DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL For 2026, gold production is expected to decrease due to the ramp-down of mining at Penaco Phase 7 as planned. At the same time, silver production is expected to increase, while lead and zinc production is expected to decrease largely due to grades milled, including increased stockpile processing. With the current focus on stripping, higher grades are expected beginning in 2028. (2) Newmont has identified high-priority exploration targets immediately to the east and west of the mine area under alluvial cover. Peñasquito has a large resource base and prospective land package with potential to extend the mine life to 2040.
