Global gold major Newmont has awarded international technology company ABB a $A24M contract to provide mine hoist systems to increase production at the Tanami underground gold mine in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Lower gold production and $US195M of COVID-19 related care and maintenance costs have helped halve global miner Newmont’s June 2020 qtr (Q2 20) net income to $412M from Q1 20’s $837M, with adjusted net income down to $261M from $326M.
Attributable gold production was down to $1.26Moz from 1.48Moz.
The ramifications of the global COVID-19 pandemic has cut gold major Newmont’s Q2 20 net income in half on increased costs and lower production
Endeavour Mining has completed its mutually agreed, $C1B ($US690.7M), all-share takeover bid for fellow Canadian miner SEMAFO to create the biggest gold producer in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.
The amalgamation creates a leading West African gold company with 6 operations, including 4 cornerstone mines, with combined FY/CY2020 year estimated output of 1Moz+, making it bigger than Newmont Goldcorp and Barrick in West Africa.
Australia’s gold output for the Mar 2020 qtr has fallen 12% to 77t on Dec 2019 with many operators taking advantage of higher prices in 2019 and early 2020.
Gains on the sales of its Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, Continental Gold and Red Lake interests, higher production from the acquired Goldcorp assets and higher realised gold prices have lifted gold giant Newmont’s March qtr (Q1) net income from continuing operations to $US837M, from $113M in the previous corresponding period.
Gold, silver and copper production from Evolution Mining’s 6 Australian operations fell in the Mar 2020 qtr (Q3 20) -- gold to 165,502oz from Q2 20’s 170,890oz, silver to 118,224oz from 137,262oz and copper to 4,832t from 5,572t.
However, C1 cash costs also eased to $A767oz from $778oz, AISC to $991oz from $1,069oz and all-in-costs to $1,069oz from $1,584oz. Mine operating cash flow increased 10% qtr-on-qtr (QoQ) to $257.4M, with net mine cash flow 11% better QoQ to $159.7M and free cash flow jumping 33% QoQ to $111.5M.
Despite easing Q3 20 production, Evolution has racked up some impressive cash flows, with more in the wings from its recent Canadian acquisition. By Mark Mentiplay
No 1 global gold producer Newmont has established a $US20M fund that will partner with local governments, medical institutions, charities and non-governmental organisations to help host communities, governments and employees combat COVID-19.
CEO Tom Palmer expects the new fund, which builds on Newmont’s other local contributions and programs, to be the catalyst for long-term resiliency and future community development.
Palmer says the health of its business is inextricably linked to the health of the communities hosting its operations.
Australia-based miner Evolution Mining has completed its $US375M acquisition of Newmont’s 13-year LoM Red Lake underground gold operation in W Ontario, Canada.
Evolution exec chairman Jake Klein says that in the absence of any material impact from the COVID-19 virus, Red Lake’s June 2020 qtr gold production is expected to be around 25,000oz. The company is accelerating underground development to over 1,000m per month, a big increase on the average 668m per month achieved in the Dec 2019 half.
