Newcrest Mining Limited (Newcrest) (ASX, TSX, PNGX: NCM) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Pretium Resources Inc. (Pretivm) (TSX, NYSE: PVG) (the Transaction).
Pretivm owns the Brucejack mine in the highly prospective Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, Canada.
Brucejack began commercial production in July 2017 and is one of the highest-grade operating gold mines in the world.
Newcrest’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Sandeep Biswas, said “We are delighted to reach this major milestone and I welcome our new shareholders, employees, First Nations partners, local
communities and business partners resulting from the Transaction. We are very excited to add Brucejack to Newcrest’s portfolio, which now includes exposure to six Tier 1 assets. Through this acquisition and the
continued development of our outstanding organic growth pipeline, Newcrest’s base case gold production is expected to remain strong until at least 2030, and we have a range of further upside opportunities being progressed across the portfolio. This production profile is also expected to drive a major reduction in All-In Sustaining Costs, which makes Newcrest unique in the industry.” “We have a proud history and depth of experience in operating epithermal gold mines over many years. We will pursue efficiencies to simplify mining and increase productivity through a holistic view of the Brucejack operations and orebody.”
“In parallel, our exploration team will be progressing an extensive drilling campaign across the Brucejack mineral claims which make up one of the largest epithermal footprints we have ever seen. The land package is
largely unexplored and very early in its life, and we see significant upside potential beyond Valley of the Kings and Golden Marmot.”
“The combined team is driven and has the capability to deliver our three phase transformation program which we believe will generate significant long-term value for our shareholders,” said Mr Biswas.
