NEWMONT ANNOUNCES CANADIAN COMPETITION BUREAU CLEARANCE FOR ACQUISITION OF NEWCREST

The Canadian Competition Bureau issued a no-action letter clearing Newmont Corp.'s previously announced transaction with Newcrest Mining Ltd. under Canadian competition law. Newmont is progressing toward receiving regulatory approvals in other jurisdictions for a transaction close expected in the fourth quarter.

On May 14, Newmont signed a definitive agreement to acquire Newcrest. The combination would create a world-class portfolio of assets with the highest concentration of Tier 1 operations, primarily in favourable, low-risk mining jurisdictions. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company would deliver a multidecade production profile from 10 large, long-life, low-cost, Tier 1 operations, and increased annual copper production primarily from Australia and Canada. The combined business is anticipated to generate annual pretax synergies of $500-million, expected to be achieved within the first 24 months, while also targeting at least $2-billion in the first two years after closing through portfolio optimization.
