Tacora is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating the climate change impacts associated with its operations. This commitment is supported by a strong governance framework that establishes practical, science-based targets, clear accountability, and continuous improvement in climate performance.

 To support climate change adaptation and emissions reduction efforts, Tacora is implementing a facility-level Climate Change Management System overseen by a centrally governed Steering Committee. This structure provides formal oversight while enabling operational departments to maintain accountability of relevant data and actions. Through this approach, Tacora is developing a long-term emissions reduction strategy focused on achieving a 10% annual reduction in GHG emission intensity by 2030.

 Tacora’s Climate Action Plan is focused on measurable emissions reductions and climate resilience through the following initiatives:

• Developing annual GHG emissions inventories to establish a baseline and track progress;
• Identifying opportunities where emission reduction measures are practical, effective, and achievable;
• Implementing technologies and operational improvements that increase efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower GHG emissions;
• Collaborating internally to align climate initiatives with evolving policies, regulations, and industry best practices;
• Regularly reviewing and adapting strategies as technologies, climate objectives, and operational conditions evolve;
• Engaging Communities of Interest (COIs) on climate-related risks, opportunities, and adaptation measures; and
• Publicly reporting on climate-related risks, adaptation actions, and progress toward emissions reduction objectives.

As part of Tacora’s Health, Safety, and Environment program, industrial hygiene plays a crucial role in protecting employee health and well-being. Workplace hazards, including physical, chemical, ergonomic,​​ and biological agents, can lead to acute injuries and long-term chronic effects if not addressed. Tacora focuses on proactively identifying, monitoring, and reducing these exposures to minimize risks and prevent occupational diseases.

The company’s industrial hygiene programs assess potential risks specific to operational areas and work groups, using the hierarchy of controls to mitigate exposures effectively. Comprehensive procedures and monitoring systems have been implemented  to manage and control these hazards,  ensuring a safer workplace for all employees. These efforts highlight

Tacora’s commitment to prioritizing  health and safety in all aspects of its operations.

Tacora is advancing a structured Biodiversity Monitoring Program at the Scully Mine to support proactive biodiversity management regulatory requirements. The program, developed in alignment with environmental approval conditions under the Scully Mine Tailings Impoundment Area Expansion Project, will establish a consistent framework to identify, monitor, and manage species at risk, species of conservation concern, and wildlife interactions within the Scully Mine Site.

The program will include three key components: a centralized biodiversity database, GIS-based habitat and species mapping, and a multi-species monitoring program. Monitoring will encompass vegetation, mammals, birds, bats, amphibians, and other representative wildlife species, with priority given to legally protected species, regionally significant species, and species with potential interactions with Scully Mine lease boundaries.

Through field surveys, passive monitoring tools, and spatial analysis, Tacora will establish baseline ecological conditions, evaluate habitat use, and track changes over time. The program will support adaptive management by improving understanding of biodiversity values within the Scully Mine landscape and identifying opportunities to reduce operational risks.

This proactive approach will transition biodiversity management from a reactive process to a comprehensive, science-based system that supports environmental performance, conservation planning, and alignment with Mining Association of Canada (MAC) Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) expectations.
