Name of the Project
Ahafo North gold project.

Location
About 30 km north of Newmont’s existing Ahafo South operations, in Ghana.

Project Owner/s
Newmont Corporation.

Project Description
Ahafo North is the best unmined gold deposit in West Africa, with about 3.5-million ounces of reserves and more than one-million ounces of measured, indicated and inferred resources and significant upside potential to extend beyond Ahafo North’s current 13-year mine life.

The project will include four openpit mines and the construction of a standalone mill.

Production from the mine will average about 275 000 oz/y to 325 000 oz/y of gold for more than three-million ounces of gold production over a 13-year mine life.

Potential Job Creation
The project will create about 1 800 jobs at the peak of construction, with more than 550 permanent roles once the mine is operational.

Newmont will work to create lasting value for host communities through local sourcing and hiring. A key aspect of the project’s workforce planning will be to achieve gender parity in the workforce when operations begin.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
At current gold prices, the project is expected to deliver more than a 30% internal rate of return.

Capital Expenditure
Projected capital costs are estimated to be between $750- to $850-million.

Planned Start/End Date
Construction is expected to be completed in late 2023, with commercial production expected in 2024.

Latest Developments
Financing for the project was approved in July 2021.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
None stated.
