This commitment is demonstrated through Agincourt Resources’ support for the development and improvement of public facilities that directly address community needs. One such initiative is the handover of a concrete road construction project in Wek I, Batang Toru, which serves as a primary access route for residents in carrying out their daily activities, particularly farming and other economic mobility.

The presence of a safer and more reliable road provides improved accessibility, while also enhancing comfort and safety for the community in their day-to-day activities.

In addition to road infrastructure, Agincourt Resources also places strong emphasis on public facilities that play an important role in the social and spiritual life of the community. This support is reflected in the renovation of the dome and terrace of Masjid Al-Ittihad in Bandar Hapinis Village.

This renovation forms part of the continuation of the Community Development Programme (PPM), following the company’s earlier support for the construction of the mosque. The enhancement of these worship facilities is expected to improve comfort for worshippers and support religious as well as social activities within the village.

These two initiatives reflect Agincourt Resources’ holistic approach to developing public access, focusing not only on physical infrastructure, but also on social spaces that strengthen community cohesion and well-being. Improved road access facilitates mobility and economic activity, while well-maintained places of worship serve as centres for social and spiritual engagement that foster stronger community ties.

For Agincourt Resources, support for the development of public access is not merely a form of corporate social responsibility, but part of a long-term commitment to promoting inclusive development. By strengthening community accessibility and stimulating local economic activity, the company aims to make a tangible contribution to improving the quality of life of communities surrounding its operational areas.

This commitment is demonstrated through sustained support for the education sector, focused on two main pillars: enhancing access to education through scholarship programmes, and the provision and improvement of educational facilities and infrastructure that are safe, adequate, and conducive to effective teaching and learning activities.

One tangible form of this support is the renovation of the Auditorium and Buildings of Universitas Graha Nusantara Padangsidimpuan (UGNP). This renovation is expected to support a wide range of academic activities, including graduation ceremonies and other institutional events, in line with the continued development of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at UGNP.

Beyond higher education, Agincourt Resources also consistently supports the improvement of educational facilities and infrastructure at the primary and secondary education levels in areas surrounding its operations. This support is realised through the construction and renovation of educational facilities at various locations, including the renovation of female dormitory toilet facilities at Yayasan Faza Azkia, the construction of a multipurpose hall and musalla at SMK Negeri 1 Marancar, and the improvement of facilities and infrastructure at SMA Negeri 1 Batang Toru, such as school fencing, classrooms, sanitation facilities, and utility networks. In addition, new classrooms have been constructed at SDS Taman Siswa Sumuran, along with the provision of proper classroom facilities at MDA Bustanur Rahmah, Perkebunan Batang Toru.

All these programmes are implemented collaboratively with schools, foundations, and relevant stakeholders, ensuring that the benefits are optimally received by beneficiaries and contribute to the creation of a safe, comfortable, and conducive learning environment.

Through this approach, Agincourt Resources views education not merely as a social responsibility, but as a long-term investment in sustainable human development. By integrating support for educational access with strengthened infrastructure, the company aims to contribute to the development of future generations who are well prepared to face the challenges ahead. This commitment to education forms part of Agincourt Resources’ efforts to promote inclusive and sustainable development, while also strengthening synergy with communities and stakeholders in areas surrounding the company’s operational sites.

Forest rambutan is a native fruit tree that grows naturally in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra and Kalimantan. It is commonly found in lowland forests and hilly areas that remain relatively well preserved. Because its presence is closely linked to healthy environmental conditions, forest rambutan is often used as a natural indicator of forest ecosystem health. The greater the diversity of natural food trees, the higher the chances for wildlife to survive.

In appearance, forest rambutan differs from cultivated rambutan commonly found in markets. Its flesh is thinner, yet it still contains the energy and water required by wildlife. During the fruiting season, forest rambutan becomes an important food source for a wide range of animals, including birds, fruit-eating bats, primates, and other tree-dwelling mammals.

These animals play a vital role not only as consumers of the fruit, but also as natural seed dispersers. Forest rambutan seeds that are carried and dropped away from the parent tree have the opportunity to grow into new trees. This natural process supports forest regeneration and helps maintain ecosystem structure and balance over the long term.

For orangutans (Pongo), forest rambutan is considered a valuable food source, particularly during periods of abundant fruit availability. Orangutans consume the fruit flesh as a source of carbohydrates and fluids to meet their daily energy needs. The remaining seeds are then discarded in different locations, contributing to effective and natural seed dispersal.

Beyond its role as a food source, the forest rambutan tree is also an important component of orangutan habitat. Its relatively dense canopy and strong branches support orangutan activities, as these animals spend most of their lives moving and living in the trees. The presence of large trees such as forest rambutan allows orangutans to travel safely from one tree to another without descending to the ground.

As part of its commitment to environmental and wildlife conservation, Agincourt Resources cultivates forest rambutan (Nephelium cuspidatum) at the company’s nursery facilities. The seedlings produced are used to support habitat rehabilitation and restoration activities, particularly in areas that have experienced disturbance.

This effort aims to ensure the long-term availability of natural food trees for orangutans and other wildlife. In addition, replanting forest rambutan helps strengthen the ecological functions of the landscape surrounding the company’s operational areas, ensuring that it continues to support environmental balance.

The conservation of forest rambutan is an integral part of ecosystem-based wildlife conservation efforts. The loss of food trees due to forest damage can have a direct impact on wildlife survival. Therefore, the protection of natural forests, the restoration of degraded areas, and the replanting of native food tree species such as forest rambutan must continue to be promoted as a collective effort to safeguard the future of Indonesia’s tropical forests.

On 30th January 2026, the handover of newly constructed dug wells was carried out in Sumuran Village and Batuhula Village, Batang Toru Subdistrict. The development of these wells aims to meet the community’s clean water needs while also improving sanitation standards.

The Government of Sumuran Village expressed appreciation for the support, noting that access to clean water and proper sanitation can now be better fulfilled.

Similarly, the Government of Batuhula Village conveyed that the presence of the dug well significantly assists residents in carrying out their daily activities, while also contributing to improved public sanitation standards.

Through this initiative, Agincourt Resources reaffirms that its Community Development Programme extends beyond infrastructure development to encompass broader improvements in community well-being. Adequate access to clean water represents a strategic step towards creating a healthier, more productive, and sustainable environment for local communities.

A total of 116 patients who had been registered were awaiting surgery in Medan, making the January 2026 implementation a reflection of Agincourt Resources’ commitment to honouring its promise to communities affected by the postponement. Throughout 2025, the programme was implemented at five locations across North Sumatra, namely Bhayangkara Hospital Batang Toru, Pandan Regional General Hospital (Central Tapanuli), Sipirok Regional General Hospital (South Tapanuli), Siantar Eye Hospital Pematangsiantar, and concluded at Mencirim 77 Eye Hospital Medan. In total, 1,465 eyes from 1,358 patients were successfully restored, bringing renewed hope and an improved quality of life to the community.

The programme was designed as a tangible form of support for people living with cataracts who face limited access to eye health services, enabling patients to resume independent and productive activities and to live with greater dignity. The Martabe Gold Mine Free Cataract Surgery Programme is also aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Agincourt Resources implemented the programme in collaboration with Mencirim 77 Eye Hospital Medan, a specialised eye hospital with extensive experience and high competence since 2022, supported by professional medical personnel, adequate facilities, and strict patient safety standards.

Senior Manager Community Christine Pepah, representing Agincourt Resources management, stated, “Today, we conclude the 2025 Free Cataract Surgery Programme. As light returns to the eyes of our patients, we too look towards a bright and meaningful future. In every step and every form of support, there is a promise fulfilled, smiles restored, and hope rekindled. May every eye opened today bear witness to the continuity of our commitment to being present and making a positive impact on the community.”

The closing ceremony was attended by Agincourt Resources Deputy Manager Stakeholder Relations Adi Lubis; Director of Mencirim 77 Eye Hospital Medan, dr Syarifuddin A., Sp.M; and Head of Disease Prevention and Control of the North Sumatra Provincial Health Office, Novita Rohdearni Saragih, SKM, M.Sc., MA. The event also featured a health talk show with Dr Dewi Chailaty, M.Kes, Director of the Technical Implementation Unit of the North Sumatra Provincial Eye Specialist Hospital, as the keynote speaker.

One of the patients, Aohasi Halawa, 40, a becak (cycle rickshaw) driver from Percut Sei Tuan, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, can now see the world again through his left eye just one day after undergoing surgery at Mencirim 77 Eye Hospital Medan under the Agincourt Resources programme on 25 January 2026. “Praise be to God. Now I can see again,” said Aohasi enthusiastically at the programme’s closing. He shared that for a year his vision had been blurred, and by August 2025 it had become completely dark, forcing him to stop operating his becak. Upon hearing about Agincourt Resources’ free cataract surgery programme, he immediately registered, and just one day after the operation, his sight was restored.

The year 2025 marked the 11th implementation of the Martabe Gold Mine Free Cataract Surgery Programme. Since it was first launched in 2011, more than 13,000 eyes from over 11,000 patients have been successfully operated on. The programme has reached communities across various regions of North Sumatra, including South Tapanuli, Central Tapanuli, Sibolga, North Tapanuli, North Padang Lawas, Padang Lawas, Mandailing Natal, Pematangsiantar, Deli Serdang, Medan, and Nias. The success of this programme reaffirms that community health and well-being are an integral part of Agincourt Resources’ responsibility to contribute sustainably and deliver tangible positive impacts for the environment and surrounding communities.

Despite their essential role, hydrocarbons also present significant potential risks if not properly managed. Fuel spills, oil leaks, or improper waste handling can lead to environmental pollution and pose hazards to worker safety. For this reason, hydrocarbon management is a key element in the implementation of responsible mining practices.

Use of Hydrocarbons in Operational Activities

At Agincourt Resources, hydrocarbons are used across various operational areas, ranging from heavy equipment refuelling stations and maintenance workshops to facilities for storing fuel, lubricants, and other supporting chemical materials. Each stage of use carries the potential risk of spills, leaks, or contamination.

If these risks are not effectively managed, their impacts may be directly felt by the surrounding environment, affecting soil, surface water, and groundwater. This is why hydrocarbon management is not merely a matter of regulatory compliance, but also a reflection of the Company’s commitment to environmental protection and long-term operational sustainability.

Prevention as a Core Principle

Effective hydrocarbon management is fundamentally based on the principle of prevention. Fuel and lubricant storage is carried out in specially designed facilities that meet safety standards. These facilities are typically equipped with secondary containment systems—additional structures designed to contain liquids in the event of a leak, preventing environmental contamination.

In operational areas, refuelling activities are conducted in a controlled manner, supported by clear procedures and adequate supervision. In addition, routine inspections of tanks, pipelines, hoses, and distribution equipment are essential to detect potential leaks at an early stage, before they develop into environmental incidents.

Preparedness in Incident Response

In addition to preventive measures, preparedness for incident response is an important aspect of hydrocarbon management. Areas with potential hydrocarbon exposure are ideally equipped with emergency response equipment, such as spill kits or other spill response tools.

Workers assigned to these areas are provided with training on the safe and proper handling of hydrocarbon spills. A prompt and coordinated response can limit the affected area, reduce further environmental risks, and protect worker safety. Every spill incident, regardless of scale, is recorded and evaluated as a learning opportunity to improve future management systems.

Management of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Waste

Another critical aspect is the management of waste contaminated with hydrocarbons. Materials such as soil, cleaning cloths, absorbent sand, or contaminated equipment components must not be treated as general waste. Such waste is classified as Hazardous and Toxic Waste, meaning waste that, due to its characteristics and concentration, can pose risks to the environment and human health.

The management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste includes proper segregation, secure temporary storage, clear labelling, and transportation and treatment by licensed parties in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Discipline in managing this type of waste is a key indicator of a mature and effective environmental management system.

Commitment to Responsible Mining Practices

For Agincourt Resources, hydrocarbon management is an integral part of its commitment to Good Mining Practice and the implementation of an environmental management system. While detailed technical aspects of internal procedures are not publicly disclosed, principles of pollution control, environmental risk prevention, and waste management are consistently applied throughout operational activities.

In the context of mining operations located near areas of high ecological value, a precautionary approach to hydrocarbon management becomes increasingly important to maintain a balance between operational activities and environmental protection.

Protecting the Environment for Future Generations

Ultimately, hydrocarbon management is not solely about regulatory compliance, but a reflection of corporate responsibility towards the environment and surrounding communities. Through careful planning, high operational discipline, and an environmentally conscious work culture, the risks associated with hydrocarbon use can be minimised. For Agincourt Resources, effective hydrocarbon management forms an essential foundation to ensure that today’s mining activities do not leave an environmental burden for future generations.
