Following it successful acquisition of Newcrest, Newmont Corporation is set to make its first major appearance at the 2023 PNG Resources & Energy Investment Conference and Exhibition in Sydney.
This marks a significant moment for Newmont, underlining the company's enhanced presence and commitment to the Papua New Guinea mining sector.
Newmont CEO, Tom Palmer, is leading the mining giant’s participation by providing an insight into what Newmont sees as potential opportunities within the PNG market.
Newmont’s participation as a key speaker reflects the diverse range of investors engaged in business within PNG, showcasing the industry's global significance and the company's dedication to fostering collaboration and development in the region.
Newmont (PNG) Managing Director, Alwyn Pretorius, will give an update on Lihir Gold Mine.
