‘Optimising our operations’ means bringing our attributable Mineral
Resources of more than 225 million gold equivalent ounces and
attributable Mineral Reserves of 77 million gold equivalent ounces
to account in a way that is cost effective, safe and environmentally
responsible. Our mine portfolio is world class – but we are conscious that
our operations can do more. As a result, our focus is on:
- Maximising the operational potential of our mines, including investment
in mechanisation, infrastructure development, mining flexibility and ore
reserve development
- Pursuing ‘Zero Harm’ through our Safe Production philosophy,
including particular focus on the provision of a safe working
environment and a transformation in the attitudes, behaviour and
accountability of our employees
- Minimising our environmental impact, including projects to minimise
pollution risks, maximise energy efficiencies, manage our carbon
impacts and plan for the eventual closure of the mine
