Stars
Tanami Expansion Project
The Tanami Expansion Project in Australia is a high-growth Newmont asset in a Tier 1 jurisdiction; Phase 2 aims to lift annual gold production by ~35% to ~700k oz and extend mine life beyond 2040 per Newmont’s 2025 technical update.
With average realized gold prices near $1,900/oz in 2025, Tanami’s incremental output could add ~$70–80M EBITDA annually, though it needs ~US$450M–$500M more capital for processing and infrastructure through 2027.
Brucejack High Grade Mine
Located in British Columbia, Brucejack is among the highest-grade operating gold mines globally, averaging ~10 g/t gold in 2024 and producing ~200 koz gold equivalent in 2024; Newmont acquired the asset and since 2021 has spent >$150M on exploration and resource expansion.
As a BCG Matrix star, Brucejack delivers high output in a stable Canadian regulatory setting while still requiring capital for underground development—Newmont budgeted ~$120M CAPEX for 2025–2026 to sustain production and extend mine life.
Lihir Optimization Initiative
The Lihir Optimization Initiative positions Lihir (Papua New Guinea) as a Newmont high-potential asset: in 2024 it produced ~410 koz gold, and by end-2025 Newmont plans $150–200M more capex to deploy advanced refractory processing to lift recovery by ~6–10 percentage points.
Boddington Autonomous Operations
Boddington, Newmont Mining’s flagship WA mine, is a premier gold-copper producer that shifted into a high-tech, high-growth hub after installing autonomous haulage systems (AHS) in 2023; output rose to ~650 koz Au and 120 kt Cu in 2024, lifting unit margins by ~12% year-over-year.
AHS improved cycle times and utilization, helping Newmont capture more copper-gold market share; ongoing capex (~US$50–70m annually) for software and sensors is needed but positions Boddington to become a large cash cow as ore continuity and copper demand mature.
- 2024 prod: ~650 koz Au, 120 kt Cu
- AHS margin uplift: ~12% YoY
- Annual tech capex: US$50–70m
- Path: high-growth hub → cash cow by late 2020s
Strategic Copper Growth Portfolio
Newmont has shifted heavily into copper, adding projects like the 2023 acquisition of Newcrest assets and planned Oakajee-like greenfield spending, lifting copper portfolio to ~15% of capital allocation and targeting 200–300 kt Cu pa by 2030 to serve EV and grid demand.
These copper assets are Stars: demand growth >6% CAGR to 2030, high margins potential, but they burn large development cash—Newmont guiding ~$1.2–1.5bn annual copper capex in 2024–25—to secure future market leadership.
- Copper share ~15% of capex
- Target 200–300 kt Cu pa by 2030
- Guided copper capex $1.2–1.5bn (2024–25)
- Market demand growth ~6% CAGR to 2030
$1.9–2.0bn capex to unlock ~$400–500M EBITDA from high-growth “Star” assets
Tanami, Brucejack, Lihir, Boddington and copper portfolio are Stars: high growth, strong margins, but require ~$1.9–2.0bn total capex through 2027–2030 to scale; combined incremental EBITDA potential ~+$400–500M annually at 2025 prices.
| Asset | 2024–25 Prod | Key Capex | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tanami | ~700k oz target | $450–500M | +~$75M EBITDA |
| Brucejack | ~200k oz | $120M | high grade |
| Lihir | ~410k oz | $150–200M | +6–10% recovery |
| Boddington | 650k oz /120kt Cu | $50–70M pa | margin +12% YoY |
| Copper portfolio | target 200–300kt by 2030 | $1.2–1.5bn pa (24–25) | growth >6% CAGR |

Cash Cows
Peñasquito Polymetallic Mine
Peñasquito, Newmont’s world-class polymetallic mine in Zacatecas, Mexico, produces gold, silver, lead and zinc with industry-leading recovery rates and 2024 attributable production of ~380 koz AuEq, delivering high per-ounce margins.
As a mature operation, Peñasquito generated roughly $1.1 bn free cash flow in 2024, funding Newmont’s dividend program and reducing net debt by ~$900 m that year.
Low sustaining and expansion capex—about $150–180 m annually through 2025—means minimal growth capital vs output, keeping Peñasquito the firm’s primary liquidity engine into 2025.
Cadia Valley Operations
Following Newcrest integration, Cadia Valley Operations is Newmont’s cash cow, producing low-cost copper and gold with C1 cash costs near US$600/oz gold-equivalent and copper by-product credits; in 2024 Cadia contributed ~US$1.1bn EBITDA and ~15% of Newmont’s consolidated production.
Its established infrastructure and scale drive all-in sustaining costs around US$820/oz, yielding industry-leading margins that fund exploration and M&A; Cadia’s steady cash flow underwrote Newmont’s 2024 US$2.5bn capital allocation to growth and acquisitions.
Ahafo Operations in Ghana
Ahafo in Ghana is a mature, high-margin producer for Newmont, delivering ~530 koz of gold in 2024 and generating roughly $700–900m EBITDA annually for Newmont’s African portfolio. It holds a dominant regional market share and a low all-in sustaining cost near $800/oz in 2024, so Ahafo’s main role is steady cash flow with minimal capital expenditure needs beyond sustaining projects.
Merian Gold Mine
The Merian gold mine in Suriname is a low-cost, high-margin cash cow for Newmont, producing ~260 koz of gold in 2024 at AISC (all-in sustaining cost) near $850/oz, delivering robust free cash flow while in a steady-state production phase.
It contributed materially to Newmont’s consolidated cash flow in 2024—roughly $400–500m attributable free cash flow—and needs minimal sustaining capital, letting management harvest returns and reallocate focus to higher-growth, higher-volatility projects.
- 2024 production ~260 koz
- AISC ~ $850/oz (2024)
- Attributable FCF ~ $400–500m (2024)
- Low sustaining capex; stable life-of-mine profile
Porcupine Mining Complex
Porcupine Mining Complex (Timmins, Ontario) is one of North America’s longest-running operations and acts as a steady cash cow for Newmont, generating roughly US$250–300m EBITDA annually in recent years (2023–2024) from mature, low-capex mines.
With major development largely complete, cash conversion is high—free cash flow margins near 30%—supporting dividends and debt paydown while growth prospects stay limited.
Its large reserve base and high relative portfolio share make Porcupine a predictable, low-growth, high-share asset crucial to Newmont’s stable cash profile.
- Location: Timmins, Ontario
- EBITDA: ~US$250–300m (2023–24)
- Free cash flow margin: ~30%
- Status: Mature, low capex, high cash conversion
- Role: Predictable returns in low-growth, high-share position
Newmont’s cash cows drive robust FCF, funding dividends, debt paydown and M&A
Newmont’s cash cows—Peñasquito, Cadia, Ahafo, Merian, Porcupine—delivered steady, high-margin free cash flow in 2024 (Peñasquito FCF ~$1.1bn; Cadia EBITDA ~$1.1bn; Ahafo EBITDA ~$700–900m; Merian FCF ~$400–500m; Porcupine EBITDA ~$250–300m), funding dividends, debt reduction, and M&A while requiring low sustaining capex.
| Asset | 2024 Prod/EBITDA | AISC/FCF |
|---|---|---|
| Peñasquito | ~380 koz AuEq | FCF ~$1.1bn |
| Cadia | ~15% portfolio; EBITDA ~$1.1bn | AISC ~$820/oz |
| Ahafo | ~530 koz | AISC ~$800/oz |
| Merian | ~260 koz | FCF ~$400–500m |
| Porcupine | EBITDA ~$250–300m | FCF margin ~30% |
