Newmont Corporation (symbol: NEM) is the world's leading gold company and a major producer of copper, silver, zinc, and lead. Newmont's impressive portfolio of assets is anchored across favorable mining jurisdictions in North America, South America, Australia, and Africa. As the only gold producer listed in the S&P 500 index, Newmont is widely recognized for its principled environmental, social, and governance practices. Founded in 1921 and publicly traded since 1925, Newmont has cemented its industry leadership through robust safety standards, superior execution, and technical proficiency.
Newmont's strategic acquisitions have significantly bolstered its position as the top gold miner globally. In 2019, Newmont purchased Goldcorp, and later that year, formed a joint venture with Barrick Gold to combine their Nevada mines. Most recently, in November 2023, Newmont acquired Newcrest Mining. These strategic moves have expanded Newmont's portfolio to include 17 wholly or majority-owned mines and interests in two joint ventures across the Americas, Africa, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.
Newmont is expected to produce approximately 6.9 million ounces of gold in 2024. Following the acquisition of Newcrest, Newmont plans to streamline its portfolio by selling higher-cost, smaller mines, which are forecasted to account for 20% of its sales in 2024. Alongside gold, Newmont also produces significant quantities of copper, silver, zinc, and lead as byproducts.
Newmont's commitment to value creation is evident in its long-term gold reserves, which are projected to last for about two decades as of December 2023. The company continually invests in innovative practices and sustainable developments, ensuring its operations support both economic growth and environmental care.
Newmont and MKS PAMP have partnered to launch a traceable gold bar made exclusively with Newmont-mined gold, refined and minted by MKS PAMP in Switzerland. The PAMP 1oz Lady of Liberty gold bar is now available at the largest U.S. wholesaler, making gold ownership more accessible for wealth building.
The traceable gold bar utilizes the Provenance™ solution, which ensures complete segregation of the gold throughout the refining and minting process, guaranteeing transparency and full traceability. The bar is sealed within a secured CertiPAMP™ packaging, serving as a certificate of authenticity and quality excellence.
This collaboration marks the launch of their first co-branded traceable gold bar, reflecting their shared values and sustainability commitments. Notably, Newmont is the only gold producer listed in the S&P 500 Index and is recognized for its environmental, social, and governance practices.
