He also highlighted progress on the divestment program, stating that Newmont had sold or reached definitive agreements to sell all six non-core operations, with potential pre-tax proceeds of up to $4.3 billion and expected cash proceeds of around $2.5 billion in the first half of 2025. Palmer addressed the company's focus on delivering three projects in execution, including the Cadia tailings and sustaining capital investments, while maintaining a $1 annual dividend and continuing share repurchases under a $3 billion program. He mentioned that the portfolio's scale was unprecedented in the gold industry, and discussed potential future growth projects such as Red Chris and Yanacocha sulfides, noting that Red Chris could become as much a copper mine as a gold mine if it meets investment criteria.
