Sights on Site
Decarbonisation at Eliwana
Eliwana is scheduled to be the first of our mine sites to fully transition away from fossil fuels, accelerating our decarbonisation efforts. With considerable investments in renewable energy infrastructure, this site is facilitating our journey to Real Zero.
Battery Energy Storage System
A 20MW/120MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is under construction to provide renewable energy to Eliwana and Flying Fish. The BESS ensures a constant supply of renewable energy, as it stores energy during the day to release at night.
Transmission Lines Integration
Construction has commenced of approx. 140km of 220kV transmission lines, and necessary substations, to supply both our Eliwana and Flying Fish mining Hubs.
Zero Emissions by 2030
Real Zero is our plan to eliminate all emissions across our operations, without voluntary carbon offsets. For the benefit of our planet, our shareholders, and future generations.
Global Operations
Our Metals business includes iron ore operations in the Pilbara and exploration projects across the globe, spanning sites from Australia to Latin America and Gabon.
