Newcrest Mining Concluded Acquisition of Pretium Resources

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Newcrest Mining Limited announced that it has completed the acquisition of Pretium Resources Inc., which owns the Brucejack mine in the highly prospective Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, Canada. Incidentally, Brucejack is one of the highest-grade operating gold mines in the world.

The above said acquisition coupled with the continued development of its outstanding organic growth pipeline, Newcrest expects the company’s base case gold production to remain extremely strong at least until 2030. The production profile is also expected to lead to major reduction in all-in sustaining costs. The addition of Brucejack lifts the company’s exposure to a total of six Tier-1 assets.

The three-phase transformation program will generate significant long-term value for its shareholders, the company said.
