Tailings

We have committed to aligning all tailings facilities with The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).

Our Tailings, Mine Waste and Water Storage Facilities Group Standard sets out our minimum performance expectations for the management of tailings, ensuring a focus on the safety and integrity of Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) to protect people and the environment. Each of our Asset’s mine waste and tailings facilities are unique and our TSFs are designed to account for site-specific factors including local physiography, climate, land rehabilitation considerations, geological, seismic and hydrologic conditions and proximity to people and/or infrastructure.

Progress towards GISTM

The GISTM aims to strengthen the management of TSFs by integrating social, environmental, local economic and technical considerations through the TSF lifecycle. We are continuing to work towards our voluntary commitment to align with the GISTM.

In FY26, we developed a program of work to support alignment with the GISTM by FY28. We continue to progress and are strengthening governance and critical controls focused on our operating facilities at MATSA and Motheo and closure preparation at DeGrussa.

We continue to prioritise the safe and responsible management of tailings.
