About Our Corporate Values
Our employees live where we operate. At White Metal we are committed to realizing meaningful and long-term benefits for all stakeholders. That is why we have followed a sustainability strategy with goals that focus on three key elements: Our People, the Environment and the Community. These foundations represent significant opportunities for White Metal and our communities to realize meaningful and long-term benefits.
Our People
The talented and committed officers, directors and employees of White Metal are the backbone of the Company and are the needed catalysts for growth. As such, White Metal strives to promote a healthy and exciting workplace, a place where workers can be proud to be a part of.
Transparency and Creativity
White Metal recognizes the value of organic growth, not only on the asset level, but also within the Company. Actively fostering and challenging employees to think creatively and to generate ideas of how to better White Metal for years to come is crucial.
Safe Work Environment
White Metal is vitally interested in the health and safety of its employees and is committed to promoting a safe workplace for all employees, contractors, customers and visitors. In pursuit of this commitment, the company has followed health and safety policies and practices and ensured that collaboration and training result in a safe place to work.
The Environment
Our goal is to minimize our environmental footprint and safeguard the environment for future generations. Responsible environmental management is central to our goal of becoming a leading gold prospecting and exploration company.
Community
In order to assist in the development of sustainable prosperity, the company is sensitive to better the communities in which it operates. As core values, we encourage youth and adult continuing education, as well as the importance of research and education relevant to the mining industry. White Metal recognizes the need to engage and build lasting relationships with communities located near our active project areas. Our model includes seizing the opportunity to create positive and transparent relationships that build trust, confidence and stronger, healthier communities.
Partnerships

There is also a need to manage and reduce our shareholder’s exposure to potential risk. White Metal accomplishes both of these objectives, in part, by building relationships with peer companies and engaging the best contractors and consultants available whose values and abilities are aligned with, and complement, our own. Success is enhanced through our friendly business associations.
