IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020

NATIVE TITLE AREAS The Tropicana Operation is wholly within the area of the former Wongatha Native Title Claim (WC99/001), which was dismissed by the Australian Federal Court in 2007. Notwithstanding this, Tropicana continues to work constructively with the Traditional Owners. Further information on the operator’s engagements with the Traditional Owners can be found at www.anglogoldashanti.com The identification and preservation of Aboriginal heritage is fundamental to IGO’s approach to operating sustainably and our commitment to preserving and promoting Aboriginal history and culture. We respect Aboriginal people and their connection to Country. We manage our exploration and mining operations carefully and collaboratively to mitigate any impacts we may have on culturally significant sites. Our activities are subject to both Aboriginal heritage protection laws and heritage agreements with the Traditional Owners; the latter being a typical precursor to the grant of exploration tenements and a standard component of land access agreements. We believe that, in general, our activities can be completed with minimal disturbance to ethnographic sites. IGO has clear protocols and procedures around land disturbance and clearing. Aboriginal heritage surveys are one of the first activities completed as part of any greenfield exploration prior to any ground disturbance. The arrangements for the surveys are generally subject to agreement between IGO and the Traditional Owners. Such agreements define the survey methodology and the participants. We always engage local Traditional Owners to assist with surveys and to ensure the effective and culturally sensitive management of significant sites. In FY20, we coordinated multiple heritage surveys within the Fraser Range exploration project area, associated with our increased drilling activities. We funded and engaged the Ngadju people to complete these surveys, covering an area of 232,350 hectares in FY20. This work involved helicopter-based reconnaissance to identify major features of significance and associated no-go areas. This was followed up by on-ground surveys using Ngadju heritage monitors and Ngadju’s appointed archaeologist. During FY20, 26 significant sites were identified through work conducted by IGO. Our FY20 exploration activities and heritage survey plans for the Kimberley region and Lake Mackay Project in Central Australia were suspended during the reporting period in compliance with the temporary government-mandated lockdowns across those regions following COVID-19. We will resume our engagement with the Traditional Owners and completion of heritage surveys in this region when we deem it is safe to do so and the risk to these communities is negligible. IGO currently manage 570 mapped Aboriginal heritage sites across our operations and projects. Information regarding these sites is shared with the Traditional Owners, and where required in law, with the relevant government departments. Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act enables land users to seek consent to disturb Aboriginal sites if it is deemed such impact is unavoidable. In FY20, IGO sought no Section 18 clearances. Promoting Aboriginal culture A critical component of IGO’s ongoing commitment to preserving Aboriginal heritage and promoting Aboriginal culture is our cross- cultural awareness training. This training is undertaken by all IGO employees, in line with our land access agreements with the Ngadju people, coordinated in collaboration by Ngadju Elders and IGO. It provides our people with knowledge and awareness of Ngadju history and culture. Independently facilitated and co-presented by the Ngadju community representatives, its development is the result of much hard work from the Ngadju community. We appreciate the volume of historical and cultural information shared by Ngadju people. COVID-19 has put a hold on ongoing cross-cultural training for the time being, as we work towards protecting and supporting our local community members and Ngadju Elders from the impact of the pandemic by limiting our face to face exposure and engagement. In FY20 we restored a large artwork created by Valma Schultz, Ngadju Elder in the Norseman community and Traditional Custodian of the land in which we operate. Her artwork is proudly displayed on the concentrate shed at our Nova Operation, reminding our people of our strong relationships with the Ngadju people, their history, and their connection to Country. Valma’s artwork, titled Ngadju Marlpa (My Country), reflects her traditional connection to this land, its flora and fauna, and her memories as a child playing in the bush. Ngadju Marlpa is about the land and its colours and how the land changes throughout the seasons. It reflects Valma’s memories and the stories told to her by her Elders: ‘Ngadju Marlpa represents the Ngadju Traditional Story; Ghoolbirr (Grey Kangaroo), Tjila (Snake), Kaalungi (Goanna), Tjulaa (Father Emu). The large circles are Ularinya (Fraser Range) hills, the three smaller circles are Fresh (Mijal) Water Sites, the blue cream strip are Sky, Water and Clouds, the yellow orange strip are Kala (Fire) smoke, burnt landscape (Trees, Shrubs and Flora and Fauna), and the bottom strip are rockholes, hills, both fresh and salt water lakes and the regrowth of Our Land. The footprints represent Our People (Ngadju/Mulba) walking across the Ngadju/Mulba Country’.
