What Evolution Mining does

Australian gold and copper miner operating mines across Australia plus the Red Lake gold mine in Canada.

Sells gold and copper in concentrate or doré at market prices, with gold priced in US dollars while most costs are in Australian dollars, so metal prices and the exchange rate both matter. Copper-rich mines such as Ernest Henry give by-product credits that lower its reported gold cost. It bought Red Lake in Canada from Newmont in 2020.

In one line: A mid-tier Australian gold producer, akin to Kinross Gold.
