The TSM Gold Leadership Award recognizes mining operations that achieve Level AAA – the highest possible rating
– across all applicable TSM performance indicators, as verified by independent external auditors. The Lamaque
Complex earned Level AAA across its applicable indicators, reflecting excellence in the operations sustainability
practices. Only five other facilities have received this recognition to date, and this is the first time it has been awarded
since 2020.
“Receiving the TSM Gold Leadership Award for our Lamaque Complex is a tremendous honour for Eldorado Gold,”
said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our employees and our
unwavering commitment to responsible mining in Québec and across our global operations, where TSM protocols
are applied as a matter of practice under Eldorado’s Sustainability Integrated Management System.”
“This award belongs to our entire team, as well as our local partners and communities of interest who help guide our
work and decisions,” said Sylvain Lehoux, Vice President, Canada. “This recognition reflects the care our employees
take every day to operate safely, ensure a healthy environment, and work collaboratively with our local communities
of interest. This was a multi-year journey that began at the earliest days of the Lamaque mine.”
TSM performance is externally verified on a three‑year cycle and evaluated against rigorous environmental and social
standards, including climate change, water stewardship, tailings management, Indigenous and community
relationships, safety and health, biodiversity conservation, and crisis management. Eldorado applies TSM protocols
across all of its global mining operations, including Canada as a mandatory requirement of membership in the Mining
Association of Canada.
“The Gold Leadership Award represents the best of the best when it comes to exemplary responsible practices and
strong commitments to environmental and social performance,” said Pierre Gratton, MAC’s President and CEO. “Our
industry has a particularly impo rtant role to play in ensuring that the minerals and metals needed for the economy,
national security, and the technologies we rely on are readily available, and it is essential that they are produced to
the highest standards in the world, including through TSM.”
TSM is embedded in Eldorado’s Sustainability Integrated Management System (SIMS) , which provides a set of
company-wide sustainability standards that establish minimum performance requirements for the management of
health, safety, environment, social performance and security. First launched in early 2021, SIMS was developed in
alignment with internationally recognized standards, including TSM. SIMS is regularly reviewed and updated based
on evolving standards, and is seen by the Company as a critical tool for driving its sustainability performance.
In addition to the award recognition from MAC, the International Cyanide Management Institute announced last week
that the Lamaque Complex has been certified in full compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code, a
voluntary industry program dedicated to the safe and environmentally respo nsible management of cyanide used in
gold and silver production.
