Graphic Standards Manual


SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > EVOLUTION

ONE COMPANY. ONE BRAND. ONE LOGO. Why do we need branding guidelines? Welcome to the Dundee Precious Metals Graphic Standards Manual. This manual is designed to ensure that the DPM corporate identity is applied consistently in all applications and in all operations and facilities. This manual will guide you in the use of the global logo, typography, appropriate colours in multiple production processes. Further versions may include guidance for copy tone and manner, photography, and other materials that impact on a consistent presentation of the DPM corporate identity and brand. Who should use this guide? This guide and all content should be provided to all employees that procure items with DPM logo or identity applied. It should also be provided as support, for all briefs to designers, printers, media outlets, and other suppliers that provide services to DPM in preparing materials that include the corporate name, logo or other brand identification. How should this guide be used? In development of this manual, we endeavoured to anticipate all potential applications of the DPM corporate identity. We have provided guidelines regarding when to use full colour vs. onecolour; global vs. local, etc. We have also provided guidance on size and placement of logo relative to surface, and placement etc. However, these are guidelines. If a local team prefers to use the local logo on an item where we have indicated the corporate logo (e.g. Golf shirts) please discuss with your local Brand Council member or contact Corporate Services at logouse@dundeeprecious.com.

WE SUCCEED BECAUSE WE CARE. The Dundee Precious Metals Brand Promise Usage Guidelines Generally speaking, this is an internal Brand Promise. It represents our Core Values and our Vision into one succinct and easy to remember idea, that collectively guides our behaviours. However, there are some occasions when it may be appropriate to include it in external messaging: • In situations where it can be explained and given context, such as speeches, presentations to business audiences, corporate social responsibility report, etc. it may be used. Generally these are also

situations where we know who the audience is. • In situations where we are advertising or promoting ourselves and where we may not have the luxury of being able to explain the context of the brand promise, and where we do not have control over who is in the audience, we should not include the brand promise. • Please contact Paul Proulx SVP Corporate Services for prior approval before using the Brand Promise in any materials.

OUR BRAND PROMISE AND THE CONTEXT When we do choose to include the Brand Promise, please ensure that the message is clearly communicated that “We” does not only mean DPM,

but “We” also includes employees, communities, governments, investment community and some environmental NGOs.

We succeed because we care. DPM and Foundational Stakeholders share a mutually reliant partnership.

DPM and Stakeholders achieve success because of the power of partnership.

A powerful emotional differentiator. If our behaviours demonstrate that we care about employees, communities, environment, reputation of governments, and investment of our shareholders, we will differentiate in a meaningful way.

THE POWER OF A STRONG BRAND One brand is the idea that binds us together as one company and the idea that distinguishes us from other mining and smelting companies: • A Brand is a promise that we make to all stakeholders. It’s a promise that must be consistently delivered— everyday at every touch point. If any one of us breaks this promise it erodes trust.

• A Brand is short form of our core values that guides our behaviours. It’s not what you say; it’s what you do (even when you don’t think anyone is watching).

• A Brand is the unique personality and emotional connection that we have with our stakeholders.

CORPORATE VS. LOCAL LOGO GUIDELINES There is no hard and fast answer to when and where to use the corporate logo vs. a local version, however here are some guiding principles: • Use the corporate logo where the message may be covering more than one location. For example and advertisement that may be seen in Krumovgrad and Chelopech should include the corporate logo. • All materials that suggest a reference to all sites should use the corporate logo. For example an industry exhibit booth -no matter where it is located, should use the corporate logo. • All small space locations should use the corporate logo. For example on USB drives or writing pens should use the ccorporate logo. • When the address is included and space is limited use the corporate logo. For example on business cards it is best to use the corporate logo. 5

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

• The local logo should be used on site specific situations. For example, permanent building signage and flags, security ID badges, as well as directional roadside signage should use the local logo. • The local logo should be used on materials that can instill team pride. For example uniforms, promotional shirts and hats should use the local logo. • The local logo should be used on materials that share site specific information. For example, newsletters, memos, order forms should use the local logo.

SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > OUR LOGO

There are a number of colour treatments for the logo. Two-colour, black only (and halftone), PMS Blue only (and two tone), and white (knockout).

Global Corporate Logo

The Chevrons, a nod to the past, circle the golden globe suggesting forward movement, community and collaboration with all stakeholders.

The globe shows all current operations and Canadian corporate office.

It is preferred that the logo be used in its two-colour form, but there may be instances where it is more economical to use onecolour (ie internal memos and some collateral material involving silkscreening). All logos are provided in ai, eps and jpeg formats, and in CMYK and RGB modes to suit all media needs. Go to the Brand Assets site (https://portal. dundeeprecious.com/ Brand%20Assets/default. aspx).

Friendlier and accessible personality conveyed in an upper and lower case font, while still denoting strength (squared serifs).

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

The global icon and the word-mark have been integrated into one design, showing unity and cohesion.


SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > GUIDELINES Wherever possible, the two-colour (full colour) version of the corporate logo should be used. The intention is that all efforts and investments, no matter what region, support and build one corporate identity and one global brand. There will be occasions where a local logo adds to the message or adds specificity that could be beneficial. In such situations the two-colour version is still preferred.

Global Corporate Logo

Generally, when applying the local logo, use the version in the same language as the rest of the document.

There are a number of colour treatments for the logo. Two-colour, black only (and halftone), PMS Blue only (and two tone), and white (knockout). It is preferred that the logo be used in its twocolour form, but there may be instances where it is more economical to use one-colour (ie internal memos and some collateral material involving silkscreening). All logos are provided in ai, eps and jpeg formats, and in CMYK and RGB modes to suit all media needs. Go to the Brand Assets site.


SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > GUIDELINES COLOUR The black only logo is used for engraving, blindembossing and etching in glass, as well as for one-colour print requirements such as newspaper advertisements or internal memos where colour is not available.

Black only logo

Black Region name is knocked out in white

Black only greyscale logo

Black and 30% black Region name is knocked out in white

The greyscale version of the logo can also be used for newspaper and magazine ads where only black is available, as long as the resolution in the printing process will hold the screen value (minimum 133 lpi). If the logo is to appear on a solid colour, it can be “knocked out” of the background, but should normally appear in white. An exception can be made in the case of outdoor displays and flags where white may show dirt more easily. In this case, a one-colour version of the logo using 43% of the Gold PMS110 can be used.

Knockout of solid background

Option for knockout on Blue PMS288

When there is a practical use for a one colour logo on the corporate blue background, a 43% tint for Gold PMS110 can be used. This is effective for outdoor displays and flags where white may show dirt more easily.

USING THE LOGO AS A WATERMARK

In order to keep the logo isolated from other graphic elements, there is a formula for clearance space. The x-height (height of the lower case letters of “Dundee”) is used as a measure for the space around the logo that allows it to ‘breathe’. The minimum size that the logo should appear is 1.25” (32mm) in width, measuring from the “P” in “PRECIOUS” to the “S” in “METALS” The logo may be used as a watermark. Use either the Black only logo or the PMS 288 logo screened to approximately 3%, depending on the surface or stock that the logo will appear on. If you have concerns, email logouse@dundeeprecious.com.


SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > GUIDELINES INCORRECT USE OF THE LOGO It is crucial that the application of the logo be consistent and that it supports the brand standards. The logo should never be altered in any way. This includes changes to colour, text, proportions and use on background images and colours. Some examples of inappropriate logo use are displayed on this page for illustrative purposes only. If you have any doubts about the proper use of the logo, please contact Corporate Services Department: logouse@dundeeprecious.com.

INCORRECT USE OF LOGO ELEMENTS The individual components that make up the Dundee Precious Metals logo, should never be used as graphic elements outside of the logo. The elements that make up the logo should only appear as a single unit in the complete logo. Please do not use these components on their own as a part of any design or display.

Using the logo against an illustrative background is generally not successful. Complex patterns are not acceptable, and various colours do not display the logo clearly, even when knocked out of a solid colour.

Use of the logo on illustrative or graphic backgrounds

INCORRECT

While there are some examples at left to help you understand the guidelines, all uses of the logo against backgrounds should be approved first by a local representative of DPM council or Corporate Services Department at 7-25853 or email to logouse@dundeeprecious.com.

Use of logo with other graphic elements Sometimes the logo can be overwhelmed by surrounding graphic elements as in the example at right. Please be sure that there is sufficient white space around the logo and that it is not in competition with other graphics in terms of size or placement. The Dundee Precious Metals logo should appear as the dominant graphic element when it appears on a sign or in a publication that is featuring DPM. An example of where this is not possible would be on a tradeshow sign promoting all of the participants in the show and they are all being given equal status, However, please inform your supplier about the need for minimum white space around the logo (see page 9). 15

SECTION 1 > DPM LOGO > GUIDELINES The DPM logo has a number of forms. There is the corporate logo that is used in all communications that use the corporate voice, and there are the regional logos that apply to a specific location. The logos that identify the four specific geographic locations (Tsumeb in Namibia and Chelopech and Krumovgrad in Bulgaria) sometimes use the English spelling of the location, and locally use the translated version. The DPM name is always displayed in English.

TYPOGRAPHY IN LOGO ENGLISH ITC Lubalin Graph Demi

BULGARIAN Futura Futuris

We NEVER use the font that appears in the logo itself (ITC Lubalin Graph Demi) in headlines or body copy. We want to allow the logo to be distinctive and stand apart from the elements surrounding it.

The use of consistent typography solidifies and compliments our corporate identity and branding. The type families were chosen for their readability, compatibility with each other, and their clean, corporate look consistent with the brand. It’s important to apply our corporate typefaces to our products in the letterforms’ original format. Please do not manually modify the forms... don’t extend, condense or skew the letterform in any way.


SECTION 2 > USING ASSETS > COLOUR PALETTE The Primary colours are the two colours used in our logo: Pantone 288 (Blue) and Pantone 110 (Gold). Black is also considered one of the Primary colurs in our colour palette most often used for body copy. The two supporting or Secondary colours are Pantone 364 (Green) and Pantone 1805 (Red). These can be used to compliment the primary colours in their pure form or as tints. For example they could be used as a solid background to text boxes, frames for images, as highlight text or bullet points. They symbolize renewal (green) and energy (deep red). These colours are meant to be used sparingly. They compliment the corporate colours but they are NOT corporate colours and should not be used in the logo.

We have developed a tertiary palette for use in limited and unusual situations. This tertiary palette should only be used for charts and diagrams, particularly in complex documents such as the Annual Report and the Sustainability Report. These documents aim to communicate multiple messages within the context of one document and could benefit from an expanded palette.

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

The shortforms DPM/ DPMT/DPMK/DPMC should never be used in external communications. When the name is repeated throughout the body of text, the full name should be used for the first mention, and then “Dundee” can be used in place of the full name for the balance of the text. If the name appears in a headline, it should always show the full name, as well as at the beginning of sections or chapters within a document.

ACCOUNTA NT NEEDED

Dundee Precio us Metals Tsumeb is look ing for an accountant . Dundee offers an exci ting opportunity fo r people looking to furth er their career...

Where ads are typeset by a publication, other fonts are acceptable as long as the treament of the name is followed correctly. Dundee Precious Metals should be used in the headline. It is good practice to ask the publication for a proof before the ad is published.


SECTION 3: PRINT

> EVOLUTION SECTION SECTION 13 >> DPM PRINTLOGO APPLICATIONS

General notes for page will go in this section...

FILE FORMATS There are a number of different print processes available depending on the medium that is being used. For each of these different processes there is an appropriate graphic file format for the logo. It is

important to use the correct format in order to produce the optimal quality product. All the file formats listed below are available for downloading at the Brand Assets site.

Four-colour offset printing

Screen printing

File format: Use the two-colour logo in .eps (CMYK) Most publications, including magazines, annual reports, colour manuals and anything that includes photography, are printed using a four-colour (CMYK) protocol.

Spot colour

File format: Use the two-colour logo in .ai or PMS.eps All DPM stationery uses spot colour. Some of the corporate stationery uses an additional foil (Gold Foil Kurtz 428). As well, most signage will print in solid spot colour. Depending on budget, you can use the two-colour or the Blue PMS 288.eps logo file. Onecolour will be more cost effective than two.

Black & white newspaper/magazine

File format: Use the greyscale or black only logo in .eps Some newspapers print in colour, but most local publications are black & white. Because newsprint is coarser and absorbs more ink, and prints at 100 lpi, it is best to keep the logo at least 1.5” (31.75mm) in width to hold the detail.

File format: Use the two-colour logo in .ai or PMS.eps Screen printing is used for some signage, as well as T-shirts and plastic items such as water bottles and name tags. However, you should consult with the individual supplier regarding their specific process and file needs.

Embroidery

File format: Use the two-colour logo in .ai or PMS.eps Most embroidery suppliers prefer an .ai or .eps file format, but do check with the individual supplier to be sure.

Glass etching/engraving

File format: Use the two-colour logo in .ai or PMS.eps In most instances vendors will request a one-colour treatment of the logo for the purpose of etching (DPM Logo BLK.eps, or the regional version depending on the specific use). However, there may be instances where the desired effect involves a half-tone treatment (DPM Logo GS.eps, or the regional version depending on the specific use).

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

When creating printed material such as holiday cards and invitations, it is preferable to use the two-colour logo. All text that relates to the specific location (ie. address and other contact information) should follow the same guidelines as the stationery for font and colour (see pages 21-23). For greetings and invitation text, a script such as Apple Chancery may be used with prior Brand Council approval. For items such as gift bags, white, gold or dark blue are preferred to remain consistent with the corporate colours. The logo should be knocked out of the dark blue, the one-colour PMS 288 logo should be used on a gold bag, and where budget allows the two-colour logo should be used on a white bag.


SECTION 3 > PRINT > WEARABLES & USABLES When ordering clothing, it is important to check with your supplier for the file types they require. In most cases, whether the clothing will be embroidered or screen printed the supplier will prefer an eps file. This is a vector file and will usually be preferred in spot colour. These files are all available for download at the Brand Assets site.

The preferred colours for clothing fabrics are (in descending order of preference), white, dark blue and gold. *When there is a need for secondary text on a clothing item such as a shirt, it is acceptable under the following guidelines: n The secondary text must appear separate from the logo (on sleeve or back of shirt) n The secondary text must be less prominent than the logo (it plays a secondary role) n The text must be set in Futura Regular n The colour of the text must be PMS Blue 288 on a white or light coloured fabric, white if appearing on a dark fabric.

**When there is a need to use a second logo on a shirt, the Dundee Precious Metals logo must be placed on the left breast. The preference is that the second logo can appear on the back of the shirt or on the sleeve, but it is acceptable to place the second logo below the Dundee logo as long as the second logo is outside of the protected space (see page 9 for details), and the second logo is no larger than the Dundee logo.

IMPORTANT: If an employee requires logo wear for an event or function, then the company will provide it, if the request is approved. It is prohibited for employees to add the logo to their own garments or other personal items.


SECTION 3 > PRINT > WEARABLES & USABLES In most cases for the items on this spread the supplier will require a spot colour .eps or .ai file in the appropriate colour. Check with the supplier first and download the appropriate file at the Brand Assets site. In the example of art for a key chain, we have illustrated an engraved key chain. The proper art file to send supplier for engraving is a black only .ai or .eps file. The two-colour version of the logo is still preferred where budget allows.

Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb

Use of the logo on colourful shirts or other collateral for internal events There are occasions where bright colours may play an effective role, whether it’s differentiating teams using coloured t-shirts or using multi-coloured balloons at an internal event. It is acceptable to use the black only logo on light coloured backgrounds (non-standard colours like pink, yellow or grey).​ The white logo may be used on non-standard dark colours in these specific cases. It is important to note that these exceptions to logo use apply only to INTERNAL EVENTS.

33

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

In the case of artwork for umbrellas and flags, the logo will be silkscreened onto the fabric. Most suppliers will require a spot colour .eps or.ai version of the logo. Depending on budget, either the twocolour, or the screened Blue PMS 288 version of the logo is best on white. If the fabric is a dark blue, then a white logo should be used. The art work to send for a white treatment would be the Black only .eps or .ai file, and specify white as the ink colour. In situations where there is a very small space for branding (ie. the pocket knife at left), the name can be used in place of the logo. The name should be typeset in the corporate font (Futura Regular or Bold, or Futura Futuris).


SECTION 3 > PRINT > SIGNAGE Signage for DPM should be clean, readable and consistent in appearance. Any descriptive copy should be typeset in Futura Regular or Futura Bold, (the weight and size will depend on the particular usage). For example, a large billboard that will be viewed by drivers on a highway should use minimal text at a size large enough to be read quickly. A poster that appears in an interior space or where the viewer can stand and read it can contain more text and at a smaller size. The Futura font family should always be used. The preferred logo for permanent signage is the local in language version. It is critical that all permanent signage uses the same format: for example, we would not have a sign on a door that was a corporate logo and a sign at the entrance that was a local version.

Please note that while we have displayed different uses of signage on the illustration, you would not typically have multiple logos and signage in such close proximity on the same building. Signage on glass doors: Signage on glass doors should be produced as a silk-screened cling vinyl. This can mean twocolour, one-colour or white, depending on the surface. Sand blasted glass signage: Most sandblasted glass suppliers/contractors will require the black-only .ai version of the logo. Check with the individual supplier to be sure. Window cling: Cling vinyl comes in clear and solid colours. Locators: See previous page.

SECTION 3 > PRINT > EVENT MATERIAL There are a multitude of options for trade show displays to suit whatever budget and space requirement. Kits are available with easy to assemble pop-up backdrops and pedestals for larger displays. Roll-up banners are popular for smaller spaces and because they are light and easy to transport. Table top displays come in all shapes and sizes, depending on your needs, and if you’re looking for an animated approach, monitors are available to show videos clips of still imagery.

TRADE SHOW EXHIBITS

The logo should have a clear line of vision for audience in close range as well as from other vantage points at event. Consider logo at eye level in booth setting and above the crowd or at top of vertical banners for longer range impact. Please use Futura Regular and/or Futura Bold (not the condensed version of the font). DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

SMALLER AND OUTDOOR EVENTS Portable roll-up banner display

For photo backdrops, a step and repeat pattern of several smaller logos is more likely to ensure a full logo image is captured in photo, rather than one large logo that may be partially blocked by those being photographed.

Seamless backdrops for media photos

Gazebo / tent

In general, when deciding between local or corporate logo use, the same guidelines should apply as in other communications: Is it better for the audience of the event to think of us as a local company or an international leader? And as in other situations, if the booth represents more than one location, for example Krumovgrad and Chelopech, the corporate logo should be used. Please use Futura Regular and/or Futura Bold (not the condensed version of the font).

DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

When a vehicle is a colour other than white you will need to use a one-colour treatment. For lighter colours such as orange or yellow, use Blue PMS 288 version and for dark colours print the logo in white (supply the black only logo, and the vendor will use it to create a white logo).


SECTION 3 > PRINT > ADS AND PROMOTION Artwork for ads is usually supplied as a print-ready pdf to the publication’s specifications. By supplying a final pdf, you maintain complete control over the content of the ad, and this helps support and maintain the DPM branding. Sometimes a publication will offer a discounted rate if you allow them to “pub set” an ad. To do this, you will need to specify the font treatment as well as supplying the proper digital file for the logo, and if you are using images, you will need to be sure that they are the appropriate resolution and size. Most magazines run at 300 dpi and most newspapers require 200 dpi, but it is important to follow the publication’s specifications.

When designing a brochure, flyer or poster, apply all guidelines concerning the logo (see pages 7-10). Use the primary colours (Blue PMS 288 and Gold PMS 110) as the base for your design, and then use the secondary palette with care (see page 18).


SECTION 3 > PRINT > INTERNAL COMMUNICATION Internal communications should be treated with the same respect as branding on external print material. Make sure that the placement of the logo adheres to the guidelines as laid out on page 9 of this manual.

FOCUSED ON OUR PEOPLE THROUGH POSITIVE IMPACT

FOCUSED ON OUR PEOPLE THROUGH POSITIVE IMPACT Isolation training – Chelopech.

MATERIAL ASPECTS COVERED IN THIS SECTION Employment [LA1] Labour/Management relations [LA4, MM4] Training and education [LA9] Diversity and equal opportunity [LA12] Equal remuneration for women and men [LA13] Labour practices grievance mechanisms [LA16] Occupational health and safety [LA6] Non-discrimination [HR3] Freedom of association and collective bargaining [HR4] Human rights grievance mechanisms [HR12]

Labour Practices Disclosure on Management Approach Our employees are one of our most important stakeholder groups. And so, a substantial proportion of our financial resources are allocated to employee training, fair compensation and to protecting our employees from exposure to undue health and safety risks. Our success in these areas has an impact on every part of our business where there is an element of human interaction. Due to the geographic and cultural diversity of our workforce, we have created a blend of corporate, regional and site-based human resource policies and programs. This combined approach has allowed us to implement targeted local programs that attract, retain and motivate our staff, while still reflecting local needs and cultures. Human resource policies are incorporated into our Code, site-specific collective bargaining agreements, and the local labour standards and laws in the countries where we operate.

Equality and Diversity We use several methodologies for determining pay levels and try to match or exceed average wages in the countries where we operate. In Bulgaria we use the Mercer International Position Evaluation methodology and in Namibia we use the Patterson methodology (for lower-wage employees and union groups). We also compare pay levels with current regional market data and salary surveys (where reliable data exists) and attempt to target pay levels in the 75th percentile. Using a gender-neutral job evaluation methodology, we also seek to ensure that men and women receive the same remuneration for the same type of occupation according to their level of experience and length of employment.

At Tsumeb, we comply with the Affirmative Action Act of 1998, which legislates equal opportunities. It should also be noted that local labour laws in Bulgaria restrict the participation rates of women working underground in the mining sector. Women made up 17% of our global workforce in 2016.

Recruitment and Professional Development At all our operations, we seek to attract and hire locally based employees. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of our total workforce are local nationals. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of the positions at manager level and above are held by local nationals. We have 24 expatriate employees working throughout DPM and many of these positions are a function of a worldwide shortage of specific skilled labour, such as exploration specialists, project-related specialists and geologists. Across all our operations, we are progressing with our plans to build and develop in-country senior management teams comprised of local nationals. Professional development is a key objective and we provide a variety of learning opportunities. Key in-house programs include training and leadership skills development, and professional and technical skills development. In addition, tuition reimbursement is provided on a case-by-case basis for off-site, employment-related education. This ranges from university degree courses and technical short courses to international executive management courses for our senior managers and leadership team. Also, external executive coaches are working with a large number of our senior managers as part of their ongoing professional development.

SECTION 4: DIGITAL US

SECTION 4 > DIGITAL USE > ON THE WEB Using the logo online When using the logo online, the proper file fomat is either png or jpeg, RGB colour mode. The resolution of the logo is very important and the file should be sized to the maximum pixel resolution possible. The logo should appear in its two-colour format on a white background whenever possible. The same rules regarding space around the logo appy online as they do in print (see page 9). Futura can be used as a display font, but will need to be created and treated as a graphic. For the body copy you will need to use a generic html/web font. There are specific web fonts available, but the result depends on the fonts installed on the user end. The actual appearance will depend on the browser and the fonts installed on the system. Of the commonly used html/web fonts, Arial is closest to Futura and available on most browsers and operating systems.

When creating online banner ads, the logo should always appear against a white background. Images can fade out to white or have sharp edges, depending upon the image and the subject matter. The font Futura should be used where possible. When you save your file for web, you will be able to see if the text is readable. The text should not overlap the logo and the logo should not be placed over an image.


SECTION 1 > DIGITAL USE > OUR WEBSITE The website is meant to communicate to represent our overall business to all stakeholders. We therefore must balance our messaging for investors and analysts with the content that may be of interest to employees, local communities and other stakeholders.

THE WEBSITE

Our web site represents the embodiment of our brand. In terms of design, it is clean, open and accessible. The images are engaging and tell a story in line with our values. The infographics are clear and communicate complex information in a friendly and concise way, using icons and illustrations that relect our brand. The text is also written to be accessible and engaging.

SECTION 1 > DIGITAL USE > OUR WEBSITE

The Dundee Precious Metals Website is unique on a number of levels. There is the multi-lingual aspect which represents the international nature of the company. The site is available for viewing in English and Bulgarian.

FONT USAGE All elements are using font: Futura Regular (except h1 in footer). Navigation bar: font size: 18px / color: #092869 Navigation box: font size: 22px / line height: 22px color: #525962 Inner Banner: font size: 30px / line height: 34px color: #092869 Breadcrumb: / font size: 14px / color: #000000 / link color: #092869 H1: font size: 54px / color: #58595b H2: font size: 38px / color: #58595b H3: font size: 30px / line height: 49px color: #092869 Paragraph: font size: 22px / line height: 34px color: #929497 Footer: H1 / font: Futura Bold / font size: 24px / color: #e3d593

Another important component of the site is its additional feeds for News, Stock and Gold Indices. We also post tenders and vacancies for each location. Content to present Exploration and Development initiatives is included to demonstrate our Growth strategy.

PHOTOS Designers typically lean towards high resolution images with colours complimentary to the brand tones. Selection of images should be made with respect to the final aspect ratio of the page position. When selecting photos, ensure the focus of the photo can be held in frame with enough detail around the subject to ensure the image has relevance. Please ensure that fonts within photos do not conflict with copy as in background street signs etc. All images should convey a similar standard of emotion in addition to proper colour and image composition.

Within the template there are options for covers. When presenting at external events, use a cover that introduces the audience to our business. There are options for Chelopech and Tsumeb, as well as a blank cover where you can select another image more relevant to your presentation topic. We have also included a cover design for small images, and one cover which is type only. These cover options would be more appropriate for internal documents or for printed reports rather than a presentation. All templates are available on the Sharepoint site.

SECTION 5 > MESSAGING > DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY Messaging for Dundee Precious Metals has been developed based on all of the information and guidelines covered in this Graphic Standards Manual. The following two pages attempt to encapsulate the braoder picture in terms of communications, both verbal and visual. PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE: Low-resolution images are generally 72 ppi (pixels per inch) and suitable for online/ web site/PowerPoint purposes. The physical size/dimensions fo an image play just as important a role, and a general rule of thumb is that an image that will be used digitally should be at least 350KB.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Design should be clean, open and straightforward. Please exercise consistent use of the corporate colour palette, primary and secondary as presented on page 18. Graphs should be straightforward, easy to read, and designed in a manner to support the comprehension Health and Safety Model of the data presented. Typography and flow of text should be easy to read and Planning and Prevention Preparedness and Response consistent with the guidelines on pages 16 and 19. All online communications should use an intuitive navigation and Training, Incident/ Inspections Hazards Emergency Preparedness Reporting & Recommendations Holistic Risk Induction Accident user experience. & Response & Auditing Investigation Management Identification Assessment & Coaching Example of effective infographic >> Continuous Improvement

PHOTOGRAPHY Many of our stakeholders do not have the ability to visit our operations. By using photography and video we can bring our operations to life, and demonstrate our best practices and innovations. We aim to support our business visually to demonstrate our brand promise and in keeping with our core values. Where possible we try to use natural imagery of actual action and interactions, rather than staged shots. We do this to support transparency and to share what actually happens on site for stakeholders that do not have the opportunity to visit our operations. We house all photos in a central image bank. Contact us at logouse@dundeeprecious for access.

High-resolution images that would be suitable for most print applications should be 300 dpi (dots per inch), and a physical size of 3MB to be used as a 4” x 6” printed image (as an example). Samples of appropriate photography DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS GRAPHIC STANDARDS MANUAL

54


SECTION 5 > MESSAGING > ILLUSTRATION, VIDEO, LANGUAGE ILLUSTRATION We have developed a series of diagrams and icons to represent key concepts relevant to our business. Several of these can be seen on our website as well as in publications such as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We encourage the use of these diagrams and icons to align with our brand image.

Our Core Values

Safety

Dignity and respect

Environmental responsibility

Community investment

Continuous improvement

Transparency

Samples of infographic and icons that fit the company brand

VIDEO Where possible, we aim to bring our business and operations to life by using video content. Video footage engages the viewer and can share what goes on behind the scenes and below ground, thereby supporting our Core Value of Transparency. We are continually trying to expand our video library.

LANGUAGE/TONE When creating communication content, the tone should be professional and business like. Even for internal communications we should be maintain a business tone. Wherever possible we aim to link our business successes and operations with the benefits of the audience (shareholders, employees, communities, etc.) Many audiences do not understand our business, so applying a tone of transparency and optimism is important to present us as an industry leader.
