Health and Safety
     Investments in safety totaled US $24.18 million, allocated to three principal areas:

a) Training and course materials; b) Purchase of personal protective equipment; and c) Engineering projects (mainly dust and gas collection systems and also ventilation and anchoring systems for underground mining), considering the modernization and optimization of our operations, reducing the risks associated with health and safety.

Our people are represented on matters of health and safety. Each property has a Central Safety Committee and a Health and Safety Commission, in addition to department committees and safety cells.

Our efforts on safety have reduced the Gravity index for the Mining Division overall by 26%, Mexico by 25% and Peru 30%.
