Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) has announced that mining operations at Yanacocha will be required to safely ramp down in accordance with the coronavirus-related government restrictions in Peru. However, gold production from leach pads as well as management of critical safety and environmental activities will continue as usual.

Notably, Yanacocha has been operating normally since the start of 2020. It represents around 3% of Newmont’s 2020 attributable gold production outlook. Given that the situation is dynamic and duration of the restrictions are uncertain, the company is unable to establish the eventual impact on Yanacocha’s production and costs for 2020.

As of Mar 17, there were no confirmed COVID-19 cases among Newmont’s workforce. Also, there were no major disruptions to production at other facilities. The company is working proactively to protect people and ensure the continuity of its business during this global pandemic.

Newmont has established a global supply chain task force to ensure that all potential risks are assessed. The company is also developing viable contingency plans, which will enable it to stay ahead of any potential disruptions to its supply base as well as minimize the associated risks to its production and projects.

Newmont’s shares have gained 37.6% in the past year against the industry’s decline of 35.7%.



During fourth-quarter 2019 earnings call, the company stated that it expects attributable gold production of 6.4 million ounces for 2020.

For 2020, all-in sustaining cost for gold is projected at $975 per ounce and the cost applicable to sales expectation for gold is pegged at $750 per ounce.
