Material actions and disclosures
During FY26, Sandfire reported a marginal improvement in its Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF) to 1.6, down from 1.7 in the previous financial year. The company continues to focus on achieving an injury-free workplace through safety leadership, risk management, and improved systems and processes.

Forward commitments
Sandfire aims to safely deliver Copper Equivalent (CuEq) production of 150kt to 166kt in FY27. The company also plans to achieve Underlying Operating Unit Costs of $90/t at MATSA and $47/t at Motheo. Additionally, Sandfire intends to develop a Climate Transition Plan and commission solar facilities at both MATSA and Motheo in H2 FY27.
These initiatives reflect Sandfire’s commitment to advancing its decarbonization roadmap and ensuring the health and safety of its workforce.
