Australia’s Newcrest Mining joins the ranks of Barrick Gold Corp in losing out on the global gold market.

Via Reuters: “Newcrest and its peers have all been hammered by a 26 percent plunge in gold prices this year, and been forced to book huge writedowns, slow expansion projects and slash costs. Canadian rival Barrick Gold Corp last week announced the biggest writedowns in the gold industry at $8.7 billion.

“The Australian gold miner reiterated it would focus on slashing costs and boosting production from its lowest cost mines, as it looks to shore up cashflow and fend off another downgrade in its credit rating.”
