7 1.0 THE PROJECT 1.1 Project Description The Canadian Malartic mining project is divided into several sectors of activity. To begin, construction activities associated with the relocation program in the southern sector were launched in 2008 along with site restoration and preparation work. The project to construct the industrial complex should start during the third quarter of 2009 once the various authorization certificates and permits have been obtained. A brief description of construction activities by sector of activity follows. Relocation program Golf course Work to landscape the Malartic golf course will be required in light of the new development to the north of the city of Malartic. This work consists essentially of creating three new holes and relocating three existing ones. Irrigation and drainage works are also planned. Municipal infrastructures The new northern district will require construction of new streets for the new urban development to the north of Malartic. The infrastructure program consists of constructing a network of underground infrastructures (sewers, drinking water and rainwater). In addition, the streets will be paved and light standards and sidewalks installed. Elementary school An elementary school will be built in the new northern sector of the city. This school will have a capacity of at least 350 students. Long-term care hospital (CHSLD) A building connected to existing infrastructures will be built along Highway 117. This building will be able to lodge some 60 people on two floors. Low-income housing (HLM) A building housing 20 families will be built in the northern sector of the city. Day-care centre (CPE) A building with a capacity of 75 places will be built in the existing northern sector. Community centre 5

8 A new community centre will be built and joined to the polyvalente Le Tremplin comprehensive school. Social housing (apartments) Since some apartment buildings cannot be moved, buildings will be constructed in the new northern sector. At present, 24 apartments will be rebuilt, i.e. six units with four apartments. Adult education pavilion This building will offer training programs for an adult clientele. It will be located in the new northern sector. House relocation program An exhaustive program is planned to relocate houses from the southern district to the new northern district. Roughly 140 properties will be moved to the new northern district. This relocation will require building of new foundations, basements and landscaping. Demolition of southern district Once all of the properties have been moved and/or demolished and all public services removed, landscaping and securing work will be performed. Mining sector work Pre-production work will have to be done before commercial production begins. In large part, this work will consist of preparing the main pit, and of building access roads and a number of structures for preparing explosives. Electricity 120 kv line The Canadian Malartic project will require construction of a 120 kv line from Cadillac. The work will be done and supervised by Hydro-Québec personnel. Main substation An electrical substation will be built near the plant. This substation will be connected to the 120 kv electrical network. Distribution line The entire mining site will be served by an overhead power distribution network. In total, roughly 12 kilometres of electrical distribution lines will be built. 6

9 Infrastructures Control station A control station serving as a gatehouse will be built near the industrial complex. Access roads Various access roads will be built on the industrial complex site to provide access to the different facilities. Administrative building/warehouse A two-storey building will be constructed on the site to house all administrative services. Mine office/vehicle maintenance workshop A building will be constructed to provide offices for mine personnel and space for maintenance services for the mine s vehicle fleet. Fuel storage Fuel storage facilities are planned for the mine site. Ore processing plant This complex will house all services, including plant offices, the laboratory and workshop. The entire processing circuit consists essentially of the following circuits: Primary crushing Transportation of ore to stockpile Ore taken from bottom of stockpile Primary grinding Sieving Secondary grinding Thickening prior to leaching Oxygen plan Leaching in stirred tanks Gold recovery using activated charcoal Refining Tailings detoxification Thickening of tailings Pumping of tailings Reagent mixing 7

10 Tailings and water management Tailings site Construction of a number of dikes and reinforcement of existing infrastructures is planned. The Canadian Malartic project plans to dispose of tailings in the old tailings site of the East Malartic mine. A surface pipeline network will be built to carry the pulp. Polishing pond A polishing pond will be dug to contain runoff from the tailings site, surface runoff and water from the mine. This pond will have a capacity of roughly 6 million cubic metres, and will require construction of primary and secondary dikes. A surface pipeline network will be built to carry recirculating water. 8

69 Appendix 19: Fire Protection FIRE PROTECTION Fire Protection Revision #1: September 28, 2008 *Note that the evacuation and firefighting procedure will be revised as work progresses on the sites. 67

70 Fire protection There are two key components to fire protection: Fire prevention An evacuation and firefighting procedure The Fire Protection procedure dictates the obligations and prohibitions implemented by the main contractor throughout the construction site. It was prepared in cooperation with employers, workers and municipal authorities. The evacuation and firefighting procedure aims to protect people on the sites, the public and property. Fire prevention Fire prevention should be a constant concern for everyone on our construction site. Each person must give it their full attention and take all measures at their disposal to prevent fires. To achieve this objective, the following actions will be taken by the main contractor: Explanation of this procedure during orientations provided by the main contractor Ban on open burning (e.g.: destruction of boxes from explosives) Welding and cutting permits mandatory for all construction sites (permits, Osisko internal standards and training available). Disciplinary measures for failure to respect permits Ban on waste accumulation Ban on operating defective equipment Ban on smoking within all buildings on pain of disciplinary measures Ban on any item of clothing, work boot or other combustible material approaching within 10 inches of a heat source ; Ban on accumulating petroleum products in an unventilated area Ban on locating tanks or containers of combustible material, such as petroleum products and propane gas, within 10 metres of all offices or dining areas Obligation to have a type ABC extinguisher of at least 10 pounds aboard all heavy equipment (daily verification of extinguisher and entry on inspection form) Obligation to have a type ABC extinguisher of at least 10 pounds aboard all other mobile equipment: elevating platforms, pickups, cranes, etc. (daily verification of extinguisher and entry on inspection form) Obligation to have an extinguisher near all temporary electrical panels Obligation to have a CO2 extinguisher in all electrical rooms Obligation to have an extinguisher of at least 20 pounds near all heating units Type ABC extinguishers of at least 10 pounds in all dining areas Monthly inspection of all fixed fire extinguishers and keeping of an inspection record 68

71 Continuous inspection by safety officers, supervisors and workers Obligation to immediately report all hazardous situations to immediate supervisor Smoke detectors shall be installed in all buildings on the various construction sites that house offices The main contractor shall install (as soon as infrastructures permit) fire hoses in strategic locations The Osisko fire marshal shall ask the city of Malartic to inspect our sites and make recommendations to the main contractor. These recommendations shall be submitted to the Construction Site Committee and the CSST. Evacuation and Firefighting Procedure During construction of the various buildings and institutions (school, CHSLD, cultural recreation centre, CPE/daycare, process plant, crusher, etc.), the possibility for quick intervention and the equipment available on the site will be changing constantly. Depending on whether construction is adjacent to an existing building that already has a fire protection system or a building well away from town, the main contractor shall prepare a separate evacuation and intervention plan for each location. Intervention in urban environments During construction within city limits, the collaboration of the municipality of Malartic is essential. The city has necessary equipment and firefighters in the event that an intervention is required. 69

72 Appendix 20: Evacuation and Firefighting Procedure: East Malartic Site FIRE PROTECTION Evacuation and Firefighting Procedure: East Malartic Site Revision #1: September 28, 2008 *Note that the evacuation and firefighting procedure will be revised as work progresses on the sites. 70

73 EVACUATION AND FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURE: EAST MALARTIC SITE EMPLOYEES WHO DISCOVER A FIRE SHALL: Attempt to extinguish the fire without endangering their own life or those of others.

Proceed to the muster station (map showing muster station at end of document) and stay on the site. This will make it possible for those responsible for evacuation to ensure no one misses the call. ROLE OF SECURITY GUARD IN GUARD OFFICE Upon receiving a call indicating that a fire has broken out, the security guard shall write down all information provided. Call emergency services at 911. Give all information requested. Wait to ensure the attendant has recorded all information before hanging up. Next, contact the following people (if they are not present on the site). These people are responsible for evacuating. Name Extension Cell. phone no. Jude Boucher André Lafontaine Antoine Sweet Denis Cimon

74 Remain in the office and wait for emergency services to arrive. Direct them to the site of the fire. The security guard shall close the gate to ensure that no one enters or leaves without the prior authorization of a party responsible for the evacuation. This holds true for all employees except those affected by the emergency. In addition, the security guard shall accept no calls from outside. ROLE OF ALL EMPLOYEES ON THE SITE When notice is issued that buildings are being evacuated, immediately stop all work, and follow instructions. Leave the work premises after securing it. Close all doors upon leaving (to slow the progress of flames). Notify others near their work site. Proceed to the muster station (map showing muster station at end of document). Report to their foreman and stay on the property. Await further instructions from their foreman. It is strictly prohibited to re-enter buildings during the emergency intervention.

Ask the Control Officer on duty at the guard office to alert you when the visitor arrives. Inform the Main Contractor (Construction Safety Officer, Superintendent, etc.) that a visitor will be present on the site; indicate who will accompany the visitor. Collect the visitor at the guard office; you must ensure the visitor is accompanied everywhere and at all times while on the site. The Control Officer at the guard office: Upon the arrival of an expected visitor, contact the staff member the person is supposed to see. The staff member will act as host during the visit and accompany the visitor on the site. Ensure the visitor has the necessary security equipment before granting access to the site. If the visitor has arrived unexpectedly, contact the requested staff member, the Construction Safety Officer or the Health and Safety Superintendent.

92 TO: Employers on Canadian Malartic project construction sites DATE: March 17, 2009 Subject: Safety harness on elevating platforms A safety harness must be worn by all persons occupying an elevating platform. Workers are not obliged to be attached at all times. However, they must use the attachment points provided for this purpose if their activities place them at risk of falling. Thank you for your cooperation. Jude Boucher Health and Safety Superintendent 90

93 MEMORANDUM TO: All employers on the Canadian Malartic Project's construction sites DATE: March 2, 2009 SUBJECT: Self-propelled elevating work platforms Self-propelled elevating work platforms are commonly found on construction sites. There are two types of work platforms: Self-propelled elevating work platforms for use on "off-slab" surfaces (Standard B354.3) Self-propelled elevating work platforms for use on paved/slab surfaces (Standard B354.2) Each type of work platform has several different models with/without outriggers and/or travel limiters, which prevent the platform from being moved while in a raised position. It is difficult to distinguish between the various models of platforms. The safety features that prevent a platform from raising if it is not on level ground or prevent it from moving if it is in a raised position can fail and lead to a serious work accident. As a way to standardize how work platforms are used on our institutional construction sites, the following rules were submitted and approved by the construction site committee: All self-propelled work platforms used on off-slab surfaces must be equipped with outriggers; the outriggers must be deployed before the platform is raised. All self-propelled work platforms, whether used on paved surfaces, slab surfaces or offslab surfaces, must be brought down to their lowest level before being moved. These two rules are effective immediately. Your cooperation is appreciated, Jude Boucher Health and Safety Superintendent 91

94 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CC: All employers on the industrial construction site Jude Boucher, Health and Safety Superintendent Automatic backing-up horns Ronald Bougie, Construction General Manager DATE: May 7, 2009 Luc Lessard, Vice President, Construction Article of the Safety Code for Construction Sites states that certain types of mobile equipment must be equipped with an automatic horn that sounds when reversing. For example, dump body trucks and cement trucks must be thus equipped. Given the number of light-duty trucks that will be in use on the future industrial construction site, this requirement will be extended to cover the following types of vehicles in order to enhance the overall level of safety: Worker transportation trucks Supervisor trucks Service trucks Delivery trucks Vehicles that operate in populated zones (such as in the town of Malartic and surrounding areas) must also be equipped with a switch to disable the automatic horn system so as to not disturb the residents. Your cooperation is appreciated, Jude Boucher Health and Safety Superintendent 92
