All rights reserved. © Copyright 2012 Boart Longyear. 11 From the Chairman: “Clean enough to be your neighbor.” At Boart Longyear, that is our guiding environmental principle: we strive to contribute to the development of the communities in which we operate while minimizing impacts to their air, water and soil. In 2011, our Board of Directors approved a long-term environmental sustainability program focused on air quality, energy and water conservation, and the minimization of waste and hazardous materials. That initiative marks the first formal, global program to integrate the principles of environmental sustainability into all of the Company’s operations and to quantify and monitor improvement continuously. We’re proud of our efforts so far and invite our clients, shareholders and other stakeholders to learn more about our goals and watch our progress.

The use of water- based paints has reduced paint-related emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by approximately 33% (2.6 tonnes) annually. Equivalent to the emissions of 200,000 vehicle kilometers. © Copyright 2012 Boart Longyear. All rights reserved. © Copyright 2012 Boart Longyear. HVLP Spray Guns (SLC, Mississauga, Wuxi and Drilling Services Shops) Implemented use of high volume, low pressure paint spray guns at SLC, Wuxi and Mississauga for painting of percussive drill products. Eliminated about 40% of paint and paint thinner solvent use, and associated VOC emissions of 2.1 tonnes. Equivalent to the emissions of 160,000 vehicle kilometers. Mississauga Heat Treat Furnace Installed a high-efficiency electric induction heating coil system at the Mississauga facility, reducing annual natural gas consumption by 3.1 million m3 with a concurrent reduction of 7,000 tonnes of CO2e Greenhouse Gas emissions. Equivalent to taking 1,200 passenger vehicles permanently off the roads. 15 ENERGY AND WATER CONSERVATION Minimizing consumption of scarce and crucial resources.

Equivalent to the water required for more than 5,000 car washes @ 200 liters per wash.

Equivalent to the annual power consumption of 40 US homes. Last year the Mississauga plant replaced all of the lighting fixtures in the entire shop. The cost of replacing approximately 170 fixtures was about $45,000, and those new fixtures consume about 375,000 fewer kilowatt- hours (kw-h) per year than the old bulbs and fixtures. The power savings equates to approximately $3,700 per month in reduced operating costs. The utility provider in Ontario also had an incentive which paid for the majority of the project.
