The Company plans to achieve its corporate vision by:

• targeting resources in world-class and emerging mineral provinces, focusing on gold and selected base metals;
  
  
• engaging in generative exploration activities by pursuing mineral resources in established mineral provinces that require creative thinking and alternative development strategies;

• selecting a balance of brown-field and green-field projects; and
  
  
• identifying synergistic consolidation opportunities into companies and/or projects with established resource positions.
