We are Australia’s largest coal producer, with 17 mining operations across New South Wales and Queensland. In 2017 we produced over 88 million tonnes of saleable thermal and coking coal. Our coal is exported from the ports of Abbot Point, Dalrymple Bay, Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal, RG Tanna coal terminal (in Queensland) and from the Port of Newcastle and Port Kembla (in NSW).

Taxes and RoyaltiesIn 2017, Glencore paid more than $1.4 billion in taxes and royalties to Federal and State Governments in Australia. In the past 10 years, Glencore operations have paid more than $12 billion in taxes and royalties in Australia, of which nearly $2 billion was corporate income tax.

Daily Commodity Price Relative ChangeWhen it comes to our tax and royalty contribution, it is important to note:

• Corporate income tax is paid on taxable profits, not on revenue

• Our business is cyclical, highly capital intensive and our investment is long-term in nature

• Our profitability in Australia is generally driven by the price of our core commodities: coal, copper, nickel and zinc

• The price of all of these commodities improved considerably during 2017 after a five-year downturn, marked by low prices and low profitability. The improved commodity market and prices was reflected in Glencore’s profitability in Australia, and hence corporate tax liability

• Mining royalties are generally calculated and paid as a percentage of revenue per unit (tonne, ounce) of product sold

A unique business modelGlencore is highly diversified by geography and by commodity. We participate throughout the entire natural resources supply chain.

Exploration, acquisition and development

Our focus on brownfield sites and exploration close to existing assets lowers our risk profile and lets us

use existing infrastructure, realise synergies and control costs.

Extraction and production

We mine and beneficiate minerals across a range of commodities, mining techniques and countries, for processing or refining at our own

facilities, or for sale.

Processing and refining

Our expertise and technological advancement in processing and refining mean we can optimise our end products

to suit a wider customer base and provide a security of supply as well as valuable

market knowledge.

Blending and optimisation

Our ability to blend and optimise allows us to offer a wide range of product specifications,

resulting in a superior service and an ability to meet our customer specific requirements.

Logistics and delivery

Our logistics assets allow us to handle large volumes of commodities, both to fulfil our obligations and to take

advantage of demand and supply imbalances. These value added services make us a preferred counterparty for

customers without such capabilities.

Coal

Thermal coal is mainly used to generate electricity or heat. It is particularly useful for generating baseload power. Coking coal is used in steel production. We produce both premium ‘hard coking coal’ and lower-quality ‘semi-soft coking coal’, to suit customer needs.

Copper

From electronics, renewable energy and the electric car revolution, copper has a vast range of household and industrial uses. It is the preferred metal in many of these applications because of its superior electrical conductivity, and ability to heat up and cool down quickly.

Zinc

Zinc is mainly used to galvanise steel or iron – that is, to apply a zinc coating to stop it rusting. Galvanised steel is used in buildings, cars and electronics. Lead has a wide range of industrial uses including car batteries, weights, solders and radiation protection.

Nickel

Nickel is mainly used to make stainless steel: it adds strength and corrosion resistance to the steel, and is also used in types of steel designed to be less magnetic. Nickel compounds are used in batteries – increasingly so in the powerful batteries used in electric vehicles.

Agricultural products

Glencore Agriculture’s main customers include food manufacturers, animal feed manufacturers, consumer product processors, local importers and distributors and government purchasing bodies. From farm to fork, we connect growers with customers safely and efficiently.
