We strive to earn and retain the trust of shareholders through a steadfast commitment to sound and effective corporate governance. Our governance practices reflect the structure and processes we believe are necessary to improve Company performance and enhance shareholder value.

Our Board of Directors consists of 12 directors, of which all but two directors are independent from management. It discharges its responsibilities either directly or through five committees – the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainable Development Committee, and the Technical Committee.

The Board recognizes that diversity is important to ensuring that the Board as a whole possesses the qualities, attributes, experience and skills to effectively oversee the strategic direction and management of the Company. It recognizes and embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board, and has identified diversity within the Board as an essential element in attracting high calibre directors and maintaining a high functioning Board. It considers diversity to include different genders, ages, cultural backgrounds, race/ethnicity, geographic areas and other characteristics of its stakeholders and the communities in which the Company is present and conducts its business.

The Board has not set any fixed percentages for any specific selection criteria as it believes all factors should be considered when assessing and determining the merits of an individual director and the composition of a high functioning Board. The proportion of women is currently 33% (4 of 12).
