Newmont records 100 million ounces in Gold Reserves, the largest stash in Company History.

Denver:
“Newmont has the largest gold reserve base in the industry underpinned by our world-class ore bodies in top tier jurisdictions. In 2019, we added almost 50 million ounces of gold reserves through the acquisition of Goldcorp, formation of the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and the continuation of our leading exploration program. Our reserve and resource base will support stable production of more than 6 million ounces per annum for decades to come.”

Tom Palmer President and Chief Executive Officer Newmont Corporation

Newmont Corporation  has reported gold Mineral Reserves  of 100.2 million attributable ounces for 2019 compared to 65.4 million ounces at the end of 2018, an increase of 53 percent after successfully completing two historic transactions and through ongoing exploration success. 

“Newmont has the largest gold reserve base in the industry underpinned by our world-class ore bodies in top tier jurisdictions. In 2019, we added almost 50 million ounces of gold reserves through the acquisition of Goldcorp, formation of the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and the continuation of our leading exploration program,” said Tom Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our reserve and resource base will support stable production of more than 6 million ounces per annum for decades to come.”

Key highlights and differentiators:

• Industry’s largest gold Mineral Reserves of 100.2 million ounces
• Gold reserves located in top-tier jurisdictions with 88 percent in Americas and Australia
• Gold reserve life at operating sites of >10 years underpinned by a strong base at Boddington, Tanami, Ahafo, Peñasquito, and Nevada Gold Mines, and further enhanced from our eight other operating mines and equity ownership in Pueblo Viejo
• Significant gold reserves per share with 124 ounces per 1,000 shares
• Tanami added 1.5 million ounces of gold reserves, 1.1 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold resources and 1.6 million ounces of inferred resource
• Stable production profile underpinned by long life operating assets such as Boddington with 14 years; Tanami and Peñasquito with 12 years and Ahafo with 11 years
• Significant exposure to copper, silver, zinc, and lead with 63 million gold equivalent ounces (GEO)
• Measured & Indicated gold Mineral Resources of 76.7 million ounces; Inferred of 31.3 million ounces.

• Reported figures include Red Lake and the Company’s 50 percent interest in Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM). Newmont successfully completed the sale of KCGM in January 2020 and expects to close the divestment of Red Lake in the first quarter of 2020. Combined, these sites represented approximately 4.5 million ounces of gold reserves and 2.6 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources (resources), bringing Newmont’s adjusted 2019 gold Mineral Reserves to 95.7 and Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources² to 74.1 million ounces.
  Newmont’s reserve base is a key differentiator with 88 percent of gold reserves located in top-tier jurisdictions in the Americas and Australia, an operating reserve life of more than 10 years and average reserve grade of 1.05 grams per tonne. In addition, Newmont significantly increased its exposure to other metals, with an estimated 63 million gold equivalent ounces¹ from copper, silver, zinc, lead and molybdenum.
  In 2019, Newmont reported 100.2 million ounces of gold Mineral Reserves and 95.7 million ounces after adjusting for the KCGM and Red Lake divestments. The Company added 42.2 million net ounces of gold reserves through its acquisition of Goldcorp and formation of the Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) joint venture, after adjusting for revisions at select Goldcorp operating sites, which were assessed using Newmont’s rigorous technical standards.
