Originally built in the 11th century, the Chapel Notre-Dame Sabart in Fance has a rich history. It began as a place of worship, but the passage of time brought significant changes to its surroundings. ⛪ As industrialisation swept through the region in the early 20th century, the chapel found itself neighbouring an aluminium smelter, which eventually closed and was later acquired by us. 🏭 Through our collaborative efforts with the city of Tarascon-sur-Ariège, we have been able to help revitalise the area where the smelter stood and reestablish the chapel as a community hub and a place of pilgrimage.💡 📖 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gujjG5Em

This 158.20 carat gem-quality yellow diamond - one of the largest ever found in Canada - was unearthed at our Diavik diamond mine in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

"This 2-billion-year-old natural Canadian diamond is a miracle of nature and testament to the skill and fortitude of all the men and women who work in Diavik's challenging sub-Arctic environment," Matt Breen, Chief Operating Officer at Diavik Diamond Mine, says. 🔎 Swipe through to see this extraordinary gem up close. #Diavik #Mining

Working with our suppliers is one of the best ways that we can positively impact the communities where we operate. When we buy goods and services, we aim to find better ways to create sustainable value in partnership with our suppliers. To help our suppliers meet our standards for sourcing goods and services responsibly, we have updated our Supplier Code of Conduct, raising the bar for health and safety, business integrity, respect for others and the environment, and effective due diligence. “By working together to meet these standards, we are building a future that we can all be proud of,” Head of Global Procurement Jamie Sanders said. #FindingBetterWays #Procurement #Suppliers 

Across our business, we collaborate with governments, industry leaders, and innovative start-ups. These partnerships enable us to scale effectively, drive innovation, and expand faster than going solo. Joint Ventures (JVs) are a key part of our approach—helping us share knowledge, enhance capabilities, and unlock new opportunities. For more: https://lnkd.in/gjyP9F2y #FindingBetterWays #JV

To mark our 152nd anniversary, we've gone through our archives to uncover the lesser-known items that tell our story. One of these is the "armchair of the viceroy", a piece passed to us in 1873 upon the acquisition of the Rio Tinto mines, which now sits in the Minas de Riotinto Town Museum in Spain. To guide us through this historical trove, we turned to our corporate archivist, Jacqui. "My role involves collecting, organising, and providing access to sources that illuminate the company’s past and help it plan for the future," Jacqui says. 📖 Discover the treasures hidden in our archives: https://lnkd.in/gHQcYyHB

From geologist to drilling supervisor to environmental advisor—Anthony’s journey at Resolution Copper is proof that growth and sustainability go hand in hand. Born and raised in the Globe-Miami area, mining is in his DNA—but so is protecting the land. “You’re not just here to get the copper and get out. You care about the land and the people that live here," Anthony says. 🔗 Read Anthony's story: https://lnkd.in/eAErF9xU #SustainableMining #Copper #EnergyTransition
