*Denver, November 6, 2023* – Newmont Corporation has successfully completed the acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited, solidifying its position as the world’s leading gold company with robust copper production[1]. This historic milestone marks a significant transformation in the industry, with Newmont’s President and Chief Executive Officer emphasizing the focus on safely, efficiently, and responsibly integrating Newcrest’s assets and people into Newmont’s proven operating model[1]. The acquisition is expected to bring about more than half of the world’s Tier 1 assets, an unmatched portfolio of long-life operations, and abundant exploration opportunities[1]. Newmont’s purpose is to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining[1].
The acquisition is anticipated to result in substantial synergies and value creation, with an estimated $500 million in annual synergies and an estimated $2 billion in incremental cash flow[4]. This transaction also increases Newmont’s annual copper production, positioning the company to deliver superior value for its shareholders, workforce, host communities, and governments[4]. The combined group will set a new benchmark in gold production while benefitting from a material and growing exposure to copper[4].
Newmont’s acquisition of Newcrest follows its previous acquisition of Goldcorp Inc. in 2019, which further demonstrates the company’s commitment to maximizing value for its shareholders and other stakeholders[3]. The company’s sustainability strategy and initiatives have been recognized, with Newmont being the top gold miner in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the last eight years[4].
The acquisition of Newcrest is a significant move that is expected to have a lasting impact on the gold mining industry, reinforcing Newmont’s position as a key player in the global market.
