P3: "We have significant operations in Australia and North America, and also have businesses in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America. You can read more about our business on our website."

The majority by value of our payments are made to goods and services suppliers in Australia, Canada and the US but we generally work with suppliers in all of the countries in which we operate. As illustrated by our projects and operations map this includes both emerging and developed economies.

We also procure from countries where we do not have any operations, and in recent years have expanded procurement from suppliers from market competitive countries. The majority of these suppliers come from China and India.

After Australia, Canada and the US our next highest spend countries include Mongolia, Singapore, China, Great Britain and South Africa. These denote countries where purchase orders were raised and may not always represent the country of origin.

Goods and services cover the mining life cycle, from exploration and construction services to on-site transport, catering and spare parts. Our largest spend categories tend to be fuel, energy, transportation/logistics and materials.
