Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Goldcorp Corporation have successfully concluded the transaction establishing Nevada Gold Mines LLC. The new company, owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick, and owned 38.5% by Newmont Goldcorp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new joint venture will rank as the largest global gold producing complex by a wide margin, with three of the world\u2019s top 10 Tier One1 gold assets (Goldstrike\/Carlin, Cortez and Turquoise Ridge\/Twin Creeks) and potentially another one in the making (Goldrush).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its assets in North-eastern Nevada comprise 10 underground and 12 open pit mines, two autoclave facilities, two roasting facilities, four oxide mills, a flotation plant and five heap leach facilities. In 2018 these operations produced a total of 4.1 million ounces of gold, approximately double that of the industry\u2019s next largest gold mine (Muruntau in Uzbekistan). The company has a strong reserve and resource base with Proven and Probable Reserves of 48.3 million ounces; Measured and Indicated Resources of 27.4 million ounces; and a further 7.5 million ounces of Inferred Resources with still more potential.2,3,4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevada Gold Mines is targeting production of between 1.8 and 1.9 million ounces at a preliminary estimated cost of sales5 of $940 to $970 per ounce and AISC6 of $920 to $950 per ounce for the second half of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrick President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow, who is chairman of the new company, says the establishment of Nevada Gold Mines was designed to combine arguably the industry\u2019s best assets and people in order to deliver the best value to stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIts creation was driven by a compelling logic which had long been evident to all but had been elusive for two decades until we finally achieved a breakthrough this year,\u201d Bristow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past months we have selected and set Nevada Gold Mines\u2019 leadership in place. The company now has one team that shares one vision, and who are more than ready to race out of the starting blocks. We have also identified the very significant synergy opportunities which are immediately available and those which have been targeted for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Goldberg, Newmont Goldcorp\u2019s Chief Executive Officer said, \u201cThis innovative joint venture represents a unique opportunity to generate additional long-term value for our shareholders, employees, and the communities of northern Nevada. By combining our assets and talent in Nevada, the joint venture will extend safe, profitable and responsible production much further than what each company could have done on its own. We look forward to actively participating in and supporting the JV to deliver a positive step-change in results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identified synergies are expected to deliver up to $500 million per year over the first five years from 2020, stepping down over time after that. These will come mainly from integrated mine planning, optimized mining and processing, cost reductions and the combination of the adjacent Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which will be operated as a single mine. Second half guidance builds in those synergies that the company believes it should be able to realize within the next six months, representing approximately half of the targeted annual cash flow improvements. With the closing of the JV now complete, the company will look to incorporate further synergies to benefit 2020 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future benefits include longer profitable mine lives, longer-term employment opportunities, longer-term benefit-sharing with local communities and longer-term advantages for Nevada\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bristow noted that the Nevada Gold Mines management team included executives from both joint venture partners. The Executive Managing Director is Greg Walker, formerly head of operations and technical excellence for Barrick\u2019s North American region. Barrick has three board seats and Newmont Goldcorp two, with the board supported by technical, finance and exploration advisory committees on which both companies have equal representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
