Meetings May 10th and 31st, 2013

    Next Steps:

    Completion of TAC cabinet approval of EIA issuance of Environmental Permit ratification by Parliament

    Completion of PUZ for the Industrial Project Area and Historical Area

    Once the Environmental Permit is obtained from the Romanian Government, and the PUZ are approved, in the absenceof any other extraordinary events (legal or otherwise) it would take approximately one year to:

    Complete the majority of outstanding surface rights acquisitions Receive the majority of other permits and approvals, including initial construction permits Finalise the project build details and advance financing for the project

    Following this, construction is estimated to take approximately 30 months

    Minister Delegate of Large Projects, Dan Sova:All what I can say now is that a political decision will be taken within the next two or three months, if it (the Project) would be

    implemented, or not1

    Prime Minister, Victor Ponta:If all environmental standards are complied with, if the Romanian state gets a much higher interest and if we collect royalties at

    European level, if the Romanian Parliament will decide, not only about that case, but also in the case of all mining exploitations,reopening of mines, creation of jobs, investments in the environment and so on, revenues to the budget, I think I will keep my promise

    to the people we create jobs, we preserve the environment and we obtain more moneythis is what I want to do.2

    Minister of Environment, Rovana Plumb:Anyauthorization of an investment requires an integrated environmental approval from the environment authorities. An integrated

    environmental approval cannot be approved, cannot be adopted without political debates. The Government will work transparently, but I

    repeat, in the form I took it over last year, the Project cannot be sustained. If the additional guarantees related to the environmental

    risks are observed, if the requirements regarding the benefits for Romania are met and if a new sustainable project is proposed, then

    we will discuss. Until then, the Government has made no decision.3

    Minister of Culture, Daniel Barbu:Lookingat the whole political-technical debate on cyanides, jobs, and I look at the monuments... What do I see? That, in a locality of

    300 houses, half have been restored on the money paid by the company...The underground; I have seen restored Roman galleries,

    including wooden devices recovered from the times of the Romans. The Romanian State has never had the necessary money to

    restore these. I say that from what I read on paper, I repeat; in addition I also read the opinions of both sides. I have seen a team of

    archaeologists led by a French woman who I understand is an authority in the field who preserved these galleries, some can be

    even visited, there is a museum with mining equipment used throughout time. What I see on paper does not seem discouraging in

    terms of heritage valorization.4

    Government of Romania:The Official Gazette Reported: The establishment of the new company is motivated by the Government by claiming that the projectoperating in Rosia Montana can generate operating revenues and direct contributions for the state budget estimated at several billion

    dollars, and can also be a major contributor to the recovery of the mining industry Romania and the creation of a significant number of

    jobs in an area, an area concerned by major unemployment.5

    Abandoned pits from previous unregulated mining remain open generating acid rock drainage discharging over 3m litres oftoxic effluent into the local water system every day

    The area is highly polluted due to lack of investment and soil contamination is a concern

    The estimated cost of cleaning up the legacy of over 2000 years of mining at Rosia Montana and regionally is multiplebillions of dollars

    If the Project is not developed the Romanian Government will be left responsible for cleaning up the environmental pollutionlegacies at a substantial cost to the state

    The Company has already begun investing in environmental reclamation in the local area through the implementation of a pilotwater treatment plant, that began operations in October 2011, as well as community clean-up efforts. The Project will bringmany additional environmental benefits to the area including:

    An ecological reclamation project to restore water systems and remediate the damage done to the landscape by priormining practices

    The open abandoned pits will be closed and planted or transformed into lakes; acid rock drainage will no longer occurProtection of biodiversity through the planting of four trees for every one to be cut down and all before cutting down the firsttree; the construction of ecological corridors to facilitate natural migration of animals due to industrial work; and the plantingof a tree line between the industrial and residential areas to mitigate the impact

    The State and RMGC will put a strong focus on fostering the sustainable economic, environmental and culturaldevelopment of the Rosia Montana community; community life and traditions are restoredRMGC has already demonstrated its commitment to continually help restore this mining community by hosting andsupporting social activities and awareness programs

    Sustainable development strategies (professional reconversions, business plans for post mining activities)

    An undertaking by RMGC to create an average number of 2,300 direct jobs (in RMGC and direct sub-contractors)during the Project construction stage and an average of 900 jobs during its operational stage out of which we expectthat the vast majority will be offered to the local workforce, who will benefit from skills training and education

    An undertaking by RMGC for sustainable development initiatives that will include the creation of new businesses forthe local communities while funding the restoration of infrastructure in Rosia Montana including roads, bridges,sewerage, water, electricity, communication networks, to ensure significantly enhanced benefits to the local community

    The Company is also committed to responsible community development in the resettlement site it built, Recea, thatwas inaugurated in May 2009 - Offering to the affected community modern living conditions and ongoing community

    support and employment in the resettlement site is one ofthe Companys key principles

    Wet grinding of the crushed ore in 2 ball crushers and one semi-autogenous mill;

    Leaching of the ore in a CN solution, in closed tanks; the CN solution dissolves the gold

    and silver from the ore.

    Gold and silver recovery from the pores of the activated charcoal, by acid washing: CNbound to silver and gold settles in the pores of the activated charcoal, which floats in thesolution from the leaching tanks. The coal is recovered by backwash pumping, and thegold and silver sludge is washed out from the pores with a HCl solution.

    Gold and silver recovery from the gold-bearing sludge by electrolysis; the gold-bearingsludge is purified/enriched through electrolysis.

    Gold/silver melting/casting in ingots the gold alloy is cast in ingots in an electric furnace.

    CN neutralization from the process tail ings before leaving the plant, using the INCOprocedure slurry oxidation in the presence of sodium metabisulfite and copper sulfate.The CN concentration is reduced as a result of the oxidation process.

    13 sites were reviewed initially

    Corna Valley is the only site which fulfils all requirements:

    Storage capacity;

    Favorable geology;

    Easy to exploit;

    Low environmental impact almost non-existentphreatic layer

    Designed capacity 250 million tonnes

    Necessary storage capacity 215 million tonnes

    Designed to resist earthquakes of 8 degrees Richter

    Designed to resist two consecutive rainfall events, whichcan occur once every 10,000 years

    Slopes generally 1.75H:1V to 2H:1V (RMGC 3H:1V)

    Final height 185 m + 20 m under the valley floor

    Length 1,182 m

    Secondary catchment dam 22 m

    NGI Report: The Norwegian Geotechnical Instituteconducted a risk assessment in order to assess the safetyof the tailings dam of the Rosia Montana Project. Theassessments took into account critical scenarios,including all possible ways in which the Corna dam couldfail in extreme situations, such as an unusually largeearthquake, which appears extremely rarely, and anextreme 24-hour rainfall. The conclusion formulated bythe report published in April 2009 was clear: as it wasdesigned, the dam will be among the safest in the world.
