Newmont Achieves First Gold Pour at Ahafo North Project in Ghana

Newmont Achieves First Gold Pour at Ahafo North Project in Ghana

This achievement follows the completion of key development phases, including ore stockpiling that began in late 2024, and the commissioning of critical infrastructure, such as processing circuits, mining support facilities, and a tailings storage facility. The project is currently ramping-up toward full operational readiness.

"The first gold pour at Ahafo North represents a major operational milestone that validates years of careful planning, engineering, and construction, and builds on the strength of our world-class portfolio," said Tom Palmer, Newmont's Chief Executive Officer. "As we progress toward commercial production, we remain focused on generating enduring value for our shareholders, workforce, host communities, and the government of Ghana."

Ahafo North is expected to deliver between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces of gold annually over a 13-year mine life. The project has created approximately 4,500 contracted jobs and once operational, will create approximately 560 permanent and 1,000 contracted roles – while contributing significantly to Ghana's economy through royalties, taxes, fees and local development programs.

Located at Afrisipakrom, about 30 kilometers from the Company's Ahafo South operations, Ahafo North is part of the broader Ahafo lease acquired from Normandy Mining in 2002. Considered the best unmined gold deposit in West Africa, Ahafo North represents Newmont's third mining investment in Ghana and, following the divestment of the Akyem mine in April 2025, will become the Company's second operational site in the country.

The successful pour affirms both the project's sound technical design and Newmont's disciplined project execution approach, positioning Ahafo North as a key asset in the company's long-term growth strategy.

Gold has a reputation for being a reliable diversifier because it can act as a hedge against various risks.

For those unfamiliar with the term, put simply, a hedge is an investment position whose main purpose is to offset potential losses or gains related to another asset. But how does that work, and what's the best way to get exposure to gold as a hedge?
