<br />Cross Gold Mine <br />December 2024 ERP-9 <br /> <br /> <br />2.2 Stage 2 Operations - Multiple Responder <br />Stage 2 response operations are coordinated site-wide operations involving multiple personnel. Stage 2 <br />response operations are initiated during the notification phase of any emergency response and proceed <br />through the three distinct Stage 2 activity phases of Alert, Mobilization, and Field Actions. <br />2.2.1 Stage 2 Alert <br />The sounding of the Emergency Alarm Horn (Fire Alarm) during the Notification Phase of an <br />emergency situation constitutes the Alert phase of a Stage 2 response operation and signals the <br />beginning of a Stage 2 site response. All EFR and non-EFR personnel on the surface are to <br />immediately proceed to a designated assembly point when the Emergency Alarm Horn (Fire Alarm) is <br />sounded. <br />2.2.2 Stage 2 Mobilization <br />All emergency responses to an emergency situation at the Cross Gold Mine will continue through Stage <br />2 Mobilization. Mobilization for Stage 2 response operations consists of the assembly and organization <br />of site surface personnel for coordinated response operations and will terminate at the end of <br />mobilization if the emergency situation is successfully resolved at the First Responder level. The site <br />will demobilize, and the Remediation Phase of the Emergency Response Plan will be executed if the <br />situation is resolved at the First Responder level. <br />Mobilization: Assembly <br />All surface personnel are required to report to a designated assembly point when the alert signal is <br />sounded. The primary assembly point for EFR personnel during a surface emergency is the Fire Alarm <br />Control Panel located on the outside wall of the mine office. The primary assembly point for non-EFR <br />personnel is the mine Office and Dry Room. The Water Treatment Plant is the alternative assembly <br />area if the primary assembly points are inaccessible. <br />Mobilization: Basic PPE Requirements <br />All personnel reporting for Stage 2 response operations will first don hard hats, safety glasses, and <br />steel-toed safety shoes. This is the minimum personnel protective equipment (PPE) required during <br />response operations. EFR personnel who are not wearing the minimum PPE listed above will be <br />restricted to support functions only during Stage 2 operations. <br />Mobilization: Mine Foreman (Emergency Coordinator EC) <br />Provide an initial situation report to all response personnel at the primary assembly point. <br />Review the incident evaluation, determine a preliminary course of action, and delegate specific duties <br />to response personnel. <br />Establish an incident command post at a secure location near the incident location.
