| We have the opportunity to improve our compliance to mine plants to improve our fixed and mobile equipment reliability and to improve our mill throughputs and recoveries |
| And by maintaining a strong balance sheet, we can ensure we have the ability to steadily fund cash-generative capital projects, all while returning capital to shareholders |
| At Cadia, we will commission our second block cave in this time frame bringing forward higher gold and copper grades whilst in parallel, leveraging our full potential program to improve their reliability and throughput |
| So a really nice, really nice gold opportunity there |
| Real potential at Brucejack to get a really solid understanding of that ore body in life and they have a contributing nice cash for quite some time to come from a nice ore body and exploration potential around that Valley of the Kings area |
| Our unit costs are expected to improve compared to 2023 due to steady production of net volumes and the delivery of synergies and full potential improvements with the lowest unit cost coming from Newmont's managed Tier 1 portfolio |
| By strengthen our operating model with block driving capability and an understanding of industry-leading practices in project development |
| And finally, simplifying the [indiscernible] mine plan is expected to deliver a strong improvement in gold production as we reach higher grades from Phase 14a |
| Bridging this gap will require significantly more copper mines, copper recycling and enhanced copper hedging processes, creating an exciting opportunity to Newmont to help meet this demand with the organic copper exposure we have in our portfolio, whilst continuing to provide unparalleled exposure to gold and its enduring value |
| And with a stable reduction and structured reinvestment, we are strongly positioned to integrate and deliver on our commitments in 2024, setting the stage to future proof these world-class assets with benchmark performance and meaningful growth in 2025 and beyond |
| First, to set the new sustainability standard and strengthened Newmont's position as the gold sector recognize sustainability leader |
| Second, to create the industry's strongest portfolio of world-class gold and copper assets in the most favorable mining jurisdictions |
| And I've been really impressed by the quality of the assets, the dedication of our people and the commitment from our operational leaders to drive safe and profitable production |
| As we look forward to this very important year of integration and transformation, I am very confident in the quality of our assets and the capability of our team to deliver on our commitments and justify our position as the benchmark gold equity |
| At Boddington, the stripping that we are doing today will bring forward strong gold and copper grades starting in 2026, all supported by the gold industry's only fully autonomous whole fleet |
| At our poly metallic mine Peñasquito, our focus is on delivering strong silver, lead and zinc from the Chile Colorado pit, and continuing wide stripping in the Peñasco pit to deliver higher gold grade in 2025 |
| And we believe reducing debt and returning capital to shareholders creates attractive value proposition for [indiscernible] existing investors while also improving the company's financial position over the long term |
| The industry-leading growth optionality in copper and gold through disciplined reinvestment and project execution and a balanced shareholder return framework |
| At Penasquito, the stripping that we are currently doing will bring forward a harder proportion of gold ounces from the Penasco pit, balancing with the strong production of silver, lead and zinc from the Chile Colorado pit |
| Newmont go forward Tier 1 portfolio sets the new standard for gold and copper mining and provides our shareholders with exposure to the highest concentration of Tier 1 assets in the sector, located in the most favorable mining jurisdictions, and with improving cost profile to maximize margins and generate strong free cash flow |
| Our goal portfolio positioned us to improve margins and performance over time, funding our capital allocation priorities and allowing us to reward our shareholders directly with returns of capital |
| As Tom and Natascha mentioned, over the next 5 years, we expect meaningful production growth from a volume wise, low-cost operations as we invest an average of $1.3 billion of development capital into projects that will generate the highest returns |
| And third, it has an unmatched organic development pipeline with 6 large-scale top of gold projects |
| As a result, we are entering the year with a strong focus on integration and the safe delivery of our targets |
| This performance enabled us to deliver $4.2 billion in adjusted EBITDA returned the $1.4 million to shareholders and end the year with liquidity above $6 billion |
| And our new mine, Ahafo North, where we are making good progress on the construction of the [indiscernible] and other supporting infrastructure, along with wire stripping to allow us to start accessing the ore for stockpiling |
| Over the next 5 years, we expect to deliver growing gold production driven by the completion of the laybacks at both Boddington and Peñasquito, the new ounces from Ahafo North, the completion of the second expansion at Tanami and both block caves at Cadia and binding improvements combined with higher grades [indiscernible] |
| And these improvements are over and above our synergy commitment from the Newcrest acquisition |
| And on top of this improving gold production, Newmont will produce a significant amount of copper, along with silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum with our global diversified Tier 1 portfolio |
| After closing the transaction on November 6 last year, the integration of the 5 new operations into our Newmont operating model has been progressing very well |

| It's the nature of underground mining and shaft sinking that you'll hit pockets of ground that's got some poor conditions |
| A second observation that [indiscernible] suffered from being a cash-generating asset in a small portfolio |
| The 120-day labor dispute at Peñasquito, asset integrity issues that were inherent in the original design of equipment at Ahafo and wildfires in Canada impacting Éléonore |
| And based on current copper production trends, the world can expect to experience around a 10 million tonne shortfall on this critical metal by 2035 |
| Throughout the pandemic, Rob navigated our operations through challenges, including periods of care and maintenance, order closures and vaccine implementation |
| [indiscernible] fatality is totally unacceptable |
| 2023 brought with a number of unique challenges, which are now certainly behind us |
| It's a great problem to have |
| And the overbreak, which is the predominant challenge we're working through is at the very bottom of that shaft |
| Before we get started, it is with great sadness that I share the tragic news regarding a fatal incident at our recently acquired Brucejack operation on December 20 last year |
| On the Newcrest reserve front, it looks like the overall totals for gold declined by about 1/3 |
| We're not prepared to do that |
| Daniel Major Questions around some of the Newcrest assets observing, I guess, from a distance company for quite a long time |
| However, I'm also not happy with the underlying level of our operating performance |
