“Newmont technical teams identified the potential of the deposit and have supported Continental as it advanced Buritica toward production,” said Tom Palmer, Newmont Chief Executive Officer and President. “While we have valued our partnership with Continental, this is an appropriate time to sell into a strong bid and remain focused on operating our world-class portfolio of assets, optimizing our leading project pipeline and investing in growing Reserves and Resources.”
Newmont intends to use proceeds from the transaction to support the Company’s priorities to return capital to shareholders, invest in profitable projects and strengthen the balance sheet.
The proposed transaction involves Newmont tendering its 19.9 percent equity stake and selling its convertible bond, thereby exiting from its shareholding in and financing arrangements with Continental. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter 2020, is subject to Continental shareholder approval and certain closing conditions.
