Pueblo Viejo is located in the Dominican Republic, approximately 100 kilometers northwest of the capital city of Santo Domingo, and is operated by the Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation — a joint venture between Barrick (60%) and Newmont (40%). Construction of the project started in 2008, and first production occurred in 2012(Barrick Mining Corporation – Operations – Pueblo Viejo, n.d.).
Pueblo Viejo includes two open pits, a processing plant and a tailings storage facility. Ore is removed from the open pit using a conventional truck and shovel method, then crushed, ground, and processed in the carbon-in-leach circuit in the mill.
Newmont has included non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable basis (Newmont share) on this page. Attributable performance measures include Newmont’s mining operations and projects and Newmont’s share from Pueblo Viejo(Newmont Corporation – Operations & Projects – Global Presence – South America – Pueblo Viejo – Dominican Republic, n.d.).
