• pre-school play café – a weekly event that encourages pre-school parents and carers to form important early relationships with the school and teaching staff. Ronald McDonald House Charities As part of our three-year agreement with Ronald McDonald House Charities, IGO sponsored the 2021 Up All Night walking event held on 6 March 2021 and the event was another amazing success, raising over A$1.6 million. Our people made an incredible effort towards the cause with our largest team walking - over 55 IGO employees got involved and raised over A$83,000. This is a key event in IGO’s calendar, and we look forward to doing it all again in 2022! Royal Flying Doctor Service WA In IGO’s second year of funding the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), IGO supported the Flying Doctor Day campaign as a Matched Giving Partner. Flying Doctor Day celebrates the anniversary of the first Royal Flying Doctor Service flight 93 years ago on 17 May 1928. IGO’s funding of A$75,000 helped the RFDS raise over A$620,000 in just 24 hours, higher than the anticipated target of A$500,000. IGO employees also participated in the Street Appeal Day, volunteering their time to help raise funds and awareness of RFDS in the Perth metropolitan area by selling merchandise and engaging with the community. The Street Appeal Day raised a total of A$15,358 through donations and merchandise sales. All funds raised will boost RFDS financial stability and be used to support RFDS 24/7 health and emergency services to assist people living, working or holidaying in Western Australia who find themselves in critical and sometimes life-threatening circumstances. Stars Foundation The Stars Foundation (formally Girls Academy) at Esperance Senior High School helps provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls with the necessary tools to further engage in their education and assist in achieving their goals. IGO has been supporting the program at the school since 2017. Teach Learn Grow IGO has been supporting Teach Learn Grow (TLG) for over seven years and continued its support in FY21, entering into a three-year agreement with a funding commitment of A$150,000 over the period. TLG have had an impact at over 40 schools in Western Australia and New South Wales over the past decade and more than 7,000 disadvantaged children from rural and remote Australian communities have participated in the TLG programs, improving their educational outcomes and aspirations. Further to IGO’s ongoing support, we are proud to support TLG’s inaugural Gala Ball as title sponsor which celebrates the organisation’s 10-year anniversary. All proceeds from the Ball will be directed back to TLG’s key one- on-one tutoring and mentoring programs for primary school aged children living in rural and remote Australian communities. TLG was also the proud recipient of the Community Organisation of the Year Award at the Volunteering WA Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Dandjoo Darbalung is a high-calibre wraparound residential program for Indigenous students to succeed at graduating with a tertiary qualification at all five universities in Western Australia. IGO have supported the Dandjoo Darbalung Program for three years in a joint partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Sandfire and Barminco. The partnership and the support of the program was a finalist for the Community Award at the 2020 AMEC Awards. In October 2020, IGO arranged and financed a mentoring trip for a group of Dandjoo Darbalung students to visit Esperance Senior High School and Norseman District High School to share their education journeys with the students. Following their visit to the schools, the group travelled to Nova to get some hands-on experience working in the mining industry. Ben Lewis, the Director of Dandjoo Darbalung said, ‘The students had an amazing couple of days and felt lucky to have the experience – Nova really looked after us!.’ After spending time interacting and building meaningful connections with mentors throughout the trip, some of the students are now considering a career in the mining industry, and our mentors hope to keep in touch with the students to provide future guidance and support. It is experiences such as these that are so important to show students what working in the mining industry is really like, and the many parts that make up a mining operation. IGO are proud of our partnership with Dandjoo Darbalung and is a true example of us living our value to Be Better Together. IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021— 51
