We are located on one of the world’s largest deposits of zinc and lead, about 970 kilometres south-east of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory. Our operation includes an open cut mine and processing facilities.

Zinc and lead is mined and processed at McArthur River Mine and trucked to Bing Bong Loading Facility on the Gulf of Carpentaria. From there it is shipped around the world.

We are committed to operating in a safe, responsible and sustainable manner. Our mine also contributes significantly to world supply of zinc used to galvanise steel—the key method for preventing corrosion—for example, in cars and buildings.
