Our strategy is to achieve sustainable long-term growth of the Company through robust and cost-efficient gold exploration, development and production.
Our superior utilisation of technologies has allowed us to identify, advance and develop projects rapidly, at a discovery cost less than half that of our peers.
Our diversification geographically and into other commodities gives multiple opportunities to discover multi-million-ounce assets, de-risking investment.
Strategy developed on the basis of a probabilistic approach to maximise the odds of exploration success
01
Targeting based on the Mineral Systems Model, specifically in the context of volcanic arcs.
02
Focused primarily on exploring for major precious metal deposits, particularly those that have potential scalability.
03
Secondary focus on technology metals, specifically copper, which contribute to the development of a greener economy.
04
Exploration focused on areas with high preservation potential, with a particular emphasis on discovering covered deposits.
