It was great to be in Adelaide, South Australia, for Austmine’s Copper to the World 2026, where Sandfire was proud to be the Sustainability Partner.
As South Australia continues to emerge as a key growth region for Sandfire, we're excited to work with our local partner, Havilah Resources Limited, to help unlock and develop one of the largest, undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits in Australia - the Kalkaroo Copper-Gold Project.
During his keynote presentation, our Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Brendan Harris, highlighted that, as global demand for copper continues to grow, projects like Kalkaroo will play an important role in supplying the commodities needed to support electrification, renewable energy and economic development.
In FY27, we will invest US$50 million in advancing Kalkaroo. We’ve established an 80-person camp and commenced a planned 130-kilometre drilling program, that will support the completion of our pre-feasibility study during H2 FY28.
