Primero sustainability report 2012 1
we at Primero are proud to present our
second annual Sustainability Report,
which highlights our achievements
and challenges in 2012. This was our second full year
operating the San Dimas mine in Mexico, since acquiring
it in August of 2010 from Goldcorp Inc., a company with
established and respected sustainability practices.
After a record year in 2012, in terms of financial and
operational performance, Primero is on track toward our
goal of building sustainable value: becoming a multi-mine,
intermediate precious metals producer, while always
supporting sustainable policies and practices in mine
exploration, development and operations. Corporate
responsibility is embedded into our daily activities. Our
goal is to continuously improve workplace health and
safety and environmental performance, while sharing the
benefits of mining with our local communities.
A key component of our commitment is transparent,
accountable sustainability reporting. Our Board of
Directors and senior management team are committed
to the sustainability reporting process and are working
to improve data collection and encourage employee
engagement in all of our sustainability initiatives.
Economic performance is not emphasized in this report:
as a public company, our financial results are audited
annually and reported on a regular basis, and our Annual
Reports, Financial Reports and Regulatory Filings are
posted on our website.
This report covers the period of January 1 through
December 31, 2012. Its content is guided by common
principles in sustainability reporting in our industry,
and the best available data, as reported by the San
Dimas mine. In 2013, the Company will begin internal
assessments of materiality, and over the medium term
we will broaden these discussions to include various
stakeholder groups. The 2011 Sustainability Report was
published in May of 2012, and we will continue to report
on an annual basis.
about this report

This report primarily discusses the Company’s operations
at the San Dimas mine in Mexico. The Cerro del Gallo
property is not discussed, as the acquisition of the project
is still in progress. To serve the Company’s growth, the
Toronto office moved in 2012. The environmental and
broader sustainability impact of this office, along with
those of Primero’s Vancouver and Mexico City offices,
had little effect on Primero’s overall impacts as they are
business offices, not mining or exploration properties.
As such, the offices’ energy consumption data are not
included in the environmental data. This report is based on
data collected in 2012, and does not re-state information
provided in earlier reports. There are no significant
changes from previous reporting periods in the scope,
boundary, or measurement
methods applied.
For any questions regarding this report or its contents
please contact us at sustainability@primeromining.com.
GRI DECLARATION
This report is based on the standards of the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI), and represents Primero’s first
Sustainability Report to attain a GRI G3.1 level C standard
of sustainability reporting. The GRI is an independent
institution that has developed voluntary guidelines
for sustainability reporting. We believe that the GRI
reporting guidelines help us to maintain a high standard
of transparency, clarity and comparability, and that
applying GRI standards demonstrates our commitment to
transparent reporting, especially in those categories that
are most important to our stakeholders. A GRI Index can
be found at the back of this report on page 34-35.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO
SUSTAINABILITY
At Primero, we believe that sustainability is
fundamental to our success. Our prosperity depends

on our performance – at the corporate level and in our
relation to our host communities – in the three pillars
of sustainability: economic achievement, community
engagement and environmental stewardship.
ECONOMIC ACHIEVEMENT
By maximizing earnings and reducing operating costs,
we produce results for our shareholders while also
contributing to the economic and social development of
our host communities. Only by creating value and sharing
it among shareholders and host communities, can we
sustain our company over the long term.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We actively engage in meaningful dialogue with local
residents, community leaders and organisations to
identify opportunities and priorities for economic
improvement, better training and social development.
We support schools, health care and local infrastructure,
and we continually seek development opportunities
that will contribute to a self-sustaining economy in the
communities surrounding our operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
At all times, we seek to operate in a responsible manner
and to mitigate the impact our operations may cause to
the environment. We operate with an awareness of the
mine’s life cycle and practice the progressive rehabilitation
of areas affected by our activities.
OUR STAKEHOLDERS
This report is written for Primero stakeholders, including:
Employees and their families,
Our host communities,
Legislators and government officials,
Shareholders, investors and financial analysts,
Civic, special-interest and non-governmental advocacy
organisations (NGOs).
These groups are generally accepted as key stakeholders for
sustainability reporting, and we engage with them through
our AGM, community meetings, website and a dedicated
email address. In the future, as we improve our processes for
materiality in sustainability reporting, we will be engaging in
formal exercises to refine our definition of stakeholders and
survey their reporting needs.
We invite sustainability-related comments and
suggestions at our dedicated email address:
sustainability@primeromining.com.

4 Primero sustainability report 2012
Our share price at the end of 2012 was 97% higher than
at the end of 2011. Backed by this success, we are
entering a phase of expansion in size,
diversity and production.

or Primero, 2012 was a record year for revenues,
cash flow and reserve growth. This was reflected
in our share price, which finished the year 97%
higher than at 2011 year end. Backed by this success, we
are entering a phase of expansion in size, asset diversity
and production.
At the San Dimas mine, newly discovered reserves helped
support the mill expansion, which is well underway. In
addition, we are also headed to becoming a two-mine
company: we have nearly completed the acquisition of
a new, potentially game-changing property, the Cerro del
Gallo project.
Along with this growth comes the obligation to
maintain, and continuously improve, our track record of
sustainability. We believe that we can only thrive when we
act with responsibility, transparency and accountability
toward our local communities. We share in the benefits of
mining and expend considerable effort in protecting the
health and welfare of our people, the economies of the
communities in which they live, and the environment that
sustains us all.
Last year I stated two safety objectives: first, to continue
our year-on-year decline in accident frequency – which
we accomplished. The second is still underway: I want
San Dimas to become a “triple-zero” operation by 2014:
zero fatalities, zero lost-time accidents and zero staff on
modified duties. However, despite the emphasis we place
on safe work practices and training, a tragic accident
resulted in a fatality at the San Dimas mine. In response,
we commissioned a complete overhaul of our safety
procedures, followed by a safety retraining program for
the entire workforce.
Investors are increasingly concerned with the sustainability
practices of mining companies. A lack of dedicated
commitment to sustainability is seen as a proxy for
increased risk. Throughout the mining industry, climate
change and water availability present significant
challenges. We continually seek new strategies for
minimizing our use of water and improving our overall
environmental performance. Last year, I stated that I
expected San Dimas to achieve the Mexican government’s
“Clean Industry” Certification every year starting in 2012.
The certification audit took place this year, and every
one of the auditor’s comments was addressed. Recently
Primero was granted the “Clean Industry” Certification.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Primero’s
employees for the hard work and dedication that made
this possible. I’m also proud to recognize our well-trained,
professional mine rescue team, who took home first
place in this year’s Rescue Brigade Competition held in
Durango City.
Our sustainability policies continue the high standards that
were originally established by the mine’s previous owner,
Goldcorp. These standards have earned us the coveted
“ESR” designation (in English, “Socially Responsible
Enterprise”), for the second consecutive year. As we move
forward, as a two-mine company, we intend to expand our
sustainability team, and work toward defining a company-
wide sustainability framework.
In measuring and reporting on our performance, we strive
to follow generally accepted international standards - in
financial reporting, health and safety reporting, and in this
report itself, which is the first Primero Sustainability Report
to meet the standards of the GRI 3.1 level C. This was a
target that was established last year, and I am pleased
to say that this report meets those criteria. This report is
guided by common principles in sustainability reporting
in our industry, and the best available data as reported by
the San Dimas mine. In 2013 we will begin implementing
a materiality process with an internal assessment of
materiality (or determining what is important to our
stakeholders). Over the medium term we will broaden the
discussions to include various external stakeholder groups.
This is a long-term goal, aimed at building a culture of
continual improvement in sustainability throughout a
growing Primero.

S
ustainability is an integral component of our
company-wide strategy. Our established
sustainability program guides us in policy and
decisions regarding environmental protection, the
health and safety of our people, and the socio-economic
development of our host communities. We are committed
to embedding sustainability in all our daily actions. Our
goal is to continuously improve workplace health and
safety and environmental performance, and to share the
benefits of mining with local communities.
In 2013, as we become a two-mine company, we will
be expanding our sustainability team and program, and
working toward defining a company-wide sustainability
framework that will guide us in standardizing sustainability
practices across all operations.
We strive to maintain our well-established safety-focused
culture among our employees, contractors and visitors.
This includes continually improving working conditions
and conserving the health and physical safety of all our
employees. It extends to preserving the environment
and safeguarding the health of the inhabitants of the
communities in which we operate, who in the future could
become our employees.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
Our operating practices are governed by the principles set
out in our Health and Safety Policy and our corporate Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code is applicable
to all directors, officers and employees. It embodies the
commitment of Primero and our subsidiaries to conduct
business in accordance with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations and the highest ethical standards. The
complete Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available
in the Corporate Governance section of the Primero
website (www.primeromining.com).
HEALTH, SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
Sustainability practices are the responsibility of the Board
of Directors and the Health, Safety and Environment
Committee (HSEC). The purpose of the HSEC is to
review and recommend corporate policies and programs
and monitor activities as they relate to health, safety,
environment and social matters affecting communities
where the Company conducts operations. The HSEC
reports to the Board. Two out of the three gentlemen on
the HSEC are independent members of our Board, the third
is Joseph Conway, President and CEO, two HSEC members
are over 50 years of age and two are Canadian nationals
while the third is a Mexican national.
Our internal weekly and quarterly reporting tracks key
HSEC performance indicators, including human resources,
health and safety performance, environmental monitoring,
compliance with permits, materials inputs and outputs,
and community relations activities. The complete
HSEC guidelines are available on the Primero website
(www.primeromining.com).
We invite HSEC-related recommendations or direction
from shareholders, employees or other stakeholders at
our dedicated email address:
sustainability@primeromining.com. In the future, we
hope to develop a process for shareholder resolutions, or
other mechanisms, to give minor shareholders a way to
offer their opinions. We also hope to develop a process
for informing and consulting employees about working
relationships, with formal representation bodies such
as organisation-level ‘work councils’, and employee
representation in the HSEC.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Primero respects internationally proclaimed human rights,
and strives to ensure that we are not complicit in human
rights abuses.
Ethical, Transparent Governance

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AND FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
All Primero workers enjoy the right to freedom of
association as provided by applicable labour law. The
San Dimas mine has a trade union, and at the end of
2012, approximately 11.5% of San Dimas employees were
covered by a joint committee, and 45.6% of San Dimas
Employees were unionized. We do not believe that the
right to exercise freedom of association and collective
bargaining is at risk at any Primero location.
WORKPLACE DIVERSITY,
NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUITY
At Primero, we do not discriminate on the basis of race,
religion, ethnicity, national origin, colour, gender, age,
sexual orientation, citizenship, veteran status, marital
status or disability. Harassment, including sexual, physical
and verbal, is prohibited. We do not allow forced or
compulsory labour.
We do not allow child labour, as defined by the
International Finance Corporation (IFC) as “work by
children that is economically or likely to be hazardous or
to interfere with the child’s education, or to be harmful to
the child’s health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or
social development”. Primero will not knowingly employ
a person who is under the legal age of employment,
or where that employment would contravene the IFC
definition of child labour. There were no incidents of child
labour reported to the Company in 2012, nor were any
operations considered to have significant risk for incidents
of child labour.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
In 2012, there were no legal actions taken against the
Company for anti-competitive behaviour. There was no
form of non-monetary sanction taken against the site
during the reporting period.
Two fines were filed against the Company in 2012, both
relating to a tailings spill that occurred, due to a broken
pipe in the Cupias tailings dam (see the Environment-
Tailings section of this report for details). As a result,
PROFEPA (the Mexican environmental authority, the
Procuraduria Federal de Proteccions al Ambiente)
issued recommendations and Primero took a number of
corrective actions. CNA (the water authority, Comisión
Nacional del Agua) fined Primero $93,500 pesos, which
the Company promptly paid. PROFEPA also notified the
Company of a $31,200 peso fine, which Primero has filed
a motion seeking to void. At the time of printing, this issue
had not been resolved.
WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY
Our corporate Whistleblower Policy allows any employee
to communicate a concern or complaint confidentially and
anonymously, with the expectation of a timely response
and the assurance that there will be no retribution or
negative consequences. We provide a confidential email
address (reportline@primeromining.com) and a toll-free
complaint reporting hotline (1-877-508-5716) which is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

At Primero, we believe that sustainability is fundamental to
our success. Our prosperity depends on our performance -
at the corporate level and in our relation to our host
communities - in the three pillars of sustainability: economic
achievement, community engagement and
environmental stewardship.

O
ur people are our most valuable asset, and we
treat people fairly and without discrimination,
with full regard for their human rights. We know
that our success depends on the efforts of skilled, hard-
working people, and in return we provide ongoing safety
and rescue training, and strive to maintain a safety-aware
work culture in which everyone is continually reminded
of the importance of keeping themselves and their
colleagues healthy and injury-free.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Our commitment to safety, health and welfare includes
our employees, contractors and the visitors to our site,
and extends to everyone in nearby communities. In
2012, tremendous effort was spent on improvements to
the mine’s health and safety management system, and
on improving the safety and security behaviour of our
staff, through education and training, and refinements
to policies and procedures that promote safety.
HEALTH AND SAFETY GOVERNANCE
At the San Dimas mine, we operate a number of
committees and groups whose purpose is to maintain a
safety-first culture and monitor safety performance.
Central Safety Security Committee is a Formal Health
and Safety Committee that guides our Health and Safety
Administration system. The committee is chaired by
the mine’s General Manager and includes operations
and services superintendents (permanent members)
and area heads, supervisors and employees (temporary
members). The committee meets on a monthly basis to
discuss potential risks and preventive measures, and to
choose a safety “employee of the month”.
Documentary System Subcommittee is an 18-member
subcommittee that has joint management/labour
representation and defines safety-related work
procedures and instructions.
Building our People

We know that our success depends on the efforts of
skilled, hard-working people, and in return we provide
ongoing safety and rescue training, and strive to maintain a
safety-aware work culture in which everyone is continually
reminded of the importance of keeping themselves and their
colleagues healthy and injury-free.

Preventive Observations Sub-Committee detects
unsafe acts and conditions and follows up until they
are corrected. In 2012, 4,588 individual “Preventative
Observations” were reported and corrected. There were
also 11 tours of operational areas by multi-functional
groups. Their submitted observations were followed
by 82% verified compliance. This committee is at the
facility level or higher.
Prevention Circles have been formed at San Dimas
to develop accident prevention solutions related to
rock fall. These groups help monitor and advise on
occupational safety programs.
Accident Incident Investigation Sub-Committee
analyzes and investigates events of potential risk. In 2012,
thirteen incident and accident investigations took place
and several meetings were held to improve processes and
follow-up on recommendations. Seventy eight percent
compliance with recommendations was observed.
COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
Primero participates in a Self-Management Program on
Health Safety in the Workplace, in compliance with
the Mexican Secretariat of Labour Social Welfare
(Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social). The results of
the Secretariat’s evaluation in 2012 were:
Health Safety in the Workplace Management System:
97.3% compliant
Health Safety in the Workplace Standards:
95.8% compliant
HEALTH AND SAFETY PERFORMANCE
The mining industry recognizes the dangers inherent in
the type of work we do. Accordingly, we place enormous
emphasis on safe work practices and training – efforts
which have resulted in a steady year-on-year decline in
overall accident frequency.

However we regret to report a tragic accident that resulted
in a fatality at the San Dimas mine in 2012. We responded
by commissioning a complete overhaul of our safety

procedures, followed by a safety retraining program for
the entire workforce. Our objective is to become a zero
harm operation.
We seek to be recognized as an employer of choice by offering
competitive wages, above-average benefits, as well as by
preferentially hiring locally and recognizing and rewarding
employee performance.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE
The San Dimas mine has a history of strong emergency-
preparedness practices, and maintains a specially-trained
rescue team, that is trained and equipped to handle nearly
any type of emergency that could occur in an underground
mine. Rescue team members receive specialized training
in first aid, mine rescue and rope rescues including
rappelling and vertical rescue.
The San Dimas rescue team won first place in the Mine
Rescue and Bench Test during the Rescue Brigade
Competition held in Durango City. This is the seventh
year in a row in which our team has won recognition
for outstanding performance in national and regional
competitions.
HEALTH PROTECTION AND TRAINING
In addition to injury prevention, the San Dimas mine’s
Integral Safety System is intended to improve the
health and welfare of our workers, their families and the
surrounding communities. The system seeks to identify
and prevent sickness through ongoing monitoring and
check-ups, including:
Preventive programs for disease detection
Epidemiological disease-detection programs for all
employees exposed to noise, dust, hazardous chemical
substances, etc
Biological environmental monitoring
Annual medical exams
Anti-doping and alcohol tests for workers
This is the seventh year in a row in which the
San Dimas rescue team has won recognition for outstanding
performance in national and regional competitions.

San Dimas maintains on-site hospital facilities with x-ray,
ultrasound, a surgery room and clinical lab, which are
available for all employees and contractors. To the best
of the Company’s knowledge, there were no workers who
are involved in occupational activities who have a high
incidence or high risk of specific diseases.
A monthly safety campaign focuses on a specific topic.
The campaigns include awareness talks, training courses
and revision of standards. Topics have included among
others: lock out – tag out, defensive driving, safety in work
at heights and safe handling of sodium cyanide.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO LABOUR
PRACTICES
Throughout Primero we foster a culture of inclusivity
and acceptance of gender, race, cultural background,
age, religion and disability. We are committed to fair and
equitable labour practices in every operation and office.
Nearly half (45.6%) of our mining workforce is unionized.
In this traditional mining region, and everywhere we
operate, we seek to be recognized as an employer of
choice by offering competitive wages, above-average
benefits, as well as by preferentially hiring locally and
recognizing and rewarding employee performance.

WORKER AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Primero runs an annual training program for
superintendents, area managers, supervisors and workers.
The training is developed based on the needs of each
department and depending on the area, training can be
taken in person or online. Topics include:
Workshops in electrical maintenance, mechanical and
hydraulic equipment for mine
Workshops in handling explosives and hazardous
substances
Human development workshops
Management workshops
Leadership workshops
Mine rescue crew workshops
“Tools for the job” workshops
Primero carries out an annual performance evaluation
for every employee, which covers personal development
objectives, skills and abilities. The company has standard
policies for providing benefits to employees who study
or teach. For unionized workers, a worker-preparation
scholarship is provided in one of the clauses of the
union’s agreement.
COMMUNITY TRAINING
The College of Professional Technical Education
(CONALEP) trade school in Tayoltita was established in
2004 by the San Dimas mine in cooperation with the state
government. The San Dimas mine funded the construction
and equipping of the school and provided 50% of teachers’
salaries for the first five years of operation. Its purpose is to
improve the career prospects for local youth, and provide a
source of trained young professionals for the mine.
CONALEP’s first class of 37 students graduated the
Metallurgy and Electromechanical programs in 2007. To
date, approximately 130 students have graduated, 60% of
whom have joined the Primero workforce.
In terms of assistance programs to support employees
who are retiring or who have been terminated, Primero
provides severance pay.

W
e at Primero are constantly aware that
every action we take has an effect on
nearby communities. We are grateful
that we are welcome among them and feel the
obligation to improve conditions for local communities
where possible.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We are committed to maintaining a vibrant,
economically diverse local community. The San Dimas
mine has brought significant infrastructure upgrades
to the community, in the form of improvements
to roads, electrical and communication systems
and medical facilities. Although these were
developed to serve the mining operations, they
are shared by the entire community. In addition to
these benefits, we actively contribute to a broad
range of social and community initiatives, often in
collaboration with local and regional authorities.
In the larger community, we are helping to create a
sustainable local economy through small business
development, and have helped launch many new small
businesses including a greenhouse garden, bakery,
laundromat, chicken farm and sewing centre. We have
contributed to the construction of sports facilities for
the community’s benefit. We support local health care
facilities and subsidize childcare, to help our working-
parent employees and the communities at large. We
promote the growth of a self-sustaining local economy
by helping to develop new, non-mining businesses.

Since 2006, more than 260 students have graduated from
the program.
Primero and the Public Security Secretariat provided a
School for Parents workshop on teen education. This six-
month program (three sessions per month) was attended
by a pilot group of 60 workers.
Over 1,300 students attended workshops and
presentations on addiction and addiction prevention. Over
150 hours of prevention activities were delivered, directed
at primary, secondary and high school levels.
TRAINING WOMEN
We promote the economic status of women by proactively
hiring female workers in all areas, and we support the
training of women for heavy-duty equipment operations.
The “Miner Women” project aims to increase the number
of women employed in all areas of the San Dimas
operation, and to elevate their status and improve their
quality of life. Women have been recruited and trained as
specialized machinery operators, especially large, heavy-
duty equipment and electro-hydraulic jumbos. Graduates
of the program become significant financial contributors,
and in some cases, the family’s sole income earner.
For the third year in a row, we collaborated with
SEMARNAT (the Mexican Secretariat of Environment
and Natural Resources) to deliver a workshop on “Product
manufacturing using solid wastes”. Forty women (wives
of mine workers) from the Las Truchas community
participated, and benefited from a three-week temporary
employment program.
CHILD CARE
With the change of administration of the Federal
Government, the daycare facilities program that operated
in Tayoltita through the Secretariat of Social Development
(SEDESOL) was closed. One of the factors in this decision
was the low attendance in recent months by children of
the community. The facilities were returned to Primero.
SEDESOL is willing to support the reinstatement of the
daycare program should the Company and community
request it.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
In 2012, Primero delivered 122 environmental-education
talks in primary, elementary and secondary schools,
reaching a total of 2,639 students. Another 56 talks were
given to company workers.

Subjects covered included: Piaxtla River Water Quality;
the Tailings Filtering Process; the Piaxtla River Cleaning
Campaign; Hazardous Waste Management, Saving Energy,
Saving Water and Global Warming.
CULTURE AND RECREATION
Recreational, cultural and sporting activities were provided
for employees and their families in the mining camp.
Sports activities ranged from weightlifting, aerobic training
and taekwondo to tennis and swimming. Cultural and
recreational activities included painting, tailoring, and
hair-cutting workshops.
COMMUNITY SURVEY
In 2011, we conducted a community needs assessment
survey, intended to determine the economic, social and
cultural situation and needs of the San Dimas community.
925 surveys were completed, representing 95% of the
local community. The results formed the basis of our 2011 -
2015 community plan and annual surveys will be repeated
until 2015, in order to evaluate the results of the programs
that we implement.
After 2015, we will continue the annual survey to gather
information on general family relationships, health,
community and addiction.
PRIMERO MAGAZINE
In 2012 we launched Primero Magazine, a bimonthly
magazine that serves as a communication channel to the
workers of San Dimas and their community. It promotes
achievements and supports the community’s personal and
socio-cultural growth. The six issues that were produced in
2012 were very well received by readers.
MINER’S DAY OPEN HOUSE
On July 11, Miner’s Day, the Company’s facilities were
devoted to a mini-exposition, in which the community
and workers’ families were invited on a tour to view the
machinery and equipment. The tour allowed children to
see their parents’ workplace.

The “Miner Women” project aims to increase the number
of women employed in all areas of the San Dimas operation,
and to elevate their status and improve their quality of life.
ESR RECOGNITION
In April 2013, we were once again designated a “Socially
Responsible Enterprise” (ESR) by the Mexican Centre for
Philanthropy (Centro Mexicano para la Filantropia). We
also received ESR designation in 2012.
The ESR designation has been earned by fewer than
774 companies across Mexico. It recognizes companies
operating in Mexican territory that make a voluntary
and public commitment to manage their activities
in a socially responsible way, as part of their culture
and business strategy. It indicates that a company is
committed to sustainability in four key areas:
1. Business ethics
2. Care and preservation of the environment
3. Quality of life in the Company
4. Bonds with the community

O
ur environmental focus is to act with
responsibility and transparency in developing
mining projects and to proactively seek to
minimize the footprint of our operations. Precautionary
measures are taken to avoid damage to ecosystems
wherever possible. When adverse impacts occur,
integrated programs are implemented to promote the
recovery of the affected ecosystems.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our mining, exploration and development activities
are subject to the applicable environmental laws and
regulations, which include planning for the eventual
closure of the mine and reclaiming the mining
properties after mining and processing has ceased.
At all times, we manage the San Dimas mine
in compliance with, or in excess of, all relevant
environmental standards. The Environmental
Protecting the Environment
Management System (EMS) in place at San Dimas
helps reduce or eliminate environmental impacts
through precautionary measures that mitigate damage
and promote recovery and reclamation. Our system is
widely respected for its effectiveness in identifying and
avoiding, reducing or eliminating the environmental
impacts of mining and processing. Our aim at San
Dimas is to match the environmental standards of the
leading gold and silver producers.
Recently, Primero was granted the “Clean Industry”
Certification by the Procuraduria Federal de Proteccion
al Ambiente (Mexican EPA).
ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS
In the past, all of the energy consumed in the District
of San Dimas was provided by the Federal Commission
of Electricity (Comisión Federal de Electricidad y
Generadores) with the exception of back-up diesel

Our Environmental Management System (EMS)
is widely respected for its effectiveness in identifying
and avoiding, reducing or eliminating the environmental
impacts of mining and processing.

In 2012, a Phase II expansion was approved, that will
increase capacity from its current 50 MW/h to
approximately 70 MW/h. This would support mine
expansion and allow excess power to be sold into the
Mexican national energy grid.
Primero uses both direct (e.g. primary energy sources
such as diesel and gasoline) and indirect (energy that
is produced by converting primary energy into other
forms (e.g. electricity)) energy. The tables below
outline the different sources that are used at
San Dimas.
generators. In 2008, the Las Truchas hydroelectric
plant began operation. Today, our San Dimas mine
energy use and GHG emissions are significantly
decreased by our use of hydroelectric power from the
Las Truchas hydroelectric plant, which is owned and
operated by Primero.
The Las Truchas dam and power plant harness the
power potential of the Las Truchas basin to provide the
mine with economical, reliable and clean power. The 34
kVA power line runs 42 km from the dam to the San
Dimas mine. In 2010 a Phase I expansion was
connected to the Federal Commission of Electricity’s
supply system.

Increased production in 2012 is largely responsible for the higher energy use and Greenhouse Gas emissions.

The drought of 2011 led to the use of diesel generators
in 2012 due to the short supply of water that affected
operations of the Las Truchas hydroelectric dam. To
determine greenhouse gas emissions at San Dimas,
energy consumption information for the different areas
of the mine is taken from an internal register. These
numbers are subsequently multiplied by the National
Greenhouse Accounts Factors to convert fuel amounts
into atmospheric emissions (in CO2
e). These CO2
conversion factors are the same factors that were used
when the mine was owned by Goldcorp.

CLEAN INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION
For years, San Dimas has been “Clean Industry”
certified by PROFEPA. In 2012 the Clean Industry
certification audit was completed and we passed with
100%. The report was submitted to PROFEPA and
certification was granted in early 2013.
The San Dimas operation has also been engaged in a
voluntary self-evaluation program for many years, with
the aim of improving performance by identifying
deficiencies, measuring performance and implementing
improvement programs to remain in compliance with all
of the relevant regulations. As Mexican laws and
regulations evolve and become more closely aligned
with world standards, we at Primero are committed to
remaining in compliance.
AIR QUALITY MEASUREMENT
In 2012, we engaged a third-party contractor (On-Site
Analítica de México, S. A de C.V.) to carry out an
atmospheric study of the San Dimas operation.
The study confirmed that:
Particulates from mining processes were in compliance
with regulations (NOM-043-SEMARNAT-1993)
Emissions from the plant’s burners were in compliance
with regulations (NOM-085 - SEMARNAT-1994, for
burners with heating capacity of less than 5250 Mj/h).
WATER
Water management is a prime concern at Primero.
Rainwater is scarce in the San Dimas region and our
objective at all times is to minimize water use through
recycling, re-use and treatment. In 2012, 501,300 m3
of
water were recycled (e.g. returned from the tailings
dam), up from 281,000 m3
in 2011.

In 2012, we submitted two waste management plans
to SEMARNAT:
The Hazardous Waste Management Plan was
developed with the aim of planning, reducing,
collecting, storing, transporting, and performing final
disposal of hazardous residues generated by service,
exploration, mining, and extraction of gold and silver
minerals from the mine site.
The Mining Waste Management Plan implements
a comprehensive management system for mining
waste materials, such as waste rock and tailings, and
implementing operational techniques for reusing and

WASTE MANAGEMENT
At San Dimas, waste materials are generated. Non-
hazardous process waste includes the rock and
materials that are removed in order to access the
mineralized ore, and the tailings and waste rock that
are left after the valuable gold and silver mineral

batteries, etc).

reducing them. It also ensures that areas destined
for final disposal comply with safety measures to
ensure the stability of the deposit, preventing the
dispersion of acid drainage, leachate and runoffs to
the environment – including monitoring.
In 2012 we also submitted a plan for Special Waste
management (electronics, scrap metals and tires) to
the State of Durango’s Ministry of Natural Resources.
This plan should significantly reduce the generation of
special waste and ensure appropriate disposal, thus
preventing environmental damage.
TAILINGS
Tailings management at San Dimas is challenged by the
district’s rugged terrain and steep canyons. Following
a number of improvements relating to the stability of
the dams and the management of our tailings over a
number of years, our tailings sites fully comply with
international guidelines.
At the Tayoltita tailings operation, significant capital
improvements have been made in recent years.
Pumps and pumping systems have been upgraded.
Spill containment systems have been improved and a
spill recovery trough installed. The tailings dam area
was fenced to prevent access by people and animals
and further improvements to the dam and operating
practices are planned.
In the Piaxtla River, downstream of the Tayoltita tailings
deposits, water quality monitoring has not shown any
environmental impact, although in periods of heavy
rain, the suspended solids in the water increase an
average of 43,000 tonnes of solution per month, which
was recycled into the leaching process.
In January 2012, a tailings spill occurred, due to
a broken pipe in the Cupias tailings dam. Tailings
containing 5 ppm cyanide were spilled into the Piaxtla
River, affecting a total area of 2.5 kilometres. The fault
Following a number of improvements relating to the stability
of the dams and the management of our tailings, our tailings
sites fully comply with international guidelines.

Biodiversity and Aquatic Monitoring
In 2012 we continued to engage a third-party consultant
(Environmental Consulting and Technology Inc. de CV) to
monitor water quality and the abundance and diversity of
aquatic life in the Piaxtla River, at five monitoring stations
upstream and downstream from the San Dimas mine.
At all monitoring stations, the aquatic habitat was sub-
optimal, but its characteristics were suitable to support
the epifauna and fish populations.
Through these studies of aquatic life, the consultants have
identified and reported fish species that were not thought
to be in the Piaxtla River, and Primero has provided
scientific data to the CONABIO database, of the National
Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity.
Mine Closure and Reclamation
Every mine has a finite life and as mining progresses
at San Dimas, we continue to update our plans for the
mine’s eventual closure. In our financial statements we
have accounted for the reclamation and closure costs for
the mine, which ensure that the lands and water will be
returned to a safe and environmentally sound state on
termination of mining.
While operations continue, we practice progressive
reclamation of any lands that are no longer used for
mining activities. In 2011 we reclaimed three of the older
tailings dams near the Tayoltita mill, and used the land
as a soccer field, a softball field, and a garden nursery. In
2012, reclamation was completed on the tailings facilities
of the San Antonio Mill, which was closed in 2003.

was corrected and the relevant water management and
environmental authorities, CNA and PROFEPA, were
notified. The municipality of San Dimas considered
the incident to be localized and under control and
stated that the efficiency of Primero’s emergency
response limited the damages to the death of small
concentrations of fish, without any impact on
other animals.
PROFEPA issued recommendations, and all their
requests were implemented. Primero’s corrective
actions included the design and construction of a
containment structure for the tailings pipe, which will
be fully operational by June 2013 once installation of a
second new tailing pump is complete.
In September, CNA fined Primero $93,500 pesos,
which the Company promptly paid. Following the final
CNA resolution, PROFEPA notified the Company of a
$31,200 peso fine for non-compliance to a “hazardous
waste” regulation. Primero filed a motion with the
H. Tribunal De Justicia Fiscal and Administrativa in
November to void PROFEPA’s resolution. At the time of
printing, this issue had not been resolved.

in closing
In this, our second annual Sustainability Report, we at Primero are demonstrating our
commitment to improving the quality and thoroughness of our reporting standards and
practices. These efforts have resulted in the first Primero Sustainability Report to meet
the Global Reporting Initiative 3.1 Guidelines, Level C.
As we move forward, we hope to build a culture of continual improvement in sustainability
throughout a growing Primero. In this report we have set numerous performance targets
for 2013 and beyond, based on an ongoing initiative for improvement in the scope,
depth and transparency of our reporting, to meet the increasing expectations of all
of our stakeholders.
