Newmont Corporation NEM successfully completed the sale of its Ontario, Canada-based Red Lake complex to Evolution Mining Limited. The company received cash proceeds of $375 million from the deal and is entitled to future contingent payments of up to an additional $100 million related to the discovery of new resources.
The transaction provides Newmont an ongoing exposure to future exploration opportunities while it is focused on its globally diversified portfolio of 12 managed operations and two joint ventures, including 8 world-class assets.
Per the terms of the earlier-mentioned contingent payment, Evolution will pay $20 million to Newmont for each 1 million ounces of new gold resources added to the existing Red Lake resource base over a period of 15 years. Further, the contingent payment is applicable to the first 5 million ounces of new resources.
Considering the divestment of its interests in Continental and KCGM, Newmont generated total cash proceeds of more than $1.4 billion. The company attained its divestiture target of $1-$1.5 billion in less than a year.
Newmont expects the divestment of asset to support the continuation of its capital allocation priorities. It is also expected to strengthen the company’s investment grade balance sheet and enable investing in highest return projects as well as returning excess cash to shareholders.
Newmont’s shares have gained 29.7% in the past year against the industry’s decline of 30.3%.
