About us

Our unique approach to mining gives us a holistic view, creates leaders at every level, ensures we behave responsibly and has delivered a proven track record.

We take a different view

With operating mines spanning five continents, we know that what works in one might not be a perfect match for another. We encourage our people to forge their own path, finding the best way to solve challenges creatively rather than following the beaten track.

Our people are our greatest asset, a team of experts driven by a shared passion to uncover new solutions. We are enabled by an agile approach to work that encourages innovation and helps our projects, and our people, to reach their full potential.
