Strategic Profile

The company offers integrated pit-to-ship solutions including open pit mining, crushing, processing, haulage, port handling, and marine services, combined with design and construction of mineral processing facilities and transport logistics. While facing competitive disadvantages versus larger integrated competitors, the company partially offset this through constructing the lower-cost Onslow mine and diversifying into lithium production at Mt Marion and Wodgina.
