What we do
A resource mix for today – and for the future
We have continued to focus our portfolio on iron ore and higher-quality metallurgical coal preferred by our steelmaking customers, copper which is used in electrification, nickel which is used in electric cars.
Iron ore is one of the most sought after commodities in the world and is integral to the steel-making process.
