North American Construction Group s (NACG) Heavy Construction and Mining division operates with 60 years of earthworks experience in hard rock and oil sands mining, overburden removal, mine site development and mine reclamation. We Build from Experience Proof Point Experience is the most rigorous classroom, and we have learned more than our fair share. NACG has a history of pioneering new equipment, technology and processes, having worked on every owner site in the Alberta oil sands. When our bid on a project came in significantly above the competition, the potential client understandably asked us why. NACG was able to win the job by identifying the true costs of the project thanks to the due diligence of our estimating team and our extensive project experience. When all was said and done, we finished the project with a perfect safety record, significant cost savings, and a very satisfied customer. Our Heavy Construction and Mining division has extensive project management experience. By getting involved early in the project, we can help clients define project scope and timeline, resulting in reduced risk and overall project cost. Our experience, expertise and foresight allow us to quote with confidence providing our clients with cost certainty. With our superior operational knowledge and unmatched project execution capabilities, NACG is committed to providing our clients with the highest quality work at the lowest delivered cost on every project.

3 Where We Build, Everyone Gets Home Safe Safety is top priority at NACG, and a strong workplace safety performance record proves it. At NACG, we are committed to getting everyone home safe, every day.

Proof Point At NACG, we believe safety is the key to project success and safety beings with training. Once a new hire joins our company and completes their Safety Orientation, they are then released to a 24-person team, with an average of 26 years experience specializing in mining and construction, to complete their Operator Training. As a valuable tool in this training program, NACG utilizes a new Immersive Pro3 Heavy Equipment Simulator, allowing trainees to see and feel what it s like to operate some of the largest mining machinery in the world, and giving them hands-on experience withreal-life scenarios before they even step foot on a jobsite. All in all, each Equipment Operator Trainee spends approximately hours completing orientations, theory modules, classroom training, coaching, and evaluations before they are allowed to operate on their own. With such a strong emphasis on training, and as the only contractor in the oil sands with this caliber of equipment simulator, NACG ensures that our Operators are the best trained, and equipped with the knowledge and experience to safely operate in any mining environment.
