A significant milestone for the #RedChris Block Cave project.

#Newmont welcomes the Province of British Columbia’s approval of key regulatory authorizations, advancing the project toward a final investment decision later this year.

These approvals support the transition to block caving, extending mine life into the mid-2040s and unlocking long-term value.

Delivered through collaboration with the #Tahltan Nation, this reflects our shared commitment to responsible development and Indigenous partnership.

Come this fall, the cost of every new home, major project and small business will cost more.
