DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL For 2026, gold production is expected to decrease primarily due to stockpile processing during planned stripping. Copper production is expected to decrease due to lower grades as stripping increases for Phase 8 and an updated pit design related to Phase 7. Newmont is advancing the FS, permitting activities and some underground development work to support the underground expansion project and an investment decision, which is expected to be considered by the Newmont Board of Directors in mid-2026. Additionally, the Red Chris Block Cave project has been designated as a project of national interest by the Government of Canada.
