"is pleased to publish its annual Sustainability Report for the year ended December 31, 2025"
tailings management technical
"progress across safety, health, people and culture, community and social performance, environment, tailings management, and climate"
Tailings management is the handling, storage and long-term oversight of the leftover crushed rock, slurry and process water produced by mining and mineral processing. Like keeping a safe, contained landfill for industrial waste, it matters to investors because poor practices can lead to costly cleanups, regulatory fines, operational shutdowns and lasting damage to asset value and company reputation, while good management reduces financial and legal risks over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"committed to safely and responsibly maximizing the generation of Free Cash Flow from our operations"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer financial
"appointed David Bickerton as Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) effective April 1, 2026"
