Strategy

Our strategy is to grow responsibly as a base metal mining company, providing superior returns to our shareholders. This strategy has served us well and continues to deliver excellent results.

Our strategy is supported by three goals. These guide our planning, and help us set objectives and measure our success.

  1. Long-term responsible growth
  2. Superior returns
  3. Base metal mining

Financial strength

Our financial objective is to ensure we have the cash and debt capacity to support our strategy to grow responsibly as a base metal mining company, providing superior returns to shareholders.

Our strategy is to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and committed credit facilities to finance our operating requirements and the growth projects we have identified. We manage our debt levels by ensuring that, even at the low point in the metal price cycle, our operations can provide adequate debt coverage.
