Sandfire Resources Limited (Sandfire or the Company) advises that an internal review of historical
activities has confirmed that unregistered, low density artefact scatter has been disturbed at its
DeGrussa operations, which were placed on care and maintenance in the June 2023 quarter. The
review included an assessment of available geospatial data, which indicated the disturbance
primarily occurred in 2017 and 2018 as a result of a series of process failures during the construction
of the Monty satellite mine.
Sandfire has engaged with the Traditional Owners to inform them of the disturbance of artefact
scatter within the Monty mining lease and apologise. Sandfire management and representatives of
the Traditional Owners group jointly visited the mining lease earlier this month, and Sandfire is
seeking to understand the Traditional Owner’s wishes and respond to their needs.
Separately, Sandfire will complete a thorough investigation to determine the root cause of the
process failures and to identify potential improvement opportunities in our approach to historical
matters of this nature. Sandfire can also confirm that the matter was reported to its Board of Directors
when its Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Harris, was informed and steps were taken to enable the
Company to quickly notify the Traditional Owners from that point.
Following continued engagement with the Traditional Owners and their representative, Sandfire has
now reported the disturbance of unregistered, low density artefact scatter to the Department of
Planning, Lands and Heritage in Western Australia.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Harris, said: “Sandfire prides itself on being a values based
organisation and we are extremely sorry to have disturbed artefact scatter within the Monty mining
lease during construction and mining activities. Our local communities are of critical importance to us
and we will work hard to rebuild our relationship with the Traditional Owners.”
