As a socially responsible mining company, Triton Gold commits to open dialogue, fair dealing and sharing the benefits of mining development. The Company's objective is that such sharing will lead to lasting social and economic improvement for employees, and host communities, regions and countries where it operates.

Triton Gold subscribes to Corporate Social Responsibility as defined by the World Bank:

Corporate Social Responsibility is the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development – working with employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve the quality of life, in ways that are both good for business and good for development.

The Company recognizes that this commitment helps to create opportunities that generate greater value for our shareholders and strengthens host communities' capacity to develop according to their own needs and vision. Triton Gold believes that lasting, mutually beneficial results depend on developing trust among all involved: management, employees, and host communities and governments.

The Company's approach to social responsibility has four core components:

• Ethical behavior
  
• Employee empowerment
  
• Community development
  
• Health and safety

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

In evaluating potential project development, Triton Gold considers economic, environmental, social, cultural and governmental factors. Ensuring that a development is for the long-term and mutually beneficial requires the participation of many different groups, including local residents, governments, non-governmental organizations, international agencies and others. In this process, the Company has identified certain priorities, which include:

• Encouraging constructive dialogue and interaction with all groups involved.
  
• Listening closely, responding appropriately and providing accurate and timely information.
  
• Respecting the interests of all members of the communities in which the Company conducts business.
  
• Building partnerships in entrepreneurial activities that help enhance local capacity.
  
• Providing financial support to organizations through charitable donations, budgets and policies.
  
• Employing members of the local community as well as indigenous peoples.
