Operational optimisation
We look to maximise production and efficiency, and apply best practice. When we acquire assets, we enhance their culture and strategic focus, and increase their operational performance. We address immediate issues such as cash constraints, then carry out a full audit of the mine's management, operations and production facilities to identify the improvements we need to make.
Organic expansion and development.
We make significant investment in expanding reserves at our current mines and identifying and developing new greenfield and brownfield projects. This allows us to increase the life of our mines, expand our overall reserves base and generate growth. We make full use of our central mining and geological expertise and our considerable experience on the ground in our regions.
Value accretive acquisitions
We identify underperforming mines or late-stage development projects, where we can create value through operational improvements or by providing expertise or capital. We will consider acquisitions in our existing regions, as well as in other countries. We exercise financial discipline in valuing targets and use our management’s considerable acquisition experience.
