Tri-K Project On October 7th 2016, Managem established a partnership agreement with Avocet and Elliot. The Tri-K Project is a gold mining project located in the Prefecture of Mandiana in Guinea. The project was initially developed by the company Avocet Mining, with an investment of 39 MUSD in research and feasibility study. This was then followed by the signing of a mining convention on December 19th 2016, between the Guinean state, Managem and Avocet Mining. Throughout 2017, a feasibility study will be completed in order to confirm the presence of reserves, which are estimated to reach 1 Moz. The start of the construction shall then begin early 2018.

RISK MANAGEMENT The Risk Management policy within Managem aims to provide a framework for the identification, evaluation and and management of risks. It also ensures the improvement of the decision-making process. With such a policy, Managem Group works towards protecting its human, physical and intangible assets as well as its added-value areas. The Risk Management process is an integral part of the control environment of the group according to the COSO principles (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) and compliant with internal audit and control. The Audit and Risks Committee, mandated by the Board of Directors, ensures a regular review of the management, integrity and independence of the risk management body.

Risk Management Restructuring 2016 marked the redesigning of the risk management model as well as an internal modification of its content. This new model was based on the identification of risks through two different scopes (Top-Down and Bottom-Up), while adapting to the examined areas. In that respect, each risk is determined, evaluated and depending on the appropriate indicator. This restructuring was also marked by a shift from a qualitative risk assessment conducted by experts to a quantitative risk assessment through the group’s scientific tools and methods adapted to the Internal Audit: Efficient Lever audited parties and to facilitate the implementation scopes dealt with. n for Aid to Decision-Making of appropriate plans of action.

After initially extracting and recovering Gold, AKKA GOLD MINING currently produces copper from the Copper deposits of Agoujgal, Tazalakht and more recently (2016) from the Ouanssimi mine, Mine de Akka which will make it possible to reach a production level of 300,000 tonnes per year in the medium term.

CTT (Compagnie de Tifnout Tighanimine) Established in 1928, the Tifnout Tighanimine Company is based 120 kilometres south of the town of Ouarzazate, Bou-Azzer, and is the oldest mine owned by Managem. Its activity

includes research, exploitation, and treatment of primary Cobalt. It operates the Bou-Azzer mine Mine de and supplies the hydrometallurgical plants of Guemassa (Cobalt) for most of their supply of Bou-Azzer concentrated cobalt or Cobalt halides. At the Guemassa industrial complex, CTT carries out the valuation of certain minerals by hydrometallurgical processes through two channels structured around seven operating units: “Metal” (Cobalt, Arsenic, Nickel hydroxide and Copper sulphate) and “Metallic Derivatives” (Zinc oxide, Gold and Sulfuric acid).

SOMIFER (Société Minière de Bou-Gaffer) The SOMIFER Company operates the Bleida mine, located on the eastern part of the Bou-Azzer depression. In 1997, following the depletion of the Bleida Copper deposit and the price

Mine de Bleida collapse, mining activity was temporarily halted. As a result, the workforce was dispursed to other operating sites. However, the Company continued mining research and exploration activities that resulted in the development of a Gold deposit that was transferred to CTT. Currently, SOMIFER operates the Jbel Laasal Copper deposit.

STRENGTHENING of HEALTH and SAFETY CONDITIONS

The safety of Managem’s employees at worksites is at the same time a fundamental ethical requirement and one of Managem’s primary performance criteria. Thanks to a safety programme and management system certified under the OHSAS 18001 standard, Managem has been able to reduce the number of accidents on its sites by more than 25% over the last 5 years.

Changes in the number of accidents between 2012 and 2016 To have better control of the hygiene, safety and health risks associated with its operations, Managem has formalised its own policy and practices in this area. Safety being the top priority for the group, a proactive approach is used at all sites. -21% In this context, Managem started an ambitious programme in 2016 to monitor the exposure and OF ACCIDENTS risks of biological contamination of the group’s workers.

2016, MANAGEM’S YEAR of CONSECRATION at the COP22 The organisation of the COP22 in Morocco in 2016 was an opportunity for the group to reaffirm its proactive strategy to minimise its environmental impact and its real commitment to sustainable development, in line with the commitments of its main shareholder, the SNI (National Investment Company). This large-scale event facilitated connections with local communities through their involvement in consultations to develop strategies for adapting to climate change and its repercussions, particularly on water resources.
