Our Culture

Our operations are supported by a geographically diverse workforce with significant exploration, development and operating experience.

We are committed to enabling a culture where our people are cared for, respected and valued. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, fostering an environment where our teams work together to achieve extraordinary results.

Our purpose is to mine gold for a better future. The gold, copper, and silver we produce play a vital role in renewable energy, transportation, life-saving medical technologies, and the tools that connect communities worldwide. Beyond delivering these essential materials, our operations contribute to economic growth, education, and healthcare in the regions we serve.

With over 3,700 employees and countless others indirectly supported, our purpose goes beyond mining. It’s about creating a sustainable future while improving lives through meaningful work.
