Forward Guidance
Newmont anticipates steadily increasing production and improving costs from its global portfolio. They are committed to disciplined capital allocation and providing superior returns to shareholders through their dividend framework.
Positive Outlook
- 2023 production guidance is between 5.7 and 6.3 million gold ounces.
- Production is expected to steadily improve to between 6.1 and 6.7 million ounces in the longer-term.
- Gold CAS guidance is $870 to $970 per ounce and Gold AISC guidance is $1,150 to $1,250 per ounce for 2023.
- Costs are expected to improve throughout the five-year period, driven by declining inflationary pressure assumptions, increasing production levels and cost reduction initiatives.
- Sustaining capital guidance is $1.0 to $1.2 billion for 2023, consistent with longer-term averages
Challenges Ahead
- 2023 production is expected to be stable compared to 2022, partially offset by decreases at Peñasquito due to planned mine sequencing.
- 2023 production is expected to be stable compared to 2022, partially offset by the updated mine plan for a leach-only operation at CC&V.
- 2023 production is expected to be stable compared to 2022, partially offset by the previously signaled delay of commercial production at Ahafo North and Tanami Expansion 2 to 2025.
- 2023 CAS is expected to have approximately 3% in cost escalation assumed as cost pressures are expected to persist from 2022.
- The Yanacocha Sulfides project is being critically assessed, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure, which may have an impact on expected capital spend included in outlook for 2023 and 2024.
