Newmont Initiates $2 Billion Cash Raise Through Divestments after Newcrest acquisition

In a strategic move following its acquisition of Australia’s Newcrest Mining, Newmont Corp. is gearing up to raise $2 billion in cash by divesting certain assets and reshuffling its project portfolio.

The acquisition, which amounted to approximately $15 billion, was successfully completed on a Monday, significantly boosting Newmont’s value to around $50 billion. As part of the deal, Newmont has gained five active mines and two advanced projects, further solidifying its position in the global mining industry.

Newmont’s CEO, Tom Palmer, recently shared insights into the company’s post-acquisition plans with Bloomberg. He emphasized that the newly merged entity would embark on a process to assess and potentially sell off certain mines, while also reevaluating and prioritizing exploration projects over the next two years.

This strategic reallocation of resources is aimed at ensuring a more efficient and consistent allocation of cash for reinvestment in the company’s mining operations.

Among the assets under consideration for divestment is Newmont’s Cripple Creek & Victor mine, situated in Teller County, Colorado. Palmer, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, highlighted that Cripple Creek “is certainly in that category of operations you debate around their fit.”

This suggests that the future of the Cripple Creek mine within Newmont’s portfolio is uncertain, and the company may be exploring the possibility of selling it.

It’s worth noting that Newmont originally acquired the Cripple Creek mine from AngloGold Ashanti for a substantial $820 million just eight years ago. In the nine months leading up to September, the mine yielded 134,000 ounces of gold, which represented a 7% increase compared to the previous year. However, despite the growth in production, Cripple Creek remained one of the smallest contributors to Newmont’s overall gold output.

Decision to Potentially Divest the Cripple Creek Mine

The decision to potentially divest the Cripple Creek mine reflects Newmont’s strategic focus on optimizing its portfolio, especially in the face of challenges that the mining industry is currently grappling with. This acquisition of Newcrest comes at a time when gold producers are confronting various hurdles, including stagnating output, the increasing difficulty of mining deposits, and rising input costs.

Newmont, in particular, has been grappling with stagnant bullion output for the past three years. The company projected that without a significant acquisition like Newcrest, its production levels would likely remain flat for another decade. This was a cause for concern for the mining giant, prompting the move to acquire Newcrest to revitalize and expand its operations.

Moreover, Newmont faced a challenging period earlier this year when a four-month strike disrupted operations at its Penasquito mine in Mexico. As a result, the company had to adjust its guidance and posted lower-than-expected earnings in the latest quarter, adding to the urgency of the Newcrest acquisition and the subsequent realignment of assets.

Meanwhile, Newmont Corp.’s plans to raise $2 billion through mine sales and project divestments mark a significant step in the wake of its acquisition of Newcrest Mining. The acquisition not only added substantial value to the company but also presented an opportunity for Newmont to optimize its portfolio and reallocate resources to ensure sustained growth in the face of challenges like stagnant production, complex mining deposits, and rising operational costs.

As the mining industry continues to evolve, Newmont’s strategic decisions will likely shape its future trajectory in the global market.
