“2024 was a transformational year for Newmont, as we focused on the integration of the Newcrest portfolio, divestment of our non-core assets, and transitioning the business onto a stable operating and investment platform. We have deliberately streamlined Newmont into the world’s best collection of Tier 1 gold assets, with a strong foundation of operational and financial performance. Our record fourth quarter gave a glimpse into the promising potential of the business and allowed Newmont to deliver record operating cash flows,” said Tom Palmer, Newmont’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

”With the gold price predicted to remain strong and the proceeds from our divestiture program expected to materialize during the first half of 2025, we expect our balance sheet and liquidity remains robust. This year we are focused on continuing to improve the business across our safety, costs, and productivity performance. Looking to 2025 and beyond, our priorities are clear: maximize the potential of our Tier 1 portfolio, meet our commitments, return capital, and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
