Newmont Publishes 2021 Climate Report

Today, Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) published its 2021 Climate Report , the Company's annual report prepared in alignment with the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The report outlines how Newmont understands and is addressing climate change — from reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, to managing risks, to enhancing resilience within the Company and neighboring communities.

"Climate change, and its impact on our world, continues to be one of the greatest global challenges. It is our responsibility to work alongside government, investors and communities to effect change," said Newmont President and CEO Tom Palmer. "Newmont is addressing these challenges by setting science-based emissions reduction targets and leveraging our size, scale and resources to build strategic alliances to develop future technologies. We are driven by our commitment to our purpose — to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining."

Highlights from the Climate Report include:

  • Climate scenario analysis: Updates to the detailed climate risk scenarios and assumptions Newmont uses in understanding the risks associated with climate change on our business, strategies and financial resilience. Included in the updates is a new "Accelerated Response" scenario that includes an emissions trajectory consistent with limiting global temperature to 1.5 o C , which is in accordance with the International Energy Agency's World Energy Model Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario;
  • Pathways to achieving 2030 reduction targets and our 2050 goal to be carbon neutral: Newmont has set absolute and intensity-based targets with a reduction of 32% for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 30% for Scope 3 emissions by 2030, with the ultimate goal to be carbon neutral by 2050. In 2021, our 2030 targets were reviewed and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The report provides pathways for achieving those targets, including potential investments into renewable energy projects and converting power purchase agreements to reduce emissions by more than one million tons of carbon per year. The report further examines the technology focus areas and partnerships necessary to help us achieve our 2050 goal; and
  • Energy and emissions performance: Site-level and consolidated data for 2021, along with trailing five-year data are included in the report to provide clarity on our consumption of both fuels and energy, as well as progress toward our targets.

Newmont's Climate Report complements our recently published 2021 Sustainability Report and reinforces our commitment to provide stakeholders with a transparent and detailed look at our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and practices. An executive summary of the Climate Report and Sustainability Report is also available on Newmont's website .

White Gold Featured in the Mining Journal

White Gold Corp. (TSXV:WGO,OTC:WHGOF,FRA:29W) has been featured in a sponsored article published by the Mining Journal.

The article covered recent results from White Gold’s 2019 exploration program which is comprised of 17,000 meters of diamond drilling, 7,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling and upcoming drill plans. To date, White Gold has identified multiple new high-grade mineralization trends across its JP Ross project and White Gold project in the Yukon’s White Gold district. The new trends were all delineated within 10 kilometers away from last year’s Vertigo discovery area.

Investor Education: US Debt and Currency Collapse with Expert Don Hansen

Private investor Don Hansen has honed his resource sector investment approach for more than 20 years, and in a conversation with the Investing News Network he shared his research on the US debt-to-GDP ratio.

Looking back to 1945, the ratio was at 111 percent due to major spending on World War II. However, by 1965 it was down to just 43 percent — Hansen noted that this happened on the back of a balanced budget and good economic growth. The ratio remained fairly stable from 1965 to 1985, but rose dramatically from 1985 to 2005.

"The debt grew 9.3 percent between 1985 and 2005, but the GDP only grew 6.1," he noted. "So obviously then the debt-to-GDP ratio was climbing, and in 2005 it was up to 61. So you're going up 50 percent in 20 years." By 2025, Hansen expects the ratio to rise to 150 percent, with debt growing 9.5 percent annually and GDP only increasing by 3 percent.

Falcon Gold Eyes Spring Drilling at Newfoundland Copper, Lithium and Gold Projects

Falcon Gold (TSXV:FG,FWB:3FA,OTCQB:FGLDF) is getting ready to ramp up exploration work at its gold, lithium and copper projects in Newfoundland, with permitting and subsequent drilling on the properties expected by spring 2024, according to CEO Karim Rayani.

“Once we get those permits in and we’re able to execute on our drill plan … we’ve been in a fairly slow period, but once drills start turning, I’m fairly optimistic we’ll be able to generate some high-grade material,” he said.

Falcon Gold’s Newfoundland landholdings are surrounded by significant deposits, which Rayani broke down in the interview. For example, its Golden Brook property hosts the Hope Brook zone, which is less than 10 kilometers from the new high-grade lithium discovery at Benton Resources (TSXV:BEX) and Sokoman Minerals' (TSXV:SIC,OTCQB:SICNF) Golden Hope project.

Chris Vermeulen: Gold's Next Move After New High, Silver and Uranium in 2024

Will the gold price keep rising after hitting a new all-time high on Monday (December 4)?

Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com thinks 2024 will be a big year for gold, but the near term is less certain.

"Really we're right at this threshold, this breakout level ... this US$2,089 (per ounce) level. Every time we've seen gold get up to these levels, we've seen a very big pullback. The average over the last three pullbacks has been about 17 percent," he told the Investing News Network on the day of the yellow metal's price milestone.
