the State’s schedule of resources and reserves at December 31, 2016.

Mining site rehabilitation
Since the start of the group’s mining operations, several hundred million euros have been spent on the dismantling of facilities and on the rehabilitation of mining sites in
France, Gabon, the United States and Canada. The purpose of this rehabilitation work is to ensure that residual environmental impacts are as low as reasonably achievable.
