How Modern Mining Works

We take our own approach when it comes to creating and running mines. We both develop and operate our projects and mines. We don’t use external contractors. That puts us in a far better position to get the maximum value from the mine. Because we operate what we’ve built, we are constantly learning to improve on every aspect of the mine’s lifecycle – helping us to create and operate mines that bring more value to society.

Environmental stewardship and community engagement are essential for the success of our projects and operations. We can only succeed when we look after the people and the places where we operate.  For us, this means creating programmes in partnership with the local community. It means creating jobs and providing training to help people take those roles on. And it means working alongside local governments and leaders to find ways to ensure we’re looking after the environment too.

The jobs of miners today involve a lot less spades and a lot more machinery. Miners are more likely to spend their time maintaining and operating heavy equipment, optimising the mine’s processes, surveying mining sites, evaluating ore deposits, and ensuring everyone gets home safely.
