US-based Newmont Mining Corporation has indicated that it could seek to gain full ownership of the Super Pit gold mine in Western Australia. Barrick Gold recently flagged the possible sale of its 50 per cent stake in the massive mine. Newmont CEO Gary Goldberg has stressed that organic growth rather than acquisitions remains the big miner’s primary focus, but adds that its knowledge of the Super Pit could make it an exception. He notes that Newmont acquired the Cripple Creek & Victor mine in 2015 at a time when the gold price was lower.
