Mining

Our operations comprise around 150 mining and metallurgical sites, oil production assets and agricultural facilities. Using our sector knowledge and global supply base, we source and market commodities to industrial consumers who need them - such as steel-makers, vehicle manufacturers, power companies and processors of oil and food. In this way, we produce and market resources that play an essential role in modern life.

People are at the heart of our business. That’s why we prioritize safety at all our assets; why we seek to minimize our impacts on the environment and communities; and why we aim to attract employees who strive to be leaders in their field.

We produce and market a diverse range of metals and minerals – such as copper, cobalt, zinc, nickel, and ferroalloys - and also market aluminum/alumina and iron ore from third parties. We are a major producer and marketer of coal, with mines in Australia, Africa, and South America – while our oil business is one of the leading marketers of crude oil, refined products and natural gas.

Early evidence suggests that there are trillions of dollars' worth of minerals and metals buried in asteroids that come close to the Earth. Asteroids are so close that many scientists think an asteroid mining mission is easily feasible. Several international organizations are developing plans for going up to get these natural space resources. Solear intends to position itself as the leader in asteroid mining of the 21st century.
