Snags for a good cause! 🌭🤝

Round 2 of our MATES in Mining series is officially on the books at Thungela’s Ensham Mine.

A huge thank you to all our employees and contractors who stepped up to grab a $5 snag (all proceeds donated to Mates in Mining). We were also proud to have General Manager, Matthew Lumb, joined by visiting South African GMs Edrich and Matome, showcasing firsthand how mateship brings crews together across the globe.

A snag might seem simple, but every bite sparks vital conversations, supports peer connections, and raises funds for mental health and su***de prevention.

Two down, two sizzles to go! Viva MATES, viva! 💛✨
