Newmont's history in BC and ongoing mission:

In recent history, Newmont signalled a renewed interest in BC by acquiring a 50% stake in the Galore Creek project in 2018, a joint-venture with Teck Resources and North America’s largest undeveloped copper deposit. In 2019, we acquired Goldcorp and located our North American Regional Business Hub in Vancouver.
Our foothold in British Columbia has been strengthened by the acquisition of two key assets: the Brucejack Mine and the Red Chris Mine. Both are world-class operations with long-term potential and our attention now turns to safely, efficiently, and responsibly integrating the new assets and people into Newmont’s proven operating model.
The Red Chris Mine in particular, presents a transformational opportunity. As we look to the future, the next phase of mining at Red Chris will be an underground block cave, a project that is subject to a Tahltan consent based decision.  
At Newmont, we believe that our success is built on strong partnerships. We don’t just view our relationships with Indigenous communities, governments, and local stakeholders as obligations—they are fundamental to the way we operate. Our approach to partnerships is long-term and built on mutual respect and shared prosperity.
We’re proud to have bilateral agreements with the Indigenous communities that host and surround our operations. These agreements ensure that employment, business opportunities, and financial benefits flow to those communities. In British Columbia, we proudly have signatory agreements with the: Tahltan, Nisga’a, Gitanyow, and Skii km Lax Ha. 
Newmont endeavours to take a reconciliatory approach to mining. We aim to engage with Indigenous communities from the earliest stages of exploration to ensure that traditional knowledge is included alongside technical expertise, and that we are building alignment with community values and aspirations, and ultimately, creating a shared vision.
