Performance Data

BASIS OF REPORTING

All financial information is presented in US dollars except where otherwise indicated. All operating data is reported using the metric system. Some metrics are reported on both an absolute basis and an intensity basis against kilotonnes of metal processed. Safety data frequency rates are measured per 200,000 hours worked.

DATA MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

Data is measured or estimated, and operations are asked to explain significant deviations in year-over-year trends. The performance data is reported at a mix of operational and corporate levels. Data is checked and approved at the site level, and also reviewed for consistency by the corporate data collection team.

We provide safety and environmental incident definitions so that all operations report incidents consistently. We calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions using published factors for emissions.

Most of the performance data for water and energy is metered. We purchase most of our electricity from local grids. Utility grid statistics are therefore used to compile purchased electricity-related GHG numbers. We generate electricity at some of our project sites (such as Constancia and Reed) and this energy is reflected in fuel consumption, while GHG numbers are calculated based on conversion factors.

Data for the indicators is collected and compiled using information submitted by each site on a standard template. We provide instruction and criteria for GRI G4 and Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), and also supply a GHG emissions worksheet (developed by the Mining Association of Canada).

Particulate 0.1622. The large change in particulate matter released is due to a number of reasons across our business units, including:
1) A recalculation of road dust at Lalor resulted in increases in particulate matter emissions;
2) In Flin Flon, ore haul has moved from a longer paved road to a shorter unpaved one, doubling the road dust at the site;
3) Methodologies required to calculate particulate matter in Arizona are different.
