Finding better ways to power the world.
We find, mine and process the earth's mineral resources — iron ore, copper, aluminium and lithium — the building blocks of a cleaner, smarter future.
Who we are
Materials for a cleaner, smarter future
For more than 150 years, our operations have helped build the world we know. Across 34 countries, our 61,000+ employees work every day to find better ways to provide the materials modern life depends on.
Our core products — iron ore, copper, aluminium and lithium — underpin everything from renewable energy to everyday infrastructure. That work is built on knowledge passed down across generations, and on partnerships with the communities and Indigenous Peoples whose land we operate on.
