This morning, Kelly O'Rourke, our Chief Legal and External Affairs Officer, took to the stage at Australia's largest mining event, the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC), for a conversation on mining, sustainability and South32's journey over the decade since demerger.   Kelly also discussed our experience with the FAST-41 permitting process for our Hermosa project in the US, which has improved transparency, accountability and coordination. #IMARC #mining #sustainability

Today we held our 2024 Annual General Meeting - a chance to reflect on a significant year for our business. The year was marked by major milestones in the transformation of our portfolio, with the final investment decision to develop the Taylor zinc-lead-silver deposit at Hermosa and the sale of Illawarra Metallurgical Coal - as well as challenges, particularly the impact of Tropical Cyclone Megan on GEMCO. Thank you to our people around the world for your hard work and dedication throughout the year, as well as the communities where we work, our shareholders and all our other stakeholders for their ongoing support. #mining #metals #agm

It has just been announced that our Worsley Alumina operation has successfully obtained full ASI Performance Standard v3.1 Certification – here’s why that’s a big deal 🔽 Around the world, manufacturers such as the automotive sector want to know that the aluminium they source is produced responsibly. The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global standard setting and certification organisation for the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. Certification from ASI helps build customers’ confidence that their supply chains can be verified to meet sustainability principles and standards. To obtain Performance Standard v3.1 certification, the team at Worsley Alumina compiled and presented the information and evidence required to meet the ASI’s 11 principles and 62 environmental, social and governance related criteria. In obtaining certification, Worsley has become one of only a few alumina refineries around the world to be certified to this level. With Mozal Aluminium also having full ASI certification, we can now deliver aluminium with a fully certified value chain covering the mining of bauxite and the refining of alumina at Worsley, and the production of aluminium at Mozal. Well done to the team at Worsley Alumina and everyone involved in helping achieve this significant milestone.  #aluminium #sustainability #mining

Last week our CEO Graham Kerr was interviewed by ICMM CEO Rohitesh Dhawan at the ICMM Responsible Mining Leadership Forum. During the interview Graham spoke about his career in the mining industry and how our business has evolved, including how we have transitioned our portfolio to focus on commodities critical to a low-carbon future.   Our portfolio transition includes our investment in developing Hermosa’s Taylor deposit in the US, a potential top 10 global zinc producer. With zinc demand growth expected to outpace production to 2031 as it plays a role in global decarbonisation efforts, we expect higher incentive zinc prices as Taylor ramps up to nameplate capacity. #mining #commodities #leadership

"The sky's the limit here really - opportunities arise and you'll never know where they'll take you."   Our people are all over the world, with different skills, experiences and stories - but together we can make a positive impact that has the potential to change lives.   Hear from our people about why they are proud to be a part of South32 🔽 #careers #mining #opportunities

Our South32 Hermosa project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, will create significant employment opportunities in a region where the average unemployment rate is nearly twice as high as the state average.   To help residents secure skilled jobs at Hermosa, we have established a dedicated Workforce Development Taskforce to help train, develop and expand the region’s workforce. We have set a goal to have at least 80% of our workforce living and working in Santa Cruz County, enabling downstream economic benefits to flow to the local region. During a typical year of operation, Hermosa will support more than 2,300 jobs in Arizona, including over 1,500 jobs in Santa Cruz County directly and will contribute millions of dollars in taxes and royalties to the economy.
