Aris Gold's 2020 Sustainability Report is guided by the

Mining Sustainability Accounting Standard. The Company will look to
fully align sustainability metrics with SASB in future reporting
years. It also demonstrates how Aris Gold's approach aligns to
select UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Aris Gold CEO Neil Woodyer
stated: "We are very pleased to release our inaugural
sustainability report. Although much of the information in this
report covers our performance for the 2020 calendar year, we
underwent a transformation in 2021, renaming the Company from
Caldas Gold to Aris Gold, appointing
a new Board of Directors and management team, establishing a growth
strategy, and introducing new or updated ESG strategies and
commitments. The report provides an opportunity to share how we
plan to translate these changes into meaningful value for all
stakeholders, including our workforce and community partners."
