Newmont: Q1 attributable gold production decreased 4% to 1,675K ozs from Q4

Attributable gold production decreased 4 percent to 1,675 thousand ounces from the prior quarter primarily due to lower production at Tanami due to a planned mill shutdown and seasonal rainfall impacts, and the ongoing stripping campaigns at Boddington and Akyem. In addition, lower production was delivered from the non-managed joint venture at Nevada Gold Mines. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by higher production at Penasquito and Yanacocha, as well as a full quarter of ownership of the sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction. Full year production for 2024 is expected to be second-half weighted as previously indicated. Looking ahead, operations at Cerro Negro are currently suspended as a full investigation is conducted following the tragic fatalities of two members of the Newmont workforce on April 9, 2024. In addition, operations are temporarily suspended at Telfer, one of Newmont’s non-core assets, as further work is completed to remediate the safe operation of the tailings storage facility. Average realized gold price was $2,090, an increase of $86 per ounce over the prior quarter. Average realized gold price includes $2,082 per ounce of gross price received, a favorable impact of $19 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and reductions of $11 per ounce for treatment and refining charges.
