Introduction
difficult to prove and demonstrate. In short, for DPM, sustainability begins with the way we think, the way we behave as individuals and as a Company, and the way we operate. We understand that sustainability in the mining industry requires companies to have an enduring and robust business strategy that can deliver prosperity to all stakeholders over the long term. At DPM, we believe that this is achieved through a holistic approach to Corporate Responsibility, which is one of the Company’s four “Strategic Imperatives”—together with Effective & Accountable Organization, Core Business Excellence and Creativity & Innovation—embedded into all aspects of the business over the lifecycle of its activities. The entire foundation of the Company and its approach to corporate responsibility is built on six Core Values: Safety, Dignity & Respect, Environmental Responsibility, Community Investment, Continuous Improvement, and Transparency. These, together with the Strategic Imperatives support the Company’s brand promise: We Succeed Because We Care. Open Doors Day 2017 at the Chelopech Mine
Since the inception of Dundee Precious Metals (DPM) in 2004, we have always been cognizant of the impact of our activities on people, communities, and the environment and societyat-large. We recognized early on that there is a natural symbiotic relationship between the economics of the business and our social and environmental performance, and this has influenced our decision-making throughout the evolution of our corporate strategy, mission, vision and values. “Sustainability” is a notoriously difficult concept to define in the mining sector, is often fraught with controversy, and is even more

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2018
We are very well aware of our impact on the broader society and our contributions, albeit small, to global sustainable development. Recently, we have been mapping how our values, and ultimately, the outcomes of our activities, align with and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Throughout this booklet, you will see this alignment in action, with some concrete examples of what we believe to be our contribution to the SDGs. To solidify our approach and philosophy to corporate responsibility and sustainability, we have also recently introduced a new Corporate Responsibility Policy. This new policy reinforces and strengthens our integrated approach to managing our commitments
Our Core Values Safety
The health and safety of our employees and local communities are paramount and enable us to be in business. Safety can never be compromised.
Dignity and Respect and responsibilities across three broad pillars: Health and Safety, Environment and Social. Since 2011, we have been reporting annually on our sustainability performance and have demonstrated that DPM is a true leader in this field. This Sustainability Update further demonstrates how we are consistently and successfully translating words into actions. It shows the connections between our philosophy, strategy, mission, vision and values and the measurable outcomes of our on-theground activities. Our aim is to make a difference wherever we can, build a resilient business, be the best employer, a strong community partner and a steward of our natural environment. Our commitment is to deliver excellence in sustainability and to create value for all our stakeholders. This booklet is designed to be proof and a validation of that commitment. We hope you enjoy it and welcome any feedback or comments you may have.

DPM’s Contribution to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and Local In-Country Development At the 2015 United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development, seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted that aim to end poverty, protect the environment and promote prosperity by 2030. At DPM, we believe that the private sector has a vital role to play in achieving these goals. In our view, both the appropriate international and national policies together with the alignment of private sector business strategies and objectives are required if these goals are to be successfully achieved by 2030. For DPM, this means that we need to be aware of and understand how our everyday business activities impact society as a whole. This, in turn, influences how we think about occupational and community health and safety, environmental protection and stewardship, social wellbeing, and sustainable business development throughout the entire business cycle, including closure and post-closure. DPM’s contribution to a sustainable future is achieved by ensuring that: we continue to innovate; build strong and trust-based partnerships with our stakeholders; meaningfully engage with communities in ways that support and care for local livelihoods; protect and nurture the environment; and make paramount the health and safety of our employees and communities where we operate. We have placed the SDG symbols on stories where Dundee Precious Metals’ contributions are relevant. The meaning of each of these symbols is explained at right on this page.

Proud of My Parents’ Work
A team of company geologists introduced them to their profession. The children learned about volcanic activity and the origin of minerals. They were able to draw their own orebody model and use a magnifying glass to have a closer look at the textures of the Chelopech rocks. Experiencing the interactive mine decline model gave the children the sense of what it is like to work in an underground environment. Putting on Personal Protective Equipment focused them on the importance of safety and compliance with rules so that everybody goes home safe and healthy every day. One profession that generated particular interest was that of the mine rescuer. The practical exercise of putting out a fire and the chance to look in the proprietary ambulance and fire truck added more understanding of the work and responsibilities of the people who were committed to helping others. Children visiting our Chelopech mine during the “Proud of my Parents’ Work” day
Dundee Precious Metals Chelopech took part in the UN Global Compact Network “Proud of My Parents’ Work” project, for the first time, on Revival Leaders’ Day. Fifty-four children visited their parents at their workplace and had the chance to see some of their parents’ duties and feel the spirit of community and camaraderie at their workplace. The children were split into two groups and played in group exercises on various themes in which they learned where the precious metals came from, how they were mined, how many different jobs and professionals must come together to get the work done and convert the solid rock into mineral concentrates.

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2018
One of the children radioed his father, who was doing his shift in the mine. Thanks to the IT technologies and wireless networking that have been implemented in the mine, the child had a video and telephone connection with his father underground. Another child saw his father off to work and wished him a good and safe shift in the mine. He walked with his father to the shift briefing and then to the change room and the lamp room—the everyday routine of every mine worker at shift start. The enthusiasm of the children, their emotional reactions and smiles turned an otherwise normal workday into a holiday for all company employees and visitors.
Aligning with Dundee Precious Metals Core Values The children were actively and emotionally involved and very excited to share their positive experience from a day in a mining company and were even eager to start work in the mine the very next day.

The main purpose of this project is to demonstrate to children that the role of labourer is essential and every worker is important and valuable to society, regardless of their profession.

Coats for education
According to Mr. Nekundi, the initiative to donate raincoats came after a Dundee employee, driving to work on a rainy morning, witnessed children who had been soaked running through the rain on their way to school. Although the students had been drenched by the rain, it did not dampen their spirits and they had smiles on their faces as they continued their journey to school.
Good health is possible when people are surrounded by communities that support their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Students at Ondundu Primary School show their raincoats
Students at Ondundu Primary School can now attend classes regardless of the weather as the school received raincoats from Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb. Attending the event was Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb Social Performance Senior Manager, Isai Nekundi; Oshikoto Regional Councilor for the Tsumeb constituency, Honorable Lebbius Tangeni Tobias; representing the Mayor of Tsumeb, Cllr. Ingenesia David; The Oshikoto Circuit Inspector, Gottlieb Gee Shikongo; Ondundu Principal Juliane Nakale; teachers and students.

Nekundi praised the learners’ determination to receive education. “Your determination to get to school and get your education despite the circumstances is nothing less than admirable. As a responsible corporate citizen, Dundee firmly believes in the importance of education for the development of our nation and for the overall benefit to humanity” he said. “The quest to educate each Namibian child is everyone’s and not only the government’s responsibility. We can all play different roles in the mission to ensure learners receive the best education on our watch. We can all contribute in building a better and educated Namibia” he added.

Nekundi concluded by wishing the students well on their examinations, a great academic career and thanking the Ondundu management team for accepting DPM’s gesture on behalf of the students and recognizing the importance of a need that is overlooked by many. Oshikoto Regional Councilor for the Tsumeb constituency, Honorable Lebbius Tangeni Tobias, thanked Dundee on behalf of the Tsumeb community and commended them for responding positively to the President’s call to build the country together.

Crops for a better tomorrow
The project was implemented by a team of experts from the University of Forestry in Sofia, in cooperation with staff from the DPMC Environment Department. The project also provides for the hiring of unemployed people under joint social programmes implemented by DPM and the Municipalities of Chavdar and Chelopech, as well as cooperation with local companies. Experimental plots in the area of the DPMC TMF were set up to conduct planned field tests. Land plots imitated TMF post-closure soil conditions, following rehabilitation by applying different methods. Field tests were conducted on a five decare area.
Land reclamation in progress at the TMF
The project’s objective is to consider various scenarios for the reclamation of disturbed land within the footprint of the DPM Chelopech (DPMC) Tailings Management Facility (TMF); reclaim it for agricultural use; identify opportunities for adapting certain essential oil species, enable them to grow on reclaimed land and achieve an economically feasible harvest; recommend plant species that would grow best on reclaimed land, retain their quality and demonstrate that this land can be used for agricultural purposes once it has been reclaimed. This six-year project commenced in 2011 and ended in 2017. Its concept and objectives were aligned with DPM’s policy for environmental protection and sustainable local development.

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2018
To ensure the quality of conducted tests, as early as the planting phase, the test field was separated into two areas—with and without irrigation. A drip irrigation system was installed in the irrigated area. Both plots were planted with lavender, peppermint, red geranium, common balm, and sage. The plants were grouped by type, and each individual area was divided into a limed and non-limed section, in order to monitor plant growth at different soil acidity levels. The growth and development of essential oil and industrial crops were monitored and analyzed annually. The project team analyzed the winter time behavior of plants, soil water quality parameters, soil and tailings quality parameters, electrical conductivity and pH. Plants were sampled for assaying in order to establish absorbed elements. Biometric tests of plants and produce were also conducted. Project results will be used to prepare future designs and plans for closure and rehabilitation of the DPMC TMF. Based on the conducted research and field tests, once rehabilitation is done, the

local community will have the opportunity to use the land for the commercial cultivation of suitable industrial crops. In addition, the project was a chance for approx. 150 students from the University of Forestry and the University of Mining and Geology to see some practical ways of using industrial crops for the bio-remediation and rehabilitation of lands disturbed by mining operations.
Environmental Responsibility Thanks to the implementation of this project, we will be able to choose the best rehabilitation method for the DPMC TMF and give the local community opportunities to use reclaimed land in a sustainable manner.

We expect you to thank us by working hard, doing your homework and most importantly respecting your teachers,” Mr. Nekundi said. “Education is not exclusively government’s responsibility; we can all play different roles in the quest to ensure that students receive the best education on our watch. Both government and the private sector can contribute in building a better and educated Namibia” he added.
Education for our employees and the community continues to be a focus at all our sites.

Students at Berg Aukas Primary School received a donation of 283 school uniforms from Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb.
According to Mr. Nekundi all Namibian citizens are equal shareholders in education and should ensure that every child is afforded an opportunity to study in the most dignified manner that will inspire them to become better citizens who will strive to change the world.
Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb Senior Manager: Social Performance, Isai Nekundi reiterated DPM’s commitment to Namibian education and the Harambee Prosperity Plan’s aim of strengthening educational institutions.
Berg Aukas School Principal, Racheal Hangara-Uariuavi thanked Dundee for their contribution to the school. “We will do our best to ensure students are equipped with the necessary skills that will make them productive citizens of the Namibian country” she said.

Developing future leaders
The objective of the Academy was to help participants acquire the necessary competencies (knowledge, skills, behaviour and understanding) to manage their teams successfully. This was achieved by holding a series of courses on diverse themes, scheduled four to six weeks apart and continued for one or two days. The courses included standard type instruction and behavioral simulations, in which the participants learned through experience. A key component was to ensure knowledge retention. After each theme, the participants were given tasks and exercises to practice at their workplace. The results and feedback were discussed at special half-day progress monitoring sessions. The programme included two main fields. Each field had four different training themes. 1. I ACHIEVE results individually n Roles and key management functions n Communication skills n Time management

Respecting our shared resource
The facility is of great importance for the environment and people’s health. The setting up of these types of facilities is in line with the objectives and measures stipulated on a European, national and regional level, as well as with Water Management and Conservation Plans. The facility upgrades water quality not only for the Chelopech Municipality but far beyond regional boundaries; the ecosystems, biodiversity and people’s health all benefit from enhanced water quality. The applied technology of waste water treatment features a mechanical and biological circuit. A chemical circuit can also be included if waste water decontamination is needed.
The new waste water treatment facility at Chelopech
A new waste water treatment facility was launched in 2017 at Dundee Precious Metals Chelopech. The facility is of a modular type and designated for domestic effluent. It is another milestone in DPM’s commitment to environmental safety. The new modular facility provides highly effective treatment of domestic effluent up to a quality suitable for safe discharge. The plant’s capacity has been designed in view of the number of people employed on site.
26
DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2018
The first step of the mechanical treatment is to remove roughly dispersed and mineral substances. In the biological circuit, which is the actual treatment per se, waste water is subjected to anaerobic and aerobic treatment to remove major type of pollutants, i.e. organic carbon and organic, inorganic compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus. Specific microorganisms use these compounds throughout their life cycle as a source of energy, thus removing them from effluent water in the form of harmless inorganic compounds —carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen and excess sludge. This process imitates the one taking place in natural ecosystems. Waters are cleaned from pollutants, which ensures minimum negative impact upon their discharge into the environment.

regional boundaries. The facility was officially commissioned on March 22, 2018, coinciding with the 25th celebration of the World Water Day. Alexi Kesyakov, Mayor of Chelopech; Pencho Gerov, mayor of Chavdar; Sebihan Mehmed, mayor of Krumovgrad; representatives of Chelopech and Krumovgrad Municipal Councils and REWI-Sofia and project subcontractors attended the event. Wastewater treatment speeds up the natural processes by which water is purified making it suitable for us to safely discharge it into the natural environment.

As a result of conducted field research, the drafted EIA reports, the collaboration with biodiversity experts and impact mitigation discussions held with a wide range of stakeholders, Dundee Precious Metals Krumovgrad committed itself to protect the environment and reduce the project’s negative impacts by implementing a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). Environmental protection measures implemented by DPM go beyond the requirements of national legislation and build upon the performance requirements set out by the EBRD and international best practices.
Newly planted trees in the Ada Tepe area
The Ada Tepe deposit is located in a protected natural habitat of wild flora and fauna and includes the Krumovitsa River, which is a protected area under the EU’s Birds Directive. There are two globally endangered tortoise species, Testudo hermanni and Testudo graeca, whose habitat falls within the footprint of the Ada Tepe license. As part of the overall Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), any potential project impact on the environment, as well as proposed environmental protection and impact mitigation measures at all

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2018
In November 2017 DPM planted fruit trees and shrubs as an additional source of food for tortoises in the Ada Tepe area. Water shortages and dry grass in the months of July and August could be partially offset by the presence of fruit for the tortoises to feed on. Fruit trees also have a positive impact on local biodiversity and the density of bird and mammal populations in general. A total of 9 plots, prepared in advance, were successfully set up to help feed tortoises by planting forest-fruit vegetation in the region of the relocation. To further increase the success of the available afforested plots in the area of the Ada Tepe mine site, a total of nine plots of 2.5ha each were chosen next to existing water sources or natural catchments and apples, peaches and cherries were planted in the open areas. Selected polygons located in forest habitats were cultivated with sorb tree (Sorbus domestica) and cornel tree (Cornus mas) saplings. Shrub and semi-shrub vegetation planted in more open areas along

the edge of the forest include blackberries and raspberries. A total of 324 trees and bushes were planted in the area.

In addition, 93 key spots for tortoises in the Ada Tepe area were mapped out during the project preparation phase, namely places for building stone thresholds (micro water reservoirs), watering places, existing fountains, wells and draw-wells.

commitment to sustainability. Testudo hermanni is one of the tortoise species near Ada Tepe
To help preserve the two tortoise species, DPM plans to engage local residents as volunteers in the fight against poaching, organize regular meetings with them and carry out spot checks in the Ada Tepe area to establish potential cases of poaching.
Aligning with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
The desired outcome is to anticipate specific measures to reduce the loss of tortoises, stabilize population density, improve habitats, restore tortoise population status and monitor related activities. Sorb trees are just one example of the vegetation planted for positive impact on local biodiversity

Uncovering our cultural past
The exhibition aims to show how the eastern parts of the Balkan peninsula were the crossroads for the exchange of ideas, technologies and raw materials, representing all main cultures of the ancient world and in particular of Bulgarian lands as an important source of raw materials in the Bronze Age. DPM played a key role in the exhibition’s organization as it started with the archaeological surveys on Ada Tepe near Krumovgrad, which were initiated in connection with DPM’s plans to develop the Ada Tepe gold prospect. DPM’s commitment and readiness to assist with the study and conservation of local cultural finds, allowed the archaeological project to find international partners from Vienna University, turning Ada Tepe into the best surveyed archaeological site in Bulgaria. Based on these findings, the archaeological team in charge of the comprehensive surveys in the area came up with the theory that this used to be the oldest gold mine in ancient Europe. The project made Ada Tepe and Krumovgrad known to more than 100,000 people who visited the exhibition in Vienna. Archaeological finds from the Ada Tepe site
Gold and bronze: metals, technologies and contacts in the Eastern Balkans during the Bronze Age The exhibition “The First Gold. Ada Tepe: Europe’s Oldest Gold Mine” was first exhibited in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in March 2017. Following its successful debut, a second, extended exhibition entitled “Gold and bronze: metals, technologies and contacts in the Eastern Balkans during the Bronze Age”, was officially opened on October 25, 2017 at the National Museum of Archeology in Sofia.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna struck gold with its choice selection of artifacts found at the ancient Bulgarian site of Ada Tepe, Europe’s oldest gold mine. With 2,241 visitors a day, it was the most popular antiquities show of 2017.”

Small businesses take off
Overall 80% of SMEs make good progress in the first year of operation and 30% become self-sustainable while creating one or two additional jobs. 5% supply or provide services to local businesses in Tsumeb such as retail stores and schools. The SMEs face challenges as rental spaces can be unaffordable and some business are seasonal which requires the owners to operate their businesses on a part-time basis to allow them to work in other industries. There is also a lack of experience and skills to secure contracts. The training and mentoring programme provides business management training to SME owners. Trust funding is also provided to health, cultural and arts initiatives and social empowerment projects.
