At OZ Minerals we strive to be modern.
We’re guided by our purpose, “Going beyond what’s possible to make lives better”.
We believe that only when we create value for all our stakeholders will we be successful and sustainable.
We own and operate Prominent Hill, a high quality copper-gold mine, and Carrapateena, an iron-oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) underground mine, both located in the highly prospective Gawler Craton in South Australia.
The Carajás East Hub located in Brazil is also part of our portfolio. This Hub comprises the Pedra Branca underground mine, which is the beginning of a potential series of small, high quality copper-gold mines with ore being processed at existing facilities at the nearby, now-depleted Antas mine.
Why invest in OZ Minerals?
We aim to understand what’s important to our Shareholders. We consider their perspectives when making strategic choices.
Our strategy is to develop a portfolio of long life, low-cost copper-focused assets in safe and stable countries. We create growth opportunities through a pipeline of exploration and development projects aimed at building mining provinces.
We maintain a strong balance sheet to support our growth strategy. By safely and consistently meeting operational targets and working ethically, in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way, we aim to achieve consistent top quartile returns and pay sustainable dividends.
Ongoing shareholder support is important to our success, as is investing in creating value for our other stakeholders. In doing so we build a sustainable and resilient business now and for the future.
