In deciding how we go about the process of closing that mine and transitioning it, given the reliance of the local community on the mine, given the fact that we've got 2,000 workers, many businesses serving that mine, we announced early on the intended closure. And then we pulled together a process by which we can co-create

the approach to closure and the approach to transition with local stakeholders. And that's served to build a lot of trust. It's also served to better inform some of our thinking and how we go about this. And at the end of the day, it's going to create better outcomes for the range of stakeholders that currently depend on that mine because they'll be able to have their say in the process.

and who've demonstrated a huge degree of trust in me as a leader and have been willing to trust the direction that I was setting. And so I wouldn't boil it down to one point.
