Diesel use from our mobile equipment and rail fleet represents around 13% of our total Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Although electrification is the preferred long- term solution for reducing diesel emissions, it is not technically or financially feasible at all mining operations today, or for all types of equipment. Electrification is well suited to our greenfield applications where we have large fleets, but less so to brownfield operations with smaller fleets, shorter mine life or other operational complexities. Complementary pathways are therefore in development and include the use of renewable diesel to more immediately reduce diesel-sourced emissions. Electrification The electric vehicles required to support meaningful emissions reductions for the mining industry are unique from those deployed in the transportation or logistics sectors, or consumer vehicles with fixed routes and operating conditions. Mining solutions must be adaptable to changing mine plans, supported by flexible charging locations and powerful enough to support intense work cycles with high operating hours and loads. Most importantly, they need to be safe, reliable and have sufficient battery capacity and run-time between charging cycles. Charging infrastructure must also be dynamic and support evolving mine plans and equipment routes which may mean that charging stations cannot remain permanently in one location or must be complemented by mobile solutions. The charging network requires access to sufficient and reliable renewable energy. In 2024, we progressed the following electrification activities: 1) Battery-electric haul truck Pilbara collaboration : We progressed our partnership with
