Following the sale, NEM’s remaining equity stake in Greatland is roughly 9.9%.
In coordination with Discovery, Newmont agreed to sell its entire shareholding in two phases, in May and July 2025. These shares were received as part of the consideration for the 2025 divestment of the Porcupine mine to Discovery.
