In 2002, Zinifex engaged Alisdair Blackman to lead the design and delivery of a new corporate intranet to improve internal communication across its multi-site operations. To support its ASX-listed obligations and enhance transparency, the project also included an Investor Relations extranet—providing secure access for shareholders, brokers, and media.

Strategic Activities

  • Planned, specified, and delivered a company-wide intranet for operational communication
  • Designed and deployed an Investor Relations extranet to support continuous disclosure
  • Delivered both platforms within the 12-month timeframe and $485K budget
  • Oversaw UX, interface design, and stakeholder engagement across corporate and investor audiences

Key Outcomes

  • Improved internal knowledge sharing and operational alignment across sites
  • Strengthened investor engagement and media access through secure digital channels
  • Platforms remained in use until Zinifex’s merger with Oxiana Limited to form OZ Minerals

This dual-platform solution positioned Zinifex as a leader in digital transparency and internal communications within the mining sector.
