Newcrest Mining Limited (OTCMKTS:NCMGF) is an Australian‐based gold and copper producer and one of the world’s leading mining companies. Headquartered in Melbourne, the company engages in the exploration, development, extraction and processing of mineral resources, focusing primarily on gold with copper and silver as key by‐products. Newcrest’s integrated operations encompass the full mining lifecycle, from early‐stage exploration through to mine closure planning.
Newcrest’s diversified portfolio spans multiple continents, with significant operations in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Canada and Côte d’Ivoire. Major producing assets include the Cadia Valley operation in New South Wales and the Telfer mine in Western Australia, alongside assets in Papua New Guinea such as the Lihir and Hidden Valley mines. The company also expanded its North American footprint through the acquisition of Pretium Resources, bringing the Red Chris and Brucejack mines in British Columbia into its portfolio.
Established as a listed entity on the Australian Securities Exchange, Newcrest has pursued growth through a combination of organic exploration and strategic M&A. The 2010 merger with Lihir Gold and the recent takeover of Pretium Resources exemplify its approach to building a globally diversified asset base. With exploration projects and joint ventures—such as the Wafi-Golpu gold-copper development in Papua New Guinea—Newcrest continues to advance reserves and resources to underpin future production.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Biswas, appointed in late 2022 following his tenure as Chief Financial Officer, the company has prioritized operational excellence, cost management and sustainable mining practices. The board and executive team emphasize stakeholder engagement, environmental stewardship and community partnerships to support long-term value creation and minimize the social and environmental footprint of its operations.
