About Sandfire

Our Strategy

A focused strategy to achieve our purpose.

Our strategy supports the continued transformation of our company into a global copper producer of significance.

Built on five strategic pillars which form the bedrock of our plan, our strategy is informed by our approach to sustainability and ESG Framework, which permeates everything we do and every decision we make.

Empower our people and define clear lines of accountability
Deliver safe, consistent and predictable performance
Reduce our carbon intensity
Increase our reserves
Demonstrate capital discipline
Informed by our ESG Framework, which permeates everything we do and every decision we make

Sandfire is strongly placed to support the electrification and decarbonisation of the global economy through our ownership of two modern processing hubs in the highly prospective Iberian Pyrite and Kalahari Copper Belts, and targeted development options.

We will unlock significant additional value for our stakeholders by:

  • delivering safe, consistent and predictable performance;
  • further reducing our carbon intensity;
  • materially increasing reserves in the provinces we have chosen for their exploration potential; and
  • demonstrating capital discipline.

Our inclusive culture underpins our success as it enables everyone to be their best, while our simple way of working empowers our teams and defines clear lines of accountability.

Empower our people and define clear lines of accountability

We strive to build an inclusive culture that values diversity, where our people are empowered and accountable, and can also achieve their full potential. This is underpinned by our steadfast commitment to develop a physically and psychologically safe environment.

The Sandfire Way codifies our operating model, systems, processes and structure, providing our people with the clarity, tools and environment needed to deliver personal and shared success.

Deliver safe, consistent and predictable performance

We strive to protect our people, host communities and the environment in which we operate by being fundamentally dedicated to safety and sustainability and doing the basics well. Not only is this the right thing to do, but we also know that a safe business is productive.

By delivering safe, consistent and predictable performance at our modern processing hubs at MATSA and Motheo, we will establish a stable operating platform from which we can improve and grow.

Reduce our carbon intensity

We recognise that climate change is an urgent global challenge that demands an industry wide response. We are committed to contributing to the responsible transition to a low emission future by taking action at both a corporate and operational level.

Our copper concentrates are a vital ingredient in the electrification of, and global transition toward, a low carbon emissions economy. Sandfire’s polymetallic MATSA processing hub is already producing copper with a low emissions intensity – but we know more can be done, which is why we are taking direct action to reduce our future emissions intensity.

Increase our reserves

To sustain our business and unlock additional value for all of our stakeholders by identifying additional reserves and extending the life of our strategically valuable metal processing hubs and creating future development options.

Exploration will focus on both near-mine and regional opportunities in the Iberian Pyrite Belt and Kalahari Copper Belt, with the team also looking to progress our Black Butte development project in Montana, USA.

Demonstrate Capital Discipline

Our disciplined approach to capital management supports our commitment to build a sustainable business, creating long-term value for all of our stakeholders.

When we manage our capital well, we can invest to ensure the safe, consistent and predictable performance of our operations, nothing is more important, and have the flexibility to grow our business for value, pay down debt and return capital to shareholders.
