Argonaut Gold Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Alamos Gold Inc.

As of the latest available data, Argonaut Gold Inc. does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is classified as a merged entity, inheriting its climate commitments and performance metrics from Alamos Gold Inc. at a cascade level of 1. Currently, Argonaut Gold Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. This absence of specific targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the mining industry, where carbon emissions can be significant, it is crucial for companies like Argonaut Gold Inc. to adopt robust climate commitments and transparent reporting practices. This would not only align with global sustainability goals but also enhance their operational resilience in a rapidly changing regulatory environment.
