OUR PRODUCTS
We’re creating value today and for future generations
Our products contribute to the modern world, as critical components of green technologies, medical innovations, infrastructure, financial systems, consumer goods and more.
Gold
A precious metal with a variety of uses around the world
Throughout history, gold has contributed to societies and economies around the world — as a way to store value through gold bullion, in ceremonies with jewellery and artifacts and as a currency in financial exchanges.
Today, it does much more. Gold plays an important role in innovations including low-carbon technologies, medical diagnostics and treatment, renewable energy infrastructure, consumer electronics, aerospace technologies and more.
Copper
A critical component in emerging technologies for the green transition
Copper plays an essential role in our lives — whether we’re conscious of it or not. Anti-bacterial, durable, recyclable and the world’s preferred electrical and thermal conductor, you’ll find copper in consumer electronics and appliances, motors, batteries, electrical wiring, plumbing and more.
As we transition to a green economy, copper has become more important than ever. Copper is a nearly irreplaceable component in wind farms, solar panels, power grids, heat pumps, wastewater recovery and electric vehicles and their batteries.
According to the International Copper Association, annual refined copper demand is expected to double by 2050 compared to 20201. With demand on the rise, responsible copper producers will have an important role to play in creating a more sustainable future.

First mined thousands of years ago in modern-day Türkiye, silver is another precious metal with a long and storied past.Historically, silver has been used for currency, jewellery, mirrors and tableware.Today, silver’s unique properties also make it an important component in electronics, solar panels, nuclear energy, construction, chemical production, photography, medical treatments and devices, and even textiles.
One of the top mined and most widely used metals, zinc is commonly used to protect iron and steel against rusting, store energy in zinc-ion batteries and produce rubber, plastic, paints and electrical equipment.
Abundant, malleable and relatively low-cost, lead is used in automotive applications, telecommunications, batteries, medical imaging, marine applications and more. A key advantage of lead is the ability to alloy it with metals, such as copper, to enhance its properties.
Direct Value
1. Government payments: The taxes, royalties and fees we pay to host governments generate revenues that can be directed to address societal needs.
2. Shared infrastructure: Our mines contribute to the development of host communities through shared-use infrastructure, such as roads, electric power distribution and other services.
3. Local employment: Our operations create well-paying job opportunities locally and provide market stability during socio-economic shocks, such as financial crises or global pandemics.
4. Local procurement: We purchase materials and services from local companies, wherever possible.
5. Community investment: We invest in host communities to build local capacity for self-reliance and resilience now and for future generations.
Indirect Value
6. Technology and innovation: The gold and precious metals we produce help build a better future through use in low-carbon technologies, renewable energy infrastructure, consumer electronics, aerospace and more.
7. Stored value: Banks, governments, institutions and individuals use gold and silver as mediums of financial exchange and wealth protection. Gold jewellery also has significant cultural value globally and is often used to transfer and build intergenerational wealth.
8. Modern medicine: Gold’s diverse properties make it useful in the healthcare sector for a broad range of applications, including gold nanoparticles used in rapid medical diagnostic testing or gold-coated precision markers for breast cancer treatment.
