Our Purpose and Values

Our Purpose

To provide the essential resources the world is counting on to make life better while caring for the people, communities and land that we love.

Essential Resources

The metals and minerals we produce are essential for modern life, and for building a better quality of life for people around the world. The technologies and infrastructure needed to tackle big challenges like climate change – electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines and more – depend on the resources we provide.
