INDEPENDENCE GROUP NL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017

CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT From time-to-time, IGO engages contractors (as both businesses and individuals) to provide various services at our mine sites, exploration projects, warehouses and offices. When contractors are at an IGO site, their safety and welfare is IGO’s responsibility. IGO expects that our contractors provide their workforce with a safe system of work and a safe place of work. We expect our contractors to monitor and report on their performance, and that we see improved trends in measured outcomes. Put simply, we expect to see the same high standards that we expect of our direct employees, with no serious workplace injuries and a declining trend in minor injuries. Our major contractors have requirements in their contracts requiring their behaviour, and that of their employees, be consistent with the IGO Code of Conduct and Sustainability Standards. Our contractors are required to undertake a comprehensive program of IGO and work site inductions in order to develop a clear understanding of the requirements for working at our sites. All contractors working at IGO sites are provided with an IGO representative to manage their contract. This provides IGO with a direct opportunity to manage contractor performance. CUSTOMERS In FY17, IGO’s key customers were: • Perth Mint, ANZ, CBA and NAB, which bought gold produced from the Tropicana Gold Mine; • BHP Nickel West bought nickel ore produced from the Long Operation; • MRI Trading AG (MRI) and Trafigura bought both zinc and copper concentrate produced from the Jaguar Operation; and • Trafigura, Glencore and BHP Nickel West bought nickel concentrate from the Nova Operation. $8M CONTRACT WITH BUNDARRA 54 — IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017
