Strategy update summary
4 Aug, 2026Safety and Sustainability as Strategic Foundations
Safety is the top priority, underpinning operational delivery, workforce engagement, and public perception.
The company has seen improvements in safety performance but remains committed to eliminating fatalities.
Sustainability is integrated into operations, with legal agreements like the Good Neighbor Agreement in Montana as examples.
Social responsibility and stakeholder value creation are emphasized, with significant investments in communities and a focus on long-term positive impact.
Achieved responsible sourcing accreditations and significant environmental progress, including renewable energy and emissions reductions.
Strategic Vision, Business Model Evolution, and Operating Context
The strategy focuses on building a future-focused metals business, adapting to changing capital, supply chains, and metal demand.
Emphasis on integrating into value chains, leveraging a Resource Stewardship Model: primary mining, secondary mining, and recycling to embrace the circular economy.
Geopolitical shifts, regulatory changes, and rising demand for critical minerals shape the operating environment.
Growth in the global middle class and electrification drive increased demand for gold and energy transition metals.
Entrepreneurial growth and diversification have transformed the business from a gold-focused miner to a top global precious metals producer.
Portfolio Optimization, Operational Focus, and Entrepreneurial Growth
The current strategy centers on unlocking unrealized potential within the existing portfolio, prioritizing organic growth over acquisitions.
Portfolio simplification is underway, with assets evaluated for strategic fit, competitive advantage, and value realization potential.
South African gold and PGM operations, Keliber Lithium, DRDGOLD, and recycling are strategic priorities; other assets are under review for possible divestment.
Built a diversified operating base with extended life of mine and increased production profile.
Revenue and EBITDA contributions are now underpinned by a mix of gold, PGMs, nickel, zinc, and recycling.
