140 years of building a better future
What began in Broken Hill has grown into Australia’s global resources company, from one mining town to operations across three continents. Since 1885, we’ve produced resources the world needs for everyday life and the future. And through it all, we’ve helped support communities across Australia.
It’s been that way for 140 years, and it’s still happening now.
What started in one mining town 140 years ago is now a global resources company.
