In all of its operations, Centerra strives to meet the highest international standards...In Mongolia, Centerra was closely involved in the development of the ground-breaking Responsible Mining Initiative and it continues to give the Initiative strong support...In close cooperation with its host communities, Boroo has also been deeply involved in social investment...In sum, Centerra Gold has established a very positive track record in Mongolia, and has enjoyed strong support from its host communities...Against this background, I hope it is evident that Centerra takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously...Centerra has not advocated and would not advocate any weakening of Mongolia's environmental standards...It is regrettable that some individuals chose to fire rifles at our facilities at Gatsuurt in 2010, putting our unarmed Mongolian security team at risk. This violent behaviour was totally unprovoked...If there are differences of view, they should be resolved through dialogue rather than violence...
