Our people
Our people are our
greatest asset.
The importance of attracting and
retaining a high-quality team was never
more evident than when presented
with the challenging labour market
conditions experienced across the
sector during 2022.
The importance of our People was reinforced
yet again with the extreme weather event at
Capricorn Copper in March.

The 29Metals team delivered improved
safety performance, increased production
and achieved important milestones in
our organic growth ambition. These
were achieved in the face of continuing
COVID-19 related impacts, including
increased absenteeism (including as
a result of COVID-19 close contact
requirements) and border closures in
the first half of the year, combined
with the seasonal illness absenteeism
and extremely tight labour markets
reported across the sector.
The health, safety and wellbeing of
our people is the highest priority.
The challenges of 2022 required even
more emphasis on health, safety and
wellbeing, including mental health, as
well as a continuing focus on workplace
behaviours and ensuring that all of
our people have the confidence to
raise concerns – be they mental health
concerns or calling out behaviours that
do not meet 29Metals’ standards.
During 2022, we also continued to
emphasise our commitment to our Values
through the 29Metals’ TEAMS awards,
where our workforce has the opportunity
to nominate colleagues or teams for going
above and beyond in demonstrating
commitments and behaviours aligned
with 29Metals’ Values.
During 2022, we continued to focus on
promoting a supportive culture where our
people feel valued and heard. 29Metals’
commitment to inclusion and diversity
is part of our approach to attracting and
retaining a high-quality workforce.
Our workforce-led working group,
InDiVisible, continued its work during
the year, as an important forum for our
workforce to identify and discuss barriers
to promoting an inclusive workplace and
a diverse workforce.
