OceanaGold Corporation WAI-985-000-REP-LC-0056_Rev0 Page 28 of 36 5 IMPLEMENTATION AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The options identified in the Energy Transition Study are being assessed for applicability for each one of our operations and cascaded through our operations in the form of Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management Plans. This will provide a site level action plan, including measures to be implemented and the further studies to be conducted to underpin future performance. The overarching implementation strategy is presented below. The specific short-term actions under consideration for the Waihi North project include the following: • Implementation of energy efficiency measures in the processing plant. • Usage of electrified mining equipment in the underground mine. • Implementation of hydrogen power units to reduce emissions reduction from diesel in haulage trucks (dependent on a trial currently being conducted). • Purchase of certified renewable power. In addition to local measures, the following organisation-wide actions will be progressed to evaluate the viability of broad areas within horizons 2 and 3 with a view to achieving our carbon neutral goal by 2050: • We will seek to implement large scale renewable power generation and storage at mine sites (possibly in partnership with third parties).
