Report on Tailings Management Facilities
Trans-Siberian Gold plc (TSG.LN), a low cost, high grade gold producer in Russia, has today released a report providing full disclosure on its tailings storage facilities ('TSF') management.
This report has been published in response to a request from the Church of England Pensions Board and Swedish Council on Ethics for the AP Funds, backed by the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and on behalf of 96 investors in the mining sector, together representing over $10.3 trillion in assets under management.
TSG currently manages one TSF at the Asacha Gold Mine in Russia, which has been in operation since 2011 under management from TSG's wholly-owned subsidiary ZAO Trevozhnoye Zavevo ('TZ'). To date, there have not been any tailings-related safety or environmental incidents at the Asacha Gold Mine.
TSG is fully committed to improving our transparency and providing stakeholders with full disclosure. We welcome this request to provide further information about our TSF management and support the movement towards greater transparency within the metals and mining sector.
Our report is available for download from the TSG website.
