JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Being a premier base metals-focused business with strong growth potential is the vision for South32 of new CEO Matt Daley.

“We’ve got around 55% production growth over the next handful of years in the commodities that we particularly feel are strongly structurally positioned for really strong years ahead, those being zinc, lead, silver, and copper,” said an upbeat Daley who spoke to Mining Weekly after taking over the reins of South32 from outgoing Graham Kerr on July 1.
