About Sandfire Sandfire continues to make strong progress toward its goal of being a sustainable mining company and global copper producer of significance, with modern processing hubs in two highly prospective copper belts, attractive development options, and exciting exploration prospects. The company's early growth stemmed from the discovery of the high-grade DeGrussa copper-gold deposit, located 900km north-east of Perth in Western Australia. DeGrussa provided the business with the platform to grow and diversify across the globe, through the transformational US$1.865 billion acquisition of the MATSA Copper Operations in Spain, and the development of the new Motheo Copper Operations in Botswana.
With a demonstrated commitment to the highest safety standards, Sandfire's strategy is focused on both near-mine and regional opportunities as it seeks to leverage its strategic position in the Iberian Pyrite and Kalahari Copper belts and materially increase the mine life of its modern processing hubs.
