Newmont's Mexican division expressed optimism on December 11, 2024, regarding ongoing dialogue with the Mexican government concerning a proposed increase in mining royalties. This development is crucial for the company's operations in the region, particularly its large Peñasquito mine.
The proposed hike in mining royalties has been a point of concern for the industry, with the country's mining chamber warning that it could potentially hinder over $6.9 billion in investments over the next two years. Newmont's Peñasquito mine is a significant polymetallic operation, producing gold, silver, zinc, and lead.
The 'openness for dialogue' from the Mexican government suggests a potential path to a resolution that could mitigate adverse impacts on Newmont's investments and operational stability in Mexico. This engagement is vital for securing the long-term viability of its assets in the country.
