The SEAT process has helped us in understanding our level of effectiveness in achieving our commitments and has assisted us in identifying more clearly some gaps�

We thank and acknowledge all community members, business owners, local government, schools, provincial government and employees for taking part in our SEAT process� We value the time and feedback you have given us�

This report provides summaries of Victor’s involvement in the communities, the current social and economic impacts of the mine and our social management plan which outlines how we will address these issues� We hope our communities of interest and stakeholders will find this report to be a true reflection of the key issues raised during the engagement process�

We welcome feedback on this report and we look forward to continuing and growing our partnership and relationship with our local communities�

James Kirby

General Manager, Victor Mine

It is with great pleasure that we present the Victor mine’s first Socio-Economic Report, prepared in accordance with the Socio-Economic Assessment Toolkit (SEAT), for 2011-2013� This SEAT report is a socio-economic assessment of progress at the Victor mine� Our goal is to:

• Improve our engagement,

• Manage our impacts, and

• Live up to our goal of contributing to the sustainability of the region�

This is a tool designed by Anglo American plc for use at all of their operating mines to help provide information to interested parties on progress in addressing socio-economic issues and delivering benefits to communities of interest� The requirement is for each operating mine to produce a SEAT report every three years� With Anglo American increasing its shareholding in De Beers in 2012, the requirement target was to have Victor produce its first report before the end of 2014�

Victor mine is De Beers Canada’s second mine in Canada and the first diamond mine in Ontario� As one of the largest employers and major stakeholder in the James Bay region,

De Beers Canada is committed to being a partner of choice to the communities in which we operate by ensuring that we enhance the social and economic opportunities as well as building community capacity within the local region� We are pleased to include feedback from our communities of interest to help monitor how we are doing in meeting the expectations of the communities where we operate, and outline our on-going commitments�

In July 2013 we were celebrated the fifth year of operations� In the mines critical first year of operations, we were able to pull together, make adjustments and emerge as a stronger operation in response to the global economic crisis of 2008� In 2012, we faced additional challenges as one of our key stakeholders, Attawapiskat, raised serious engagement and Impact Benefit Agreement concerns that required formal mediation at the end of 2013� While some issues continue to be mitigated, progress has been made in rebuilding and renewing the relationship with Attawapiskat� The operation remains fully committed to resolving all of the remaining issues and those presented in this SEAT report that demonstrate the Victor Mine’s contributions to the James Bay region in Ontario�

External stakeholders have acknowledged the efforts of Victor Mine in delivering the sustainable benefits to the James Bay region� In particular Victor Mine was recognized through:

• Achieving OHSAS 18001 Certification in occupational health and safety;

• 14001 Certification in Environment;

E X E C U T I V ES U M M A R Y This is the first report for the De Beers Victor Mine prepared under the Socio-Economic Assessment Toolkit (SEAT) process, which was developed by our De Beers Group parent company Anglo American plc�

A report prepared under the SEAT process is designed to provide a snap shot of the mine over a three year period� It allows for open and honest communications about some of the social aspects of Victor Mine with all our interested parties, including our communities of interest, government, employees and other key stakeholders� It also helps record progress towards creating more sustainable and successful communities where we operate� We use the information obtained from the report to assist us in developing actions to address identified gaps or deficiencies in areas we may be able provide input or support� The information gathered from this open communication also helps identify future expectations of everyone involved�

A short survey of our communities of interest showed that many people are unaware of what programs, activities and contributions De Beers has made through the construction and operation of Victor Mine to date� This report may help inform people about the various initiatives, partnerships and achievements� The survey also indicated

a number of areas where those most impacted by the mine believe that the company could do better and outlined some high level expectations� We see this input as an opportunity for continuous improvement, and in the months ahead will see how we can address the items raised� Some areas identified are beyond the capacity and ability of the company to resolve, while we do see other requests and recommendations where the company can assist and make a difference�

It was very encouraging to see the majority of respondents to the survey note the high priority of safety at the mine� Protection of our people, communities and the environment is the number one priority of De Beers� It is this fundamental priority that is being recognized by our communities that speaks highly of the work done by the team at Victor Mine�

In closing, the SEAT report process is undertaken every three years� This inaugural report has identified a number of opportunities for continued improvement that will actively be considered in future management plans at our Victor Mine�

I N T R O D U C T I O NThis report presents the findings of a study to assess the socio-economic impacts of the Victor mine� The study was guided by the Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) Version 3�

B A C K G R O U N DVictor Mine is an open pit diamond mine situated in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, approximately 90 kilometres west of the community of Attawapiskat, and about 516 kilometres north-west of the largest urban centre, Timmins� Operations commenced in 2008, and the mine produces around 700,000 carats of diamonds from about 2�7 million tonnes of kimberlite ore annually�

Victor Mine is De Beers Group of Companie's second mine outside Africa� It is an open pit centred on one of 18 kimberlite bodies in the area� The Victor ore body consists to two cone shaped intrusions that have a combined area of 15 hectares�

The cluster of kimberlites was discovered in 1988, and after lengthy exploration, construction of the mine commenced in February 2006 after receiving all the necessary approvals from provincial and federal governments� Commissioning of the process plant commenced at the very end of 2007 and the mine officially opened in July 2008� Because of Victor’s remote location, travel to site is only possible by airplane for all but about six weeks of the year, when a seasonal ice road is used to supply the mine with equipment, parts and other materials need to operate the mine�

Three Impact Benefit Agreements (IBAs) were negotiated with four communities of interest (COI) for the Victor Mine, namely Attawapiskat First Nation and Moose Cree First Nation while Fort Albany and Kashechewan First Nations share one IBA� A Working Relationships Agreement was signed with a lesser impacted community, Taykwa Tagamou Nation� The agreements formalize the items, methods and monitoring of social benefits a community will obtain from the operation�

R E P O R T S T R U C T U R E The first section of this report consists of an introduction to the SEAT process used by Anglo American sites around the world, including De Beers’ mines� It sets out the objectives and the approach applied, as well as identifying the communities of interest and stakeholders consulted during Victor’s SEAT process�

Victor and its local communities of interest are then profiled, followed by a section about the existing social management initiatives and key community investments made within our four primary communities over the period 2011 to 2013�

Finally, Victor’s current socio-economic impacts (both positive and negative) on these primary communities of interest are presented and the key social management focus areas for 2014 are outlined�

A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S Victor mine thanks our communities of interest, including the primary impacted Aboriginal communities of interest; Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, Kashechewan and Moose Factory, for their input� In addition, we thank the town of Moosonee, the City of Timmins and the provincial government of Ontario for their on-going support and participation in the preparation of this report�

Our appreciation is also extended to the members of the Victor team who collaborated to prepare this report�

Objectives of the SEAT process are:

• To identify key social and economic impacts and issues that need to be managed and, thereby, to improve risk management�

• To improve each operations understanding of the full range of local communities of interest and stakeholders� Their views and interests, and the dynamics between them and, thereby, to increase trust and goodwill�

• To assess existing community initiatives and identify where improvements might be made�

• To be a resource in developing and updating Community Engagement Plans�

• To provide an analytical framework through which operations can assess their contribution to sustainable development by, for example, balancing the extraction of natural resources through the enhancement of social and human capital�

• To facilitate the capture and sharing of “best practice”�

• To provide a planning tool for managing an operation’s social and economic impacts, including social investment and mine closure�

• To identify key performance indicators as a basis for tracking commitments for improving the management of each operation’s socio-economic impacts as the basis for local accountability�

There are seven steps in the SEAT process, as shown in the accompanying diagram�

A P P R O A C HThe primary communities of interest have been involved in community engagement since the commencement of the environmental assessment for Victor in 2003� Input from community meetings captured in 2011, 2012 and 2013 has been utilized in this report� Engagement with Attawapiskat First Nation one of the primary communities of interest was significantly reduced from mid-2012 until the end of 2013 while a re-alignment of the relationship took place� Community members were invited to participate in a survey to provide their opinions on how they perceive the relationship with the mine� It was apparent that some of the issues raised relate to pre-existing social issues, including, for example, acute deficiencies in infrastructure, social issues including substance abuse, sub-standard education, sub-standard healthcare and very high levels of unemployment coupled with a lack of opportunities related to the remoteness of these communities�

Those issues provided by the communities of interest have informed the company and allowed identification of:

• The positive and negative impacts of the mine’s operations on the four primary communities of interest;

• How the community priorities for key social management matters have evolved in these primary communities of interest over the period 2011-2013; and

• What social issues require management by the mine on an immediate and on-going basis�

Going forward, the General Manager, together with the Manager of Aboriginal Affairs and Sustainability, will be responsible for the on-going management, monitoring and reporting of the outcomes of the SEAT process�

The Victor Mine, through the Manager of Aboriginal Affairs and Sustainability, will periodically provide the feedback to its stakeholders on the SEAT findings and commitments made by the Victor Mine to address the findings�

One of the fundamental components of the SEAT process is the community consultation process� Communities of interest and stakeholders at various levels were consulted in order to identify concerns relating to the mining operation� For this SEAT report Victor Mine embarked on both in person and online survey collection to determine what members of the local communities thought about some of the socio-economic benefits of Victor Mine� While the survey was aimed at members of the Attawapiskat First Nation, Fort Albany First Nation, Kashechewan First Nation and the Moose Cree First Nation, it was open to all communities of interest and employees complete and a total of 651 replies were received�

It was apparent that some of the issues raised relate to pre-existing social issues, including, for example, acute deficiencies in infrastructure, social issues including substance abuse, sub-standard education, sub-standard healthcare and very high levels of unemployment coupled with a lack of opportunities related the remoteness of these communities�

There continues to be a lack of awareness and participation in consultation, as 52% of respondents did not know whether their First Nation had an Impact Benefit Agreement with DeBeers� For those that indicated they knew of benefits, they were asked “how effective do you think this help has been?”, 48�9% consider the benefits from the IBA to have been average, good or very good�

These results suggest that there is room for improvement in the effectiveness of communications about Victor and the various IBAs and programs� Deeper analysis of the results is in progress to look at the results by age group and by gender�

The survey questions are attached as Appendix 1 and the summary results are attached as Appendix 2� Going forward the General Manger, together with the Manager for Aboriginal Affairs and Sustainability, they will be responsible for on-going management, monitoring and reporting of the outcomes of the SEAT process�

The Victor Mine, through the Manager of Aboriginal Affairs and Sustainability, will periodically provide the feedback to its stakeholders on the SEAT finding and commitments made by Victor Mine to address the findings�

P R O F I L E O F T H E O P E R AT I O NVictor Mine is an open pit diamond mining operation� Kimberlite ore, after blasting to break the rock, is excavated and loaded into trucks and transported to a processing plant where the diamonds are extracted by crushing the ore and utilizing a number of gravity separation techniques� Final separation of the diamonds from other minerals is carried out in an x-ray machine� The final diamond product is then valued and exported to De Beers Group Sightholder Sales�

The Victor kimberlite consists of two adjacent intrusions, referred to as “Victor Main” and “Victor Southwest�” These two intrusions have a combined surface area of 15 hectares�

Operations commenced in 2008, and the mine produces around 700,000 carats of diamonds from about 2�7 million tonnes of kimberlite ore annually�

The mine draws power from the electricity grid via a transmission line from Attawapiskat that connects to the national grid line from Otter Rapids to Attawapiskat� This significantly reduces the volume of diesel fuel required to support the mine�

L O C AT I O N O F T H E O P E R AT I O NVictor Mine is located at latitude 52° 49’ 15” West, longitude 83° 53’ 00” North and is about 90 kilometres west of Attawapiskat� The Attawapiskat River lies a few kilometres to the north of the mine site� The site is within the James Bay lowlands, which are typical wetlands with extensive muskeg, and thin ribbons of trees along the banks of the main rivers and creeks� There are no permanent roads: access is by air using an airstrip at the mine� In the winter, there is a seasonal ice road that is open for about six weeks from early February to mid-March, and this is used to move bulk stores and large equipment to the mine site� Perishable goods and personnel are transported by air�

F U T U R E C A P I TA L I N V E S T M E N T S A N D E X PA N S I O N P L A N SThere are no immediate plans for future capital investment other than annual operating capital� Exploration and evaluation work is continuing on an adjacent kimberlite, Tango Extension, about seven kilometres from Victor to determine whether this could be an extension to the mine life once mining of the Victor kimberlite is complete�

The economics for Tango Extension have not been finalized and it is uncertain whether this will be a future mine� If the body is proved to be economic, it would still require an environmental assessment and full permitting to be completed by early 2018, together with negotiation of new agreements with our communities of interest before development could proceed� The overburden covering the Tango Extension kimberlite is much thicker than at Victor, and pre-stripping to remove this would likely take a minimum of two winters and more likely three winters to complete because stripping during the summer months is not practical�

E X I S T I N G C L O S U R E P L A N S A formal closure plan is a requirement from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines� The Closure Plan for Victor mine has been in place since the commencement of the Advanced Exploration program� The Closure Plan has been periodically updated since 2002�

The Closure Plan includes details for the removal of all equipment and demolition of all buildings and process facilities, the landscaping of the various rock piles and tailings facilities, removal of all wells, pipelines, hydro poles and cables and the reclamation of all disturbed areas including the roads and the airstrip�

Buildings, machinery, vehicles and oil tanks will be disposed of utilizing approved disposal methods� Where practical, assets will be sold and/or recycled�

All hazardous wastes will be removed from site and sent to government approved disposal sites�

All reclaimed areas will be re-vegetated using plants native to the area so that the site returns to a natural and productive state that is as reasonably similar to the original state as practical�

P R O F I L E O F T H E R E G I O NVictor Mine is located within the Mushkegowuk Territory, in the district of James Bay / Cochrane in northern Ontario�

The local area is determined by defining the zone of influence, specifically communities, towns and cities that are impacted in some way by the mine operations� There are six First Nation communities and one township in the primary physical impact area� Development of power infrastructure and transportation networks, along with logistics facilities make up the physical impact area� The local area extends further south to the city of Timmins, as this is the primary labour sending and money spending district� All communities were established long before the mine operations started�

The closest community to the mine is Attawapiskat, home of the Attawapiskat First Nation, located 90 km east of the operation� The communities of Kashechewan, Fort Albany Moose Factory and Moosonee are located further southeast, situated along the transportation route, which starts from Moosonee� Taykwa Tagomou Nation can be found where the rail line connects to the national rail network near Cochrane, Ontario�

G E O G R A P H I C A N D H I S T O R I C A L C O N T E X TCommunity engagement activities are undertaken with all COIs in the region; however dialogue is concentrated with the community of Attawapiskat� This is due to the mine operations being located within the traditional lands used by the Attawapiskat First Nation�

The Omushkego Cree, the inhabitants of the Attawapiskat, Kashechewan Fort Albany and the Moose Cree First Nation communities, were a nomadic people up until the mid-1900s, when they began to remain at their summer gathering places year round� Partly influenced by the Catholic and Anglican churches and the residential schools that had been erected in the area, people started to focus on employment activities and income generation that required them to remain in their communities�

These communities are all located at least 90 km or more away from the mine site, with Timmins being the furthest away at 535 km�

D E M O G R A P H I C S The population in the James Bay region is approximately 10,000 and is characterised as growing and very young� Between 50 and 60% of the population are under the age of 25, with average age in the region being 25� Most of the inhabitents are Omushkegowuk Cree, with a small transient population mostly made up of education and health professionals� The secondary source data for the population statistics are dated and come from various sources; census Canada, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, First Nation and other organizational websites� The

number of households in the area is estimated at 1,600 with an average of 6�25 people� The Cree language is the first language spoken in the communities of Attawapiskat, Kashechewan and Fort Albany� Moosonee and Moose Factory experience less Cree speakers� Unemployment in these communities is high, some reaching up to 80 per cent�

The closest city and people transportation hub of Timmins has a population of approximately 44,000� Timmins’ population experienced a slight growth of 0�04 per cent from 2006 to the 2011 census, with only 29% of their population being under the age of 25 according to the 2011 census� English and French are the primary languages spoken in the city, estimated at 55% for English and 37% for French� There is a growing First Nation population in Timmins with people originating from surrounding First Nations, however many of whom originate from the James Bay coastal communities�

S O C I O - P O L I T I C A L A N D G O V E R N A N C E C O N T E X T The governance structure on most First Nation communities consists of an elected Chief, Deputy Chief and Council members� This body of people governs the community programs such as education, social services, community public works, policing and health� All of the First Nations De Beers deals with through the operations adhere to this format�

The First Nations in the James Bay region belong to the Mushkegowuk Tribal Council, a regional political organization representing eight Cree First Nations� These First Nations are further represented by the Political Territorial Organization, Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), which represents 52 First Nations in Northern Ontario who belong to Treaty number 9� Nationally, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is the organized political body representing the 630 First Nation's communities in Canada�

V I C T O R M I N E

As one of DBCIs two operating mine’s, Victor Mine’s actions are scrutinised by communities of interest and stakeholders from a local, national and international level� The way in which the mine engages communities of interest and stakeholders, and responds to their issues will therefore have an immediate impact on De Beers’ reputation�

A considerable proportion of Victor Mine’s community of interest and stakeholder engagement in 2013 was geared towards the ‘Renewing the Relationship’ with Attawapiskat First Nation leadership as engagement with the general community was halted for the last half of 2012� In February of 2013 community members from Attawapiskat blockaded the seasonal winter road, which eventually required DBCI to obtain a temporary court injunction to open the winter road as a final step to prevent the temporary shutdown of the mine� This court action further extended the engagement standstill to the summer of 2013�

E C O N O M Y, L I V E L I H O O D S A N D L A B O U R F O R C E The local economy is focused on providing services within the individual Aboriginal communities, which are largely administered by their respective leadership (i�e� Chief and Council)� These services include public works, fire protection, medical services, education, and social and recreational services� Unemployment rates tend to be high (mostly over 80%)�

A number of community members participate in the traditional pursuits of hunting, fishing, and trapping� Traditional lands used by the communities are normally within traveling distance to their communities via boat, snow mobile and some by air� People travel along the James Bay coast and inland usually via the river systems�

The James Bay west coast communities of Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, and Kashechewan have economies and social structures similar to each other� Moosonee and Moose Factory, because of their links to the railhead, location of the regional hospital and other regional organizations enjoy many more employment opportunities; hence these two communities have enhanced and diversified their economies, compared with those of the more northern communities�

Timmins’ economy is based on mining and those small and medium size businesses that support mine operations, together with some forestry� Many of the mines suppliers are situated in Timmins, with some having negotiated joint ventures with First Nation businesses�

H E A LT H All communities experience high rates of diabetes, suffer from higher rates of addictions and deal with trauma associated with their residential school experiences� The communities have moved from a diet that consisted of mostly harvested foods to a more processed selection� Each of the COIs have a health centre in their community that provide health services that promote physical and mental health for community members and:

• Provides health awareness, education and prevention workshops and seminars

• Coordinates clinics in areas including Blood Pressure, Immunization, Sexual Health and Communicable Diseases

• Coordinates basic foot care sessions in individual's home or at clinic

• Offers a diabetic clinic

• Offers periodic services by a visiting dental hygienist

• Offers periodic services by an ophthalmologist, and

• Provides mental health counseling

The following programs are also offered:

• Aboriginal Healthy Babies Healthy Children

• Medical Transportation Program

• National Native Alcohol & Drug Abuse Program

Fort Albany and Attawapiskat each have a provincially operated hospital which provides Nurses on staff� Kashechewan has a clinic offering more limited services�

Moose Cree First Nation has a full service hospital originally built as the regional Tuberculosis center, and serves the Ontario portion of the James Bay region�

E D U C AT I O N Attawapiskat has a kindergarten school, an elementary school currently housed in portables, although a new elementary school is under construction and is due to be completed by the end of the summer of 2014� There is a secondary school which is temporarily closed for repairs until the spring 2014 after a flood� Attendance at school is sometimes an issue�

Fort Albany has a relatively new combined elementary and secondary school that opened in 2002� Kashechewan elementary school burned down in 2007� The school now consists of portables� St Andrew's Elementary School is an on-reserve school for students from K to Grade 7 and Francine J Wesley Secondary School provides a full-curriculum on-reserve high school for students from Grade 8-12�

Moose Cree First Nation has an elementary school and secondary school�

U T I L I T I E S , I N F R A S T R U C T U R E A N D S E R V I C E S These four Aboriginal communities all obtained running water and sewage prior to 1996 when Fort Albany was connected� Each community operates its own water treatment facility that replaced simple chlorination� Other amenities include, a medical facility, general store, electrical distribution centre, and primary and secondary schools�

Each community has different types of businesses providing additional services, yet they are similar in that each community employs a majority of their membership in their band office (local government), health centre and educational authority (including schools)�

Throughout the last three years, engagement with the COIs has identified both positive and negatives impacts� Positive impacts of the project include employment and business opportunities for local COIs, which extend beyond to the entire region� Adverse impacts include the out migration of community members from the COIs, job retention challenges due in part to people’s transition to the new ‘industry’ and perceived environmental and harvesting effects�

L O C A L E M P L O Y M E N T

In 2012, Victor Mine employed 102 individuals who self-identified as Attawapiskat First Nation members� The earnings of these 102 employees exceeded $3�4 million� Those employed worked directly for De Beers or their long-term service providers�

TABLE 6 – EMPLOYMENT BY FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITIES

*Total employed includes all those individuals employed in the full year, including De Beers and long-term and seasonal service providers (contractors).

Those employees working directly for De Beers were mostly employed in full-time positions, with a small number in either temporary or seasonal term positions� One person was employed in a temporary position that was at least one year in duration�

S E AT R E P O R T 2 0 1 3

C O I E M P L O Y M E N TThe previous chart and table show how the number of employees varies throughout the year� Contract labour also fluctuates, generally with more people employed in the winter months to construct and maintain the seasonal winter roads� The change in permanent employees also reflects a turnover of between 5% and 10% annually� This is a focus of attention and consideration is being given on how to reduce this number�

The IBAs signed with each of the COI communities include provisions for the training and employment of people from the neighbouring communities� De Beers has responded by the developing training programs to build people’s skills

Seasonal contractors providing services such as winter road construction or trucking of goods and fuel to Victor Mine further employ over 200 workers during the winter months each year� In 2013, 238 seasonal employees from the communities of Attawapiskat (77), Fort Albany (37), Kashechewan (28) and Moose Cree First Nation (47) were hired by short term service contractors� The breakdown for the Aboriginal employees by individual community who work for either De Beers or long-term service providers is summarized in the following table�

and to connect them to employment� From the years 2011 to 2013 the mine has consistently averaged an Aboriginal employment rate of over 40%� De Beers is very proud of its leadership position in the area of training and employment of Aboriginal people�

To ensure Victor Mine continues to maximize the employment of people from the nearby communities, De Beers has formalized their training and development programs into the Victor Employee Training Pipeline (next page)� The pipeline links skills development with on the job employment training and experience to create an employment acceleration program�

C O R P O R AT E S O C I A L I N V E S T M E N TDe Beers Canada Sustainable Development Strategy includes a corporate social investment (CSI) component, along with priorities that include Impact Benefit Agreement commitments and maintaining meaningful relationships with our community and government partners� Any activities supported must contribute “positively to the livelihoods of both present and future generations through the maximization of benefits from our operations”�

Furthermore, the De Beers CSI strategy aims to fund initiatives that:

• Contribute to capacity building and the development of transferable skills

• Reflect priorities of local people and communities

• Make a lasting contribution

Up until this past year, the focus of CSI investments were on education, literacy, skills development, the environment and cultural practices and enhancement in the communities� These priorities changed slightly in the last year and now include, education and training, small business, traditions and culture, green initiatives, and infrastructure�

Community Social Investment programs initiated by Victor Mine have been put into place through commitments made during construction and in response to community input� The recent roll out of SEAT will allow the operation to review our processes and assess new opportunities to improve our Community Social Investment programs in the future�
