The major risks which might have a significant impact on production capabilities are: - The Amur Region is prone to a high risk of natural phenomena, including freezing, flooding and earthquakes. - The failure of critical assets and long downtime. - Geotechnical instability could lead to pit slope failure and the suspension of mining works. - POX technology is complex and inherently dangerous due to the high operating temperature and pressure. - Any major tailings incident might result in a mine operating on a limited basis due to regulatory interventions. - Preventative maintenance procedures are undertaken on a regular basis to ensure that machines will function
