Strategy
Provide a description of key impacts, risks, and opportunities, The major climate risk for SilverCrest was
determined to be water scarcity in the region of
operation. This was determined through a
climate risk analysis conducted as part of
SilverCrest's TCFD disclosure.  The water risk
identified did not pose a critical threat to
SilverCrest as the Las Chispas Operation has a
relatively low environmental impact and water-
usage footprint. If managed correctly, there is
not expected to be any operational disruption
related to water shortage to occur throughout
the life cycle of mine operations. However, it is
expected that water scarcity and droughts will
have a major impact on the surrounding
communities that rely on water for their
livelihoods and wellbeing. SilverCrest sees this
as both a risk, but also an opportunity to add
value to the local communities by supporting
them through the expected water impacts. As
such, SilverCrest has embarked on a five-year
water stewardship plan (2022 to 2026) to
revitalize the water infrastructure in the area.

Topic #1 Water
An explanation of why the topic is material; describe the actual and potential, negative and positive impacts on the economy, environment, and people, including impacts on their human rights SilverCrest conducted a climate risk analysis as
part of its TCFD reporting process. The analysis
identified water scarcity and drought to be the
key climate risks for the Company. Although

Interactions with Water As A Shared Resource
Describe how the organization interacts with water, including how and where water is withdrawn, consumed, and discharged, and the water-related impacts caused or contributed to, or directly linked to the organization’s activities, products or services by a business relationship (e.g., impacts caused by runoff) The Company uses government-approved
consumption sources. The company uses two
underground wells concessioned by the
federation for mining operations, which means
that water is available in quantity and quality in
the volumes that were authorized and does not
compromise the availability of water for other
uses. The volumes of water that are destined
for operation and services are counted daily by
area, in order to determine the use that is
assigned to it. In the case of facilities in urban
areas, water is supplied by the state
distribution network.

During 2022, the Las Chispas Operation  used
38% of the volume of water under its
concession.
Describe the approach used to identify water-related impacts, including the scope of assessments, their timeframe, and any tools or methodologies used SilverCrest uses the following approaches to
mitigate and manage water-related impacts:

i. maximize water reuse and/or recycling;
ii. minimize wastewater discharge and control
discharge quality;
iii. manage withdrawal and any dewatering if
applicable, to preserve water levels and flows
needed to maintain the surrounding
environment;
iv. develop mitigation strategies for known past
impacts and potential risks;
v. leverage technological water solutions
(improve quality, reduce use, etc.);
vi. strive to follow best practices for potential
implementation; and
vii. consider potential climate change scenarios
for long term planning for Company operations
and local communities.
Describe how water-related impacts are addressed, including how the organization works with stakeholders to steward water as a shared resource, and how it engages with suppliers or customers with significant water-related impacts The Company has a strong commitment to use
water responsibly so that it is used in the
amount required and waste is avoided. The
distribution of water in each of the operational
and service areas is monitored daily, as well as
water used by contractors. In its mining
operation, the production process has a closed
system design that is zero-discharge, thereby
avoiding discharges to the environment.  Grey
water from sanitary services is treated and
reused for dust suppression and watering of
green areas.
Explain the process for setting any water-related goals and targets that are part of the organization’s management approach, and how they relate to public policy and the local context of each area with water stress The Company established a policy for the
responsible use of water in all its operations,
with the objective of aligning and complying
with the requirements established by local,
state and federal authorities, regarding the use
assigned to this resource, creating awareness
among its staff to establish a culture of care and
rational use of available water.

with the EPRP, as well as to facilitate the
dissemination, implementation and
performance of drills derived from it. The plan
considers the following alert levels.

Level 1 "low": this is an alert level, where the
situation inside or outside the tailings
management area can be controlled by internal
personnel through minor maintenance
activities and does not require the activation of
an emergency.
Level 2 "medium": is an emergency level, where
the situation cannot be managed by the area's
personnel, but does not exceed the site's
resources to be controlled. It does not
represent an immediate threat to the integrity
of the repository.
The scenarios it considers are as follows:
- Seismic event.
- Slope deformations or cracking
- Extreme storm warning
- High water table
- Piping / internal erosion or seepage
- Reduced freeboard

Level 3 "high": is an emergency level, where the
incident exceeds the resources available in the
emergency area and on site, requiring external
assistance from government or private
industry.

International Importance (the Ramsar
Convention).
List the environmental and biodiversity management plan(s) implemented at active sites SilverCrest's Las Chispas Operation
established its environmental baseline in 2020
as part of the legally required environmental
permitting process. As a result of this
evaluation, the following programs were
required:  

1. Flora and Fauna Rescue and Protection
Management Plan
2. Soils Conservation and Protection
Management Plan
3. Rehabilitation and Restoration Plan
