I風險評估結果分為兩種，高風險和非高風險。

在與供應商業務關系建成之前，業務部門需要填寫《白銀供應鏈盡職調查表》，依據管理體系要求針對所有含銀原料新客戶和老客戶進行評估，我司全部含銀原料均為礦產銀和陽極板：礦產銀供應商需要提供營業執照、采礦許可證、承諾書、盡職調查表、運輸方式以及受益人相關調查內容；陽極板供應商需要提供營業執照、含銀物料原產地證明、承諾書、盡職調查表、運輸方式以及受益人相關調查內容。

1.There are two types of risk assessment results, high-risk and non-high-risk.

Before the business relationship with the supplier is established, the business department needs to fill out the "Silver Supply Chain Due Diligence Form" and evaluate all new and old customers’ silver-bearing raw materials according to the requirements of the management system. Our silver-bearing raw materials are mineral silver and Anode plates: Mineral silver suppliers are required to provide business licenses, mining licenses, commitments, due diligence forms, transportation methods, and beneficiary-related investigations; anode plate suppliers are required to provide business licenses, certificates of origin for silver-containing materials, and commitment, due diligence questionnaires, transportation methods, and beneficiary-related investigations.

Because of the epidemic situation, we commissioned the silver dealers in the supply chain to conduct investigation.For large-scale mining of silver and : use credible independent sources of documents, data and information to verify the situation, from mines to refineries, every company in the supply chain (including and silver producers, middlemen, &Silver traders, exporters, and transporters) are required to verify the information of their owners and government watch list.

If the due diligence information submitted by the silver supply chain is incomplete or unwilling to cooperate, it means that there is a high possibility of money laundering, terrorist financing, conflict promotion, and human rights violations. We will immediately stop obtaining silver raw materials from them. Until other information or data can confirm they have low risk status.

According to the results of the due diligence in 2022, although there are two high risks, the management strategy of risk mitigation has been carried out.
