What Newmont does

World's largest gold-mining company, also producing copper, silver and other metals from mines across several continents.

Sells gold, copper, silver, zinc and lead at market prices. The 2023 Newcrest acquisition made it bigger and added copper, and since then it has sold non-core mines to concentrate on its largest operations.
