29Metals acknowledges First Peoples, the traditional custodians of the land on which we work throughout Australia. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. We recognise their connections to land, water and community, and their rich contribution to society.

We specifically acknowledge the Boon Warrung and Woimurrung (Wurundjeri) People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the lands where our head office is located, the Badimia People and the Southern Yamatji Nation – Widi mob who are the traditional custodians of the land where the Golden Grove Mine is located, and the Kalkadoon People, the traditional custodians of the land where the Capricorn Copper Mine is located.
