  1. Given the anticipated lower production from Lihir and Brucejack in 2025, resulting in an estimated gold production of 5.6 million ounces from the core portfolio , how does the company plan to address this decline and what measures are being taken to improve production levels at these operations?

  2. With the expected annual sustaining capital spend of around $1.8 billion over the next few years due to critical tailings work at Cadia , how will this significant expenditure impact the company's free cash flow and capital allocation priorities?

  3. Considering the escalation in labor costs, particularly contracted labor, contributing to higher than expected direct costs and G&A spend , what strategies are being implemented to manage these cost pressures and improve margins?

  4. Given the focus on optimizing the go-forward portfolio of 11 managed operations and three projects in execution , how does the company prioritize potential new projects like Wafi-Golpu, especially when the current projects are already consuming significant resources ?

  5. Having achieved the initial synergy run rate target of $500 million , are there additional synergies or cost-saving opportunities that the company is pursuing to enhance shareholder value, particularly in light of the higher than expected costs and production challenges?

Newmont’s acquisition of Newcrest Mining was valued at approximately $19 billion and executed via a court-approved scheme of arrangement, with Newcrest shareholders receiving 0.400 Newmont shares per share plus a special dividend of $1.10 per share. The deal strategically combines a world-class portfolio of Tier 1 gold and copper assets with anticipated pre-tax synergies of $500 million annually, enhancing global market positioning.

Yanacocha

Newmont consolidated its position in Yanacocha to 100% by acquiring Buenaventura's 43.65% stake for $300 million (plus contingent payments and royalties) and completing the repurchase of Sumitomo’s 5% interest for $48 million. This acquisition refocused the asset with a view toward portfolio optimization despite challenging market conditions and project investment uncertainties.
