Our Engagement Our Engagement Booklet is an annual publication for our employees, contractors, and external stakeholders. It is the culmination of our most recent work to uphold our commitments to the environment, prevention, and local communities. When we launched our Moments of Mine photo contest this past spring, the idea was to give our employees the opportunity to share with us the good times they were having despite the pandemic and lockdown. One of the contest winners, Jeannie Puxley, submitted this photo taken during a happy day she shared with her sisters while touring the land and enjoying the moment.
