Gold Bull Market Moves Up to Phase Three
Newmont Mining Trading as if Gold at $538 Per Ounce, Not $700 (NEM)
Newmont Mining Report by Ron S Miller
Lately, Newmont Mining(NEM) has been lagging the price of gold. NEM shareholders expect NEM to outperform the metal. Here is some basic information regarding NEM.
NEM Projections 2006 (millions) :
Consolidated ounces of Gold: 7.7-7.9
Equity ounces of Gold: 6.1-6.25
Average Cost: 280-295
Consolidated ounces of Copper: 470-475 pounds
Equity ounces of Copper: 250-255 pounds
Average Cost: .64
Yanacocha( Peru):
Consolidated Ounces of Gold: 2.585-2.620
Equity ounces of Gold: 1.330-1.345
Average Cost: 185-195
Newmont shows a total of 1,850,000 ounces of gold under Price Capped Contracts in a chart entitled Gold Derivative Position. Most of this is for 2008-2009. I'll try to get more details as I'm pulling this info off a chart on the NEM website. NEM is against hedging, but could be stuck with hedges from the Normandy buyout. Overall, this is a small percentage of reserves.
While NEM has a 100% ownership in some mines, in others, NEM owns a percentage. NEM owns 51% of the Yanacocha mine. Last quarter, this mine contributed 28.7% of NEM's gold. For the year, Yanacocha is expected to provide 21.8% of NEM's gold. Yanacocha is expecting to spend major money on exploration in Peru, in the 1.5-2 billion range. It is doubtful that Peru will nationalize mines. All that mining investment money would leave. NEM President Pierre Lassonde has warned Peru about the importance of keeping a good investment environment.
Copper has been increasing faster than gold. Last quarter, copper contributed 12% of NEM's revenue. Copper sells for about $3.50 per pound. NEM expects to mine over 250 million pounds of copper at .64 per pound.
NEM has a portfolio of royalties, investments in oil, as well as, a huge amount of land that is being explored. NEM is a solid gold share investment. It is not the same as owning gold or GLD.
NEM comes with more risk than gold, but with even greater potential.
