Newmont forecasts production of 6.5Moz for 2021

The world’s top bullion miner, Newmont, is forecasting production of 6.5-million ounces for 2021.

This is an increase of about 500 000 oz on the six-million ounces that the US-based gold major expects to produce this year.

The 2020 guidance was affected by five operations that were placed into care and maintenance, owing to Covid-related precautions.
