Business Continuity-Firm Policy

Strategic Gold Corporation (“SGC”) has developed a comprehensive plan to ensure business continuity during a Significant Business Disruption (SBD). Our policy focuses on:

  • Safeguarding employees and property
  • Recovering and resuming operations quickly
  • Protecting firm books and records

Our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is designed to support both short-term (1-3 days) and long-term (3+ days) disruptions.

Business Continuity and Significant Business Disruptions (SBDs)

SGC’s plan anticipates two types of SBDs:

  • Internal SBDs: These affect SGC’s internal operations, such as a fire or IT failure.
  • External SBDs: Wide-scale disruptions such as natural disasters or regional outages.

Our response strategy ensures that clients and operations remain unaffected as much as possible.
