I met Fast2Mine at the Exposibram 2019, where I was impressed by their desire to innovate and do things differently, bringing cutting-edge technology to mining operational management. With this, we made the first partnership with Mineração Vale Verde in Arapiraca and now I have the pleasure of being able to say that I am part of the largest Fast2Mine project in Brazil, at the Santa Rita mine, of the Atlantic Nickel company in Itagibá-BA. I am very proud to be part of this partnership and I am sure that we will reap fruits never before imagined.

I had the pleasure of meeting Fast2Mine at LIPARI in 2018 and following the company's solid growth. In addition to the quality of the products, one of the company's great differentiators is its excellent customer service. I am happy to be a customer and partner of Fast2Mine, currently at Mineração Vale Verde, and to be able to contribute to this story. I am sure that Fast2Mine will continue to grow and deliver quality service to its customers.

Fast2Mine has a difference that goes beyond a simple commercial contract, as it is a company that transmits reliability in the services provided, in addition to a high-standard service in all sectors involved in the process. Some of the values that are so essential for us in this software segment are: professional ethics, information security, and quality of service. Fast2Mine provides us with these values with excellence.

We started our partnership with Fast2Mine in 2018, when we were looking for a technology that would allow us to improve our processes and operational management. Fast2Mine understood our demands and served us in a very satisfactory way, creating a very strong relationship of partnership and trust with Kinross. With the implementation of the Fast2Mine Mining Control system, we were able to increase the reliability of our data and improve decision-making, which resulted in many tangible gains in our operation. Currently, we continue to innovate in partnership with Fast2Mine, through the implementation of new modules of the Mining Control system, and, certainly, we will continue to obtain benefits from this partnership.

With the aim of reducing costs and increasing productivity at Mineração Herculano, we have Fast2Mine software as a state-of-the-art technology, where it is possible to manage the entire fleet and the entire mine operation as a whole, in real time, enabling decision-making in the operation. I thank the entire Fast2Mine team for their commitment and support. All success is the fruit of great teamwork.

I started the work of fleet control and management with Fast2Mine in 2015, when everything was still in the testing phase, and even though it was too early to measure all the tangible and intangible gains, they were present and translated into improvements in productivity, utilization, and operational efficiency. Currently, we have a very robust, flexible, and adaptable system for any mine operation. I really like the phrase "what you don't control, you don't manage," and in this regard, the Mining Control software, developed by Fast2Mine, exceeds all expectations. I would like to express my thanks to Fast2Mine for the excellent work over these seven years. It is fantastic to work with the Fast2Mine team, especially for their determination, dedication, attention to detail, and prompt attention.
