Chairman's statement The stand out metric for NWR during the first six months of this year was our safety performance, with a LTIFR of 5.54. This is a record for the Company and represents a year-on-year improvement of 23%, which is testament to the focused and relentless work that the team at OKD has put into fostering a safety-first culture among our miners. Tragically, during August three fatalities occurred in a single accident. This comes at a time when we have been making good progress with safety at OKD. This will not diminish our effort to achieve the vision where every OKD employee and contractor returns home safely each day. This commitment is unwavering
