G Mining Ventures Corp. is pleased to announce the publication of its 2024 Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG“) Report, highlighting a pivotal year in which the Corporation transitioned from mine developer to operator and accelerated its evolution into a multi-asset, mid-tier gold producer. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, the report highlights GMIN’s progress in environmental stewardship and responsible mining, inclusive economic growth, and governance excellence — particularly at the Tocantinzinho Gold Mine (“TZ“) in Pará State, Brazil, and through early ESG integration at the Oko West Project in Guyana (“Oko West“) and the Gurupi (“Gurupi“) Project in Brazil.
Prepared in alignment with globally recognized frameworks—including GRI, SASB, TCFD, TNFD, IFRS S1/S2, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals1—the report reflects GMIN’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and sustainable value creation.

“2024 marked a foundational year for GMIN as we successfully transitioned into a gold producer and laid the groundwork to become a multi-asset gold producer,” said Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & Chief Executive Officer. “Our ESG strategy evolved from policy to action — integrated across teams, sites, and decision-making processes. This report captures not only our progress, but also our intent to: grow responsibly, reduce our environmental impact, and strengthen partnerships in the regions where we operate. As we grow, ESG remains central to how we operate and how we create responsible, long-term value for all stakeholders.

ESG Integration at Growth Projects
In addition to reaching commercial production at TZ, GMIN made key strides at its development-stage assets, aligning with international best practices.
- At Oko West, GMIN formed a Multi-Stakeholder Working Group, secured provisional environmental and social licensing, and initiated early works construction.
- At Gurupi, GMIN began permitting and stakeholder engagement planning following the acquisition.
“As we advance our sustainability strategy, this report shows how ESG principles are now embedded across our operations,” said Eduardo Leão, Vice President of Sustainability. “In 2024, we moved from design to delivery — formalizing policies, applying global frameworks, and engaging stakeholders across Brazil and Guyana. From biodiversity and water reuse to human rights and governance, we’re building a resilient, responsible business grounded in long-term value creation.”
