Sandfire

Today we released our September 2024 Quarterly Results. At an operating level, we maintained Group Copper Equivalent production of 38.0kt in Q1 FY25 and remain on track to achieve annual group production, cost and capital expenditure guidance. From a strategic perspective, our five-year plan to materially increase reserves and increase the life of our MATSA and Motheo mining hubs is gathering momentum, as we actively test targets generated by the extensive geophysical and geological work undertaken in prior periods.

Sandfire was proud to sponsor and participate in the Women in Mining 2024 conference recently held in Gaborone, Botswana. Members of our Motheo team engaged in panel discussions, and gained insights from the stories, ideas, and experiences shared by women across different disciplines. This year's theme, ‘Elevating Women Through Strategic Up-Skilling and Collaboration’, aimed to unite talented women across the mining industry and to promote diversity and inclusion.  Aligned to the theme, Sandfire was proud to sponsor students from the University of Botswana to attend the event, to create and promote opportunities for young women within the mining industry.

Sandfire is delighted to announce a new two-year $300,000 partnership with Telethon. Under the partnership Sandfire will contribute $150,000 per year to the charity which supports medical research into childhood diseases and provides equipment, critical services and life-changing opportunities for sick, disadvantaged and vulnerable children. This partnership allows us to support initiatives that improve the health and wellbeing of children across Western Australia, with a portion of funds raised going directly to the Earbus Foundation and Shooting Stars, which offer specific programs for Aboriginal children.   You can learn more about telethon here: https://lnkd.in/gbpaD96j  

The team at Sandfire MATSA was recognised in the 2024 Euromines Safety Awards, for the implementation of a mobile app which improves the safety of those working underground. Euromines, Europe’s leading association for the raw materials industry, believes the future of mining is built on protecting lives, safeguarding communities, and ensuring sustainable progress for all. There is nothing more important than the health and safety of our people, and it is great to see our team recognised for their innovation and continuing efforts to enhance our safety culture. Well done team MATSA!

The Construction team at Sandfire Motheo donated mattresses and linen to hostels in Kuke and D’kar. The donated items will improve the living environment for the hostels’ residents, including students and young people from the local communities. Our business partners, Kalcon, Groupana, Gear Mining, Excavator Hire, and Mighty Infinite Services also donated beanies to 700 students in D’kar, along with a washing machine for multifunctional use. These contributions align with the Education pillar of the Motheo Community Framework and will reduce the challenges faced by students in the district as a result of limited resources and facilities.

The team from Sandfire MATSA returned to schools in Huelva and Seville to deliver its ‘Once upon a time in the mine’ program for 2024.  The program, which aims to highlight the benefits of modern and innovative mining practices to local children and their families, was delivered by Sandfire employees from the mine, plant, geology and finance departments. The team presented to more than 200 students across five sessions on mining and its history. 

Members of the Sandfire team in Perth were pleased to attend the Women in Mining WA Summit, to listen to thought-leaders, changemakers and skilled professionals from both within and outside of the mining industry. The theme for this year focused on the importance of connection, community and belonging. The Sandfire team heard the stories, ideas and experiences of women from various disciplines, and were influenced and inspired to speak up, challenge norms, and generate positive change in the workplace. Sandfire is committed to building an inclusive culture that values diversity and empowers everyone to take accountability and achieve their full potential. In FY24, we completed the rollout of a global Inclusion and Diversity Program at each of our operating Assets, to learn more about our progress visit https://bit.ly/sfrsus24
