Strategic Focus Areas

There are five key pillars to the business strategy that will assist in meeting our delivery targets.
People are the business

Providing the leadership and the supporting management processes to ensure that we have the right people, in the right roles, doing the right work, to deliver against our goals.

Maximize margins

Managing revenues to ensure that full value is realized from our products by delivering a quality product and managing costs to protect margins and returns on capital employed.

Manage the business as an asset portfolio

Optimizing asset and project portfolios to meet or exceed specified rates of returns. To achieve this, each asset is regularly reviewed and ranked in both absolute terms and relative to its peer group.

Grow the business

Developing a range of options for growth, including Greenfield and brownfield exploration, new opportunities for promoting organic growth, value-accretive merger and acquisition opportunities and maximizing the value of commodities other than gold within our portfolio.

Embrace sustainability principles

Developing business and social partnerships based on mutual value creation, while maintaining a focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of employees and managing environmental and other impacts.

Our Management Framework

The Project ONE management framework developed internally is being applied consistently throughout the business in the support of achieving the broader strategic objectives. At its core, the framework is designed to reduce variability in performance and support a seamless flow from strategy to delivery. This framework prescribes strong leadership, considered role description, appropriate resourcing to the task at hand, well-defined and documented business processes in all areas, clear accountability and consistent analysis and improvement of work undertaken.

Underpinning this framework is the firmly held conviction that we must consistently create and sustain value into the future. To achieve this, our approach must acknowledge broader societal concerns – namely, developing natural resources in environmentally-sensitive ways, while delivering an equitable economic model for local and broader-based communities.

The five strategic focus areas are reflected in the role descriptions of each executive and senior manager in the group and form the basis for evaluating their performance.

Our Strategy & Strategic Objectives

People are the Business

We need the right people in the right roles doing the right work to deliver against our goals.

How we are implementing this strategy

We believe that people are central to our success. The shortage of key skills is one of the most significant risks that we face, and one that is shared across the global mining industry.

We aim to create a value proposition that will attract and retain key skills, and which in turn will create a similar and appropriate value proposition for communities and other stakeholder groups.

This values-based approach has been strengthened further through the development of a code of ethics which expresses the company’s commitment to conducting business in line with the highest ethical standards and in compliance with applicable legal requirements. It sets out the standards of acceptable behavior expected of all directors, employees, consultants, business partners, and company representatives, emphasizing performance with integrity.

Strategy in Practice: Implementing Effective Systems

Our strategic direction as defined in our vision, mission, values, and five core strategies introduced a new approach to leadership within the group that supports people doing the right work. We designed and implemented Project ONE to maximize efficiencies, productivity, and sustainability.

    • The SP – Ensures the right people are in the right role doing the right work.
    • The BPF – Ensures we’re doing the right work at the right time in the right way.
    • Engagement – Ensures we involve the right people in the right way for the right outcomes.

People Strategy

Maximize Margins

We need to manage revenues and costs to ensure delivery and protection of returns in a volatile price environment.

How we are implementing this strategy

Cazimir Mining aims to maximize margins by actively managing both revenues and costs. We seek to realize full value from our products, deliver consistent quality, and maintain cost competitiveness.

Strategy in Practice: Improving Cost Performance

In the Gonaives region of Haiti, major projects are under way to develop a technology-oriented model that achieves cost savings, improves safety, and minimizes environmental impacts.

    • Offering exposure to spot prices.
    • Developing new sources of gold production.
    • Delivering consistent quality on time.

People Strategy

Manage the Business as an Asset Portfolio

Managing shareholders’ funds optimally requires continual focus on capital deployment.

How we are implementing this strategy

Our growth targets are balanced by portfolio management to secure optimal returns. Capital deployment is optimized by investing only in assets and growth opportunities offering superior returns.

Strategy in Practice: Asset Assessment

Continuous assessment identifies performance improvements, rationalizes portfolios, and enhances operational efficiency.

    • Risk-adjusted returns and performance reviews.
    • Annual portfolio evaluation across regions.
    • Long-term asset assessment and rationalization.

People Strategy

Grow the Business

Developing growth options that drive long-term value while ensuring sustainable returns.

How we are implementing this strategy

Growth is a key driver of long-term value. We set ambitious production targets and focus on sustainable shareholder returns.

Strategy in Practice: Greenfield Exploration

We continuously review our exploration portfolio, divesting non-core assets to fund future opportunities and maintain a robust growth pipeline.

People Strategy

Embrace Sustainability Principles

Long-term value creation depends on sustainable relationships and mutual value creation.

How we are implementing this strategy

This core strategy reflects our values-based approach and recognizes that sustainability performance is key to securing and maintaining our social license to operate.

Each region manages a unique set of sustainability priorities, risks, and objectives. We integrate these principles throughout our project lifecycle, setting clear five-year targets and scorecards.
