ESG Focus Areas

• Environmental sustainability
• Water conservation
• Respect for tribal and social issues
• Positive community impact

Environmental Achievements

• Aspires to showcase Nuton’s commercial viability while setting the standard for Positive Impact in the mining industry. A high visibility Positive Impact Project will bring Yerington to an even better post-mining state
• Leading environmental performance: more efficient water use and lower carbon emissions per unit of copper, and better reclamation outcomes by reprocessing mine wastes
• Delivering Clean Water to Mason Valley: Dewater Pit Lake with multiple beneficial uses BENEFITS LOCAL WATER RESOURCES
• Re-mining to Enhance Clean Up: Modern mine closure plan FULLY FUNDED RECLAMATION BOND
• Open pit heap leach projects: Cleaner, less expensive, faster into production LOWER OPERATIONAL RISK AND COST

Social Achievements

• Local Resource, Local Prosperity, Local Control: Integrated Yerington & MacArthur mines
• Community Support: Local mining experience, engagement with local, tribal, state and federal governments
• Community and tribal outreach

Governance Achievements

• Experienced Management Team & Board with a Proven Track Record and a Vision for Yerington
• Commitment to progress with integrity
• Open communications with all affected stakeholders
• Listen to stakeholder concerns & strive to incorporate them into our project

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Dewatering required to access copper resources (43,000 acre-feet)
• Potential resource expansion at Yerington
• District consolidation

Mitigation Strategies

• Beneficial uses for dewatered Pit Lake: Walker River, irrigation, aquifer recharge
• Drilling to expand and upgrade the Resource at Yerington and MacArthur to Measured & Indicated, and Proven & Probable Reserves
• Central Brownfield location as logical center for a hub and spoke operation
