Supporting Energy Needs While Minimizing Impact
L&L is committed to conducting its operations in a responsible and sustainable manner.  Basing its
environmental strategies upon scientific studies, established and emerging industry best practices,
regulatory guidelines, as well as its own extensive operational experience, L&L strives to ensure its
mining practices are sustainable both in terms of overall impact as well as supporting the long term
energy needs of its markets.

Working closely with national and regional governments, L&L gives careful attention to all municipal and
regulatory requirements with respect to environmental impact, ensuring its operations remain in
compliance.  Beyond these thresholds, L&L and its related companies seek to develop improved
methodologies that not only improve operational efficiencies, but can be developed on an ongoing basic
to ensure progress in this area.

New Mining Operations:  L&L’s affiliated companies give careful attention to ensure that any and all
potential impacts to the surrounding and greater environment are completely and fully understood prior
to establishing mining operations.

Operational Strategy: The anticipated environmental impact on the surrounding area and steps to
mitigate these impacts are tightly integrated into all aspects of all L&L mine operation, from exploration
and permitting, development and construction, and mining operations.

Monitoring and Evaluation:  Control strategies are continuously evaluated on-site.

Innovation: Emerging and innovative mitigation measures are evaluated for possible implementation,
tested in controlled environments and, where applicable, implemented into field operations.
