合规声明：

Compliance Statement with Requirement:

我方已完全遵照第1步：建立强有力的公司管理体系。

We have fully complied with Step 1: Establish strong company management systems.

公司政策：

Company Policy:

公司于2019年8月10日重新修订并发布了《白银供应链尽职调查规则》（以下简称‘调查规则’），该调查规则与2013年《经济合作与发展组织受冲突影响和高风险地区矿产可靠供应链尽职调查指南》附件II规定的模式一致。该调查规则规定了公司内部的组织构架及责任、白银供应链的风险评判标准、尽职调查、交易监控、文件和记录的保存（在财年结束后至少5年）、培训、沟通等做了规定。在该调查规则的基础上，制定了《供应商管理政策》、《白银尽责调查管理制度》《风险评估流程》、以及《风险来料缓解策略》，使得在管理组织、制度、操作上有据可依。

The Company revised and issued the Silver Supply Chains Due Diligence Rules (hereinafter referred to as the Due Diligence Rules) on August 10, 2019, which is consistent with the model set out in Annex II of OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas in 2013. These due diligence rulesstipulate the organizational structure and responsibilities within the Company, the risk evaluation criteria for silver supply chains, due diligence, transaction monitoring, preservation of documents and records (at least 5 years after the end of the financial year), training and communication, etc. Based on these due diligence rules, the Supplier Management Policy, the Silver Due Diligence Management System, the Risk Evaluation Process, and the Risk Incoming Mitigation Strategy are formulated, providing foundation for the organization management, system and operation.

2019年公司政策明确，制度有效，确保了公司白银尽责体系的有效运行。

In 2019, the clear policy and effective system of the Company provides guarantee for the effective operation of the silver responsible system.

Internal Management Structure:

公司根据《白银供应链尽职调查规则》建立白银合规小组，明确了管理岗位以及对应的职责，公司设置了一名合规总监，五名合规专员。公司的合规总监由林锡廷（副总工程师）担任，从事白银精炼生产加工、经营管理工作18年，拥有丰富的行业经验。原料采购，财务，质检，贵金属库管理员设置合规专员。

The Company has established a silver compliance team to define the management positions and corresponding responsibilities as per the Silver Supply Chains Due Diligence Rules, with one Compliance Director and five Compliance Officers. The Compliance Director of the Company is Lin Xiting (Deputy Chief Engineer), who has been engaged in the silver refining, production, processing and operation and management for 18 years with rich experience in such field. The Compliance Officer is set up in the Raw Material Procurement Department, Finance Department, Quality Control Department and precious metal storekeeper.

合规总监主持全面负责公司白银供应链尽职调查工作。监督检查白银供应链尽职调查过程，并评估尽职调查是否充分进行；对已识别出风险的白银供应链或交易采取恰当的措施减少风险直至消除风险；及时向公司高管层汇报并采取严格的控制措施；定期对员工进行责任白银准则和供应链尽职调查政策培训；负责起草和修订公司白银供应链相关的政策和方针；为公司高管层履行尽职调查责任提供必要的准确信息。

The Compliance Director is comprehensively in charge of the due diligence of the Company’s silver supply chain. He should supervise and inspect the due diligence process in the silver supply chain and assess whether due diligence is fully conducted; take appropriate measures to reduce risks until they are eliminated for silver supply chains or transactions with identified risks; timely report to the Company’s senior management and take strict control measures; regularly conduct training of employees on responsible silver guidelines and supply chain due diligence policies; draft and revise the Company’s relevant policies and guidelines of silver supply chain; provide necessary and accurate information for the Company’s senior management to fulfill their due diligence responsibilities.

合规专员负责日常工作，设置于原料采购部门的两名合规官员负责在签订合同前组织实施对供应商进行评估，监督与合格供应商的交易，并进行年度重估。并在业务谈判和原料采购过程中组织贯彻和落实LBMA的白银尽职调查理念。

The Compliance Officer is responsible for daily work. Two Compliance Officers set up in the Raw Material Procurement Department are responsible for organizing and implementing the evaluation of suppliers before the conclusion of the contract, supervising the transactions with qualified suppliers and conducting annual reevaluation, as well as implementing the LBMA’s silver due diligence concepts in the process of business negotiation and raw material procurement.

设置于财务的合规专员，负责供应商、销售及代加工的合同审批，从财务专业的角度把控合同和资金；对相关的业务、资金活动进行监督；负责金银物料在精炼厂内部的管理。

The Compliance Officer set up in the Finance Department is responsible for the contract approval of suppliers, sales staff and processing agents, controlling the contracts and funds from the finance perspective, supervising the relevant business and fund activities, and managing the gold and silver materials in the refinery.

设置与综合部及安保运输部门的两名合规专员其中一名负责培训，并协助风控官制定公司尽责管理的各项制度建设；另一名则负责接洽原料进入精炼厂或离开精炼厂，实施白银物流运输过程中的尽责工作。

One of the two Compliance Officers set up in the General Affairs Department and Security and Transportation Department is responsible for training and assisting the Risk Officer in formulating the system construction of the Company’s duty management; while the other is responsible for the raw materials into or out of the refinery, and fulfilling the duties in the process of silver logistics transportation.

2019年，华信稀贵严格执行《白银供应链尽职调查规则》，对供应商进行风险尽职调查。对所有交易进行监控，以避免与高风险供应商建立关系。同时，合规官员对所有尽职调查发现和结果进行审查，所有的银物料采购合同都经过了财务合规专员的审批以及公司首席执行官的批准。

In 2019, Hunan Huaxin Rare&Precious Metals Technology Co., Ltd followed the Silver Supply Chains Due Diligence Rules strictly and conducted risk-based due diligence investigation for suppliers. All the transactions were monitored to avoid building relationship with the suppliers associated with high risk. Meanwhile, all due diligence investigation findings and results were reviewed by the Compliance Officer, and all silver material procurement contracts were approved by the Compliance Officer in the Finance Department and the Company’s CEO.

白银在精炼厂内部的流转体系：

Flow System of Silver within the Refinery:

来料：经调查后，符合公司供应商规则的供应商和客户，与公司签订合同，供应商的白银原料被运输到公司。

Incoming materials: After investigation, contracts are entered into with the suppliers meeting the Company’s requirements and customers, and then the silver raw materials of suppliers are transported to the Company.

我公司拥有专业的金银安保运输团队，负责从供应商处接洽原料到精炼厂。该团队中设置有合规专员，在这一过程中，合规专员会根据来料地址、发货地址进一步排除风险，若有异常会立即报告给风控官并拒收、拒发原料或隔离原料。到厂的原料由验收人员再复核，每批次原料给一个唯一的编号，并由验收人员在熔铸过程中取样。白银经精炼之后出售，出售给符合公司审查要求的客户，这一过程中，财务的合规专员需要审批发货单据并审查付款凭据，付款过程实名制并必须可追溯。

The Company is equipped with a professional gold and silver security transportation team, responsible for transporting raw materials from suppliers to the refinery. In this process, a Compliance Officer designed to the team will further eliminate the risk according to the incoming material address and delivery address. In case of any abnormality, the Compliance Officer will immediately report to the Risk Officer and reject to receive and to send or isolate the raw materials. The raw materials into the refinery should be rechecked by the acceptance personnel. Each batch of raw materials should be given a unique number, by which the acceptance personnel should take samples during the smelting and casting process. Silvers are sold after refining to customers meeting the Company’s review requirements. In such process, the Compliance Officer in the Finance Department is required to check the delivery documents for approval and review the payment vouchers. The payment process must be traceable with real name.

发货：根据客户需求，我们可以配送，也支持客户上门取货。

Delivery: The Company provides delivery services and also supports customers to pick-up personally as per the customers’ demand.

原料采购部门（经过合规专员初步判断合规）提供客户信息并出具发货单，财务部门（经合规专员）审查资金，押运部门（经合规专员）安排实施。上述三个环节层层把关，若押运在实施过程中发现可能存在高风险，则会立即报告并暂停发货。

The Raw Material Procurement Department (being compliant upon the Compliance Officer’s preliminary judgment) provides the customer information and issues the delivery documents, and the Finance Department (by Compliance Officer) reviews the funds, and the Escorting Department (by Compliance Officer) arranges the implementation. The above three links are checked at all levels. If high risk is found during the implementation of escorting, the delivery will be immediately suspended after reporting.

交易监控：

Transaction Monitoring:

我公司所有白银的收付款，都通过公司在银行的账户进行，不进行现金交易。这些收付款都受到银行及国家财税部门的监督。银行账户的收付款以及现金支付都层层审批，必须经过设置于财务的合规专员及公司高管审批。

All collection and payment in connection with silver of the Company were made through the Company’s bank account, no transactions by cash. These receipts and payments were supervised by the bank and the national financial and taxation departments. The collection and payment of bank account and cash payment were approved at all levels, which also got approved by the Compliance Officer in the Finance Department and the Company’s senior management.

与白银供应合约对方订约：

Engagement with Silver-supplying Counterparty:

在完成对供应商和客户风险评估之后，与供应商签订合同时，现货国内及现货国际业务部门业务人员依据设置于本部门的合规专员要求，与所有白银供应合约对方签署《LBMA合规承诺书》，并进行《问卷调查》以确保他们了解公司LBMA管理的要求、供应链政策以及所要求的承诺。在该承诺书中，白银供应合约对方应以书面形式承诺并承认，不存在与矿产开采、运输或贸易有关的严重侵犯人权行为，没有直接或间接支持非国家武装组织，没有直接或间接支持公共或私人安全部队，没有贿赂或虚假误报矿产来源，没有洗钱。此外，还向政府支付与受冲突影响地区和高风险地区的矿产开采、贸易和出口有关的税费和特许权使用费。

After the risk evaluation on suppliers and customers is completed and at the time of signing the contract with suppliers, the business personnel of the Domestic and International Business Departments of Spot Stock should require all silver-supplying counterparties to sign the Letter of Commitment for LBMA Compliance as required by the Compliance Officer set in their own departments, and conduct the questionnaire survey to ensure that they are aware of Company’s commitment to LBMA management, the supply chain policy and respective requirements. In this letter of commitment, silver-supplying counterparties should commit to, and acknowledge in writing that there is no serious human rights abuse associated with the extraction, transport or trade of minerals, no direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups, no direct or indirect support to public or private security forces and no bribery and fraudulent misrepresentation of the origin of minerals, money laundering. Also, the payment of taxes, fees and royalties related to mineral extraction, trade and export from conflict-affected and high-risk areas are paid to governments.

2019年度签约的所有供应商均签署了相关的承诺书。

All suppliers contracted in 2019 have signed the relevant letter of commitment.

沟通机制：

Communication Mechanism:

培训：为帮助所有参与白银供应链的员工深入了解尽职调查制度，设置与综合部门的合规专员制定了培训计划。培训对象主要是含有白银物料部门的员工。此类培训计划旨在帮助有关员工深入了解《LBMA可靠白银规范》和相关工具包，包括LBMA对白银的监管要求、可靠白银供应链尽职调查管理政策和白银采购流程风险管理（风险预控、风险评估、监控和沟通机制等）。

第2步：识别和评估供应链中的风险

Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

合规声明：

Compliance Statement with Requirement:

我方已完全遵照第2步：识别和评估供应链中的风险。

We have fully complied with Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain.

一、华信稀贵有确定的识别供应链风险的流程

I. Hunan Huaxin Rare&Precious Metals Technology Co., Ltd has an identification process for identifying supply chain risks

我公司已明确供应链风险识别方法，并在此基础上制定了《LBMA白银风险评估流程》，以此风险识别程序进行风险评估。公司建立的《风险识别程序》涵盖了整个白银供应链从产地到精炼厂的全部风险，《风险识别程序》辨识了下列风险：与/白银提取、运输或交易有关的有预谋的、日益猖獗的人权侵犯行为，直接或间接支持非政府武装组织、或公共/私人安保部队的行为，对白银来源的贿赂、隐瞒欺诈行为，洗钱行为和金融恐怖活动,资助冲突的行为等.

Our company has defined the risk identification method of supply chain, and on this basis, we have formulated LBMA Silver Risk Evaluation Process, which is used for risk evaluation. The Risk Identification Process established by the Company covers all risks of the whole silver supply chain from the origin to the refinery. The Risk Identification Process identifies the following risks: premeditated and increasingly rampant human rights violations related to silver extraction, transportation or transaction, direct or indirect support for non-governmental armed organizations, or public / private security forces, bribery, fraud concealment, money laundering, financial terrorism and conflict financing of silver sources.

在评估时，调查人员依据《LBMA白银风险评估流程》收集供应商信息，包括1、供货商身份验证文件；2、供货商受益方的身份验证文件；3、检查供货商与受益方是否在政府公布的洗钱犯罪、诈骗犯或恐怖分子名单上；4、供货商的商务活动调查及财务信息调查。5、有意愿进行合作的供货商的信息。对原料供应公司的类型、注册地点和交易类型信息进行核实，并通过第三方了解该供应商的口碑信息等，以便对新出现的供应商风险进行评估。

During the evaluation, the investigators collected the supplier information in accordance with LBMA Silver Risk Evaluation Process, including 1. The supplier’s identity verification document; 2.The identity verification document of the supplier’s beneficiary; 3.Inspection of whether the supplier and beneficiary are on the list of money laundering crime, fraud or terrorist published by the government; 4.The supplier’s business activity investigation and financial information investigation. 5. Information of suppliers willing to cooperate. It is needed to verify the type, registration place and transaction type information of the raw material supply company, and understand the reputation information of the supplier by a third party, so as to assess the emerging supplier risk.

二、华信稀贵根据尽职调查的风险评估标准评估了风险

II. Hunan Huaxin Rare&Precious Metals Technoloty Co., Ltd assessed the risk according to the risk evaluation criteria of due diligence

在2019年，华信稀贵在与供应商业务关系建成之前，业务部门需要填写《白银供应链尽职调查表》，依据《供应商管理政策》和《LBMA白银风险评估流程》针对不同的原料，原有客户也定期重新进行评估，如下进行分类风险评估：

Before the establishment of the business relationship between Huaxin Non-Ferrous Metal and its suppliers in 2019, the Business Department needs to fill in the Due Diligence Questionnaire on Silver Supply Chain. In accordance with the Supplier Management Policy and LBMA Silver Risk Evaluation Process, the original customers also conduct regular re-evaluation for different raw materials as follows:

再生银：1、原料采购进出口部门需要了解国际交易对手类别、受益人，资信，财务信息，是否在政府的洗黑钱、已知诈骗分子或恐怖分子名单内等，比如是否为大型跨国银行和金商，是否为LBMA认可的供应商，以及供应商的历史负面信息等。2、国内现货部采购再生银，需要确定再生银供应商的营业执照，并了解原料来源，以及相关受益人信息，调查其从业地点，必要时实地考察收购现场。

Renewable silver: 1. The Import and Export Raw Material Purchase Department needs to know the type of international counterparties, beneficiary, credit, financial information, the information to indicate whether it is in government list on the money laundering, known fraudsters or terrorists, etc., such as whether it is large multinational banks and gold merchants, whether they are LBMA approved suppliers, and the historical negative information of suppliers, etc. 2. When renewable silver is purchased from the Domestic Spot Good department, it is necessary to determine the business license of the renewable silver supplier, understand the source of raw materials and relevant beneficiary information, investigate its employment location, and visit the acquisition site on the spot if necessary.

2019年通过以上工作，对供应商进行评估。2019年度，公司总共有白银供应商4家，都是再生银供应商家， 2019年度根据前期供应商的调查和评估，目前所有的供应商均为低风险供应商。

The supplier will be evaluated by the above work in 2019. In 2019, the Company has a total of 4 silver suppliers, all of which are renewable silver suppliers. According to the investigation and evaluation of prophase suppliers in 2019, all of the suppliers are low-risk suppliers at present.

交易监控

Transaction Monitoring

精炼厂建立并执行《交易监控控制程序》，以确保能对白银供货商供应链上的风险进行交易监督. 精炼厂对收到的每批产品接收货运单据，重量单据，检验报告，发票等文本进行检查。风控官总体负责负责交易监控工作，精炼厂确认文件和材料彼此符合，并满足《交易监控控制程序》，对不符或以任何形式疑似不符的交易背景进行检查，并书面确认调查结果，报告给合规官员。另外任何不符或疑似不符白银物料应采用物理方式隔离，按本指南第3步的要求确保其安全，直至解决不符合项为止。这些调查结果应上报给有关部门。

The Refinery has established and implemented the <Transaction Monitoring and Control Process> to ensure the transaction supervision of the risks in the supply chain of silver suppliers. The Refinery shall check the received shipping documents, weight documents, inspection reports, invoices and other texts of each batch of products. The Risk Control Officer is generally responsible for the transaction monitoring. The Refinery confirms that the documents and materials are consistent with each other and meet the <Transaction Monitoring and Control Process>. It checks the transaction background that is inconsistent or suspected to be inconsistent in any form, and confirms the investigation results in writing and reports to the Compliance Officer. In addition, any non-conforming or suspected non-conforming silver materials shall be physically isolated and secured in accordance with Step 3 of this Guidance until the non-conforming items are resolved. These findings shall be reported to the relevant departments.

2019年度未出现不符《交易监控控制程序》现象.

No non-compliance with the Transaction Monitoring and Control Process has occurred in 2019.

三、华信稀贵供应商风险评估报告的提交。

III. Risk Evaluation Report submission from suppliers of Hunan Huaxin Rare&Precious Metals Co., Ltd

白银原材料供应商风险评估报告提交：在完成上述相应工作之后，我公司的原料采购部门的合规专员负责依据《供应商管理政策》、《LBMA白银风险评估流程》，对所有来料供应商进行评分，根据评分结果将供应商划分为高风险、中风险、以及低风险，评估报告提交给风控官。风控官负责审核尽职调查的真实性、有效性和完整性，确认后签字并向首席执行官汇报，首席执行官最后批准。若有供应商被归类为高风险供应商，首席执行官则必须批准，公司将不与该供应商合作。

Risk Evaluation Report submission from silver raw material suppliers: After the corresponding work above is completed, the Compliance Officer of the Raw Material Purchase Department of the Company is responsible for scoring all incoming material suppliers in accordance with the Supplier Management Policy and LBMA Silver Risk Evaluation Process, and classifying the suppliers into high risk, medium risk and low risk according to the scoring results. The appraisal report shall be submitted to the Risk Control Officer. The Risk Control Officer is responsible for reviewing the authenticity, effectiveness and integrity of the due diligence, signing after confirmation, and reporting to the Chief Executive Officer for final approval. If a supplier is classified as a high-risk supplier, the Chief Executive Officer has to approve that the Company will not cooperate with the supplier.

第3步：设计并实施管理策略，应对已识别的风险。

Step 3: Design and implement a management strategy to respond to identified risks

我方已完全遵照第3步：设计和实施管理策略，应对已识别的风险。

We have fully complied with Step 3: Design and implement a management strategy to respond to identified risks.

1、精炼厂已建立文件化的《LBMA风险缓解策略》,合规官负责缓解策略的落实工作，并得到总经理的支持.

1. The documented <LBMA Risk Mitigation Strategy> has been established in the refinery, and the Compliance Officer is responsible for the implementation of the mitigation strategy, with the support of the general manager.

通过以下三种方式进行风险管理：

The Company carries out risk management in three ways:

（i）在继续交易时缓解风险：当对供应商的评估处于低风险时，我们继续从该供应商获得白银原料，但是对其中的调查项目进行完善，使之符合LBMA的规范，比如对于部分供应商，我们通过帮助该供应商学习和了解LBMA的管理要求，向其提供方法及帮助建立、完善风险管控中的不足，使其在其日常经营活动中降低风险。再比如在行业内部，我们通过同行去了解某供应商的行业口碑，以及该供应商经营管理人员的信息对已识别的风险项进行补充和佐证。

(i) Risks mitigation while continuing to trade: When the evaluation of suppliers is at a low risk, we continue to obtain silver raw materials from the suppliers, but improve the investigation items to make them conform to the specifications of LBMA. For example, for some suppliers, we help the suppliers learn and understand the management requirements of LBMA, provide them with methods and help to establish and improve the deficiencies in risk management and control, so that they can reduce risks in their daily business activities. For another example, in the industry, we learn about the industry reputation of a supplier with peers, and the information of the supplier’s management personnel to supplement and prove the identified risk items.

（ii）在暂停交易时缓解风险：对低风险供应商的进行合作时，发现可疑的风险使该供应商可能变为中风险供应商，没有取得确定结果之前，暂停与该供应商合作，并调查该可疑风险，直至确定该供应商为低风险供应商，再依据评估结果进行处理。当评估结果为中风险时，需要暂停与该供应商的合作，同时隔离来料。公司的白银库房设置有高风险来料隔离区，以应对可能性极小的可疑、风险来料及突发状况。将可疑及风险来料隔离汇报调查处置。

(ii) Risk mitigation while suspending of transactions: When cooperating with low-risk suppliers, it is found that the suspicious risks may make the supplier become a medium risk supplier. Before obtaining the determined results, it is necessary to suspend cooperation with the supplier and investigate the suspicious risks until it is determined that the supplier is a low-risk supplier, and then deals with it in accordance with the evaluation results. When the evaluation result is medium risk, the cooperation with the supplier needs to be suspended and the incoming materials need to be isolated. The silver warehouses of the Company are established with isolation areas for high-risk incoming material to deal with suspicious, risky incoming materials and emergencies with little possibility. Isolate suspicious and risk incoming materials are reported investigated and disposed.

在规定的2周期限内，供应商整改该风险项，解除风险，则恢复交易，如整改达不到要求或者无法解除风险，则最后停止与该供应商合作。

Within the specified 2-week period, the supplier rectifies the risk item, removes the risk, and then resumes the transaction. In case the rectification fails to meet the requirements or the risk cannot be removed, the cooperation with the supplier will be stopped finally.

（iii）停止交易脱离风险：对供应商的评估为高风险，或者与供应商合作时发现高风险项目，则停止与其合作，将评估报告及高风险项汇报给首席执行官，由首席执行官进行司法举报或付诸于其他法律手段。使之进入司法程序。

(iii) Risk mitigation whilestopping the transaction: If the supplier is assessed as high risk, or if high-risk items are found during the cooperation with the supplier, the cooperation with the supplier shall be stopped, the evaluation report and high-risk items shall be reported to the chief executive officer. The chief executive officer shall make judicial reports or put them into other legal means, making them into the judicial process.

2、  采取降低风险的管理策略时，采取了可以量化的手段，并进行积分评估，定期风险重新评估以及定期向指定的高级管理人员报告。

2.When the Company adopts the risk mitigation management strategy, it adopts quantifiable means, and carries out integral evaluation, regular risk re-evaluation and regular report to the designated senior management.

量化手段及积分评估：我公司制定了《LBMA风险缓解策略》。如果尽职调查的结果处于低风险（评分值大于等于6），但供应链中的被评估公司一直尽其合理和有诚意的努力，只要该公司在两周的时间范围内采取了明确绩效目标的改进策略，我们将继续从其处获取白银。如果白银供应链尽职调查结果处于中风险（评分小于6但大于2）、高风险（评分小于等于2），这说明可能存在洗钱、恐怖主义融资、助长冲突、侵犯人权的行为，或者存在这种情况的可能性很高，我们将立即停止从其处获取白银，直到其他信息或数据能证实或反驳初步评估。

Quantitative means and integral evaluation: The Company has formulated LBMA Risk Mitigation Strategy. If the results of due diligence show it is at low risk (with a score greater than or equal to 6), but the assessed company in the supply chain is using reasonable and good faith effort, we will continue to refine silver coming from this source provided that it adopts an improvement strategy stating clear performance objectives within two weeks. If the due diligence results of silver supply chain show it is at medium risk (score less than 6 but greater than 2) and high risk (score less than or equal to 2), which indicates that there may exist money laundering, terrorist financing, contribution to conflict, human rights abuses, or if the possibility of the same is deemed high, we will stop immediately to refine silver from this source until additional information or data confirming or refuting the preliminary evaluation.
