Company overview

With a strategic position in two highly prospective copper belts, Sandfire continues to make strong progress toward our goal of being a sustainable mining company and global copper producer of significance.

Copper continues to play a vital role in the electrification and decarbonisation of the global economy. With modern processing hubs in two highly prospective copper belts, attractive development options, and exciting exploration prospects, Sandfire is well placed to support the green energy transition.

With a demonstrated commitment to the highest safety standards, we mine copper sustainably to energise the future. Our dedication to operating our business to high standards has been recognised through receipt of numerous awards including: Prospectors of the Year; Best Australian Explorer; Developer of the Year; Hard Rock Mine of the Year; and in 2019, the Golden Gecko Award for Environmental Excellence.

Sandfire’s early growth stemmed from the discovery of the high-grade DeGrussa copper-gold deposit, located 900km north-east of Perth in Western Australia. DeGrussa provided the business with the platform to grow and diversify across the globe, through the transformational US$1.865 billion acquisition of the MATSA Copper Operations in Spain, and the development of the new Motheo Copper Operations in Botswana.

Sandfire’s strategy is focused on both near-mine and regional opportunities as we seek to leverage our strategic position in the highly prospective Iberian Pyrite and Kalahari Copper belts, and materially increase the mine life of our modern processing hubs.
