Newmont Seeks To Extend Largest Australian Mine Until 2050
"The extension of Cadia's operations would be a tangible boost for responsible mining that contributes to global net zero goals, local jobs, and economic growth," said Leading gold miner Newmont (NYSE:NEM) has applied to extend the permit for its Cadia operation, Australia's largest underground mine, until 2050.
领先的黄金矿商纽曼矿业（NYSE:NEM）已申请延长其凯迪亚控件的许可，这是澳大利亚最大的地下矿井，直到2050年。
Located near Orange in New South Wales (NSW), Cadia plays a significant role in Newmont's portfolio and the Australian mining sector. It produces nearly 600,000 ounces of gold and a large share of the country's copper.
凯迪亚位于新南威尔士州橙镇附近，在纽曼矿业的投资组合和澳大利亚矿业板块中扮演着重要角色。它产出近60万盎司的黄金和该国大部分铜产量。
Per Central Western Daily, extending Cadia's operations would generate significant regional benefits, providing over 2,100 full-time jobs and helping hundreds of regional suppliers. The mine's economic contribution is substantial, as the company spends around $135 million annually on employee salaries.
根据《中西部每日》报道，延长凯迪亚的操作将带来重要的区域收益，提供超过2100个全职岗位，并帮助数百家区域供应商。矿井在经济上的贡献是巨大的，因为公司每年约花费13500万美元用于员工工资。
"The extension of Cadia's operations would be a tangible boost for responsible mining that contributes to global net zero goals, local jobs, and economic growth," said Suzy Retallack, Newmont's Chief Sustainability Officer.
纽曼矿业首席可持续发展官苏西·雷塔拉克表示：“延长凯迪亚的操作将成为有形的推动，有助于负责任的矿业对全球零排放目标、当地就业和经济增长的贡献。”

The NSW Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure will assess the application submitted under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act on behalf of the federal government.
新南威尔士州计划、住房和基础设施部门将代表联邦政府评估根据联邦环境保护和生物多样性保护法案提交的申请。
Already deemed a state-significant project, Cadia's extension aligns with state and federal priorities for regional economic stability.
凯迪亚已被视为一个重要的州级项目，其延伸符合州和联邦对区域经济稳定的重点。
The mine recently earned recognition for sustainable production, receiving the Copper Mark and the Molybdenum Mark.
该矿最近因可持续生产而获得认可，获得铜标记和钼标记。
"Our global customers can now choose to source copper concentrate from an independently evaluated mine that meets the highest standards in environmental, social, and governance practices, responding to the increasing demand for sustainable supply chains," Retallack said in an announcement.
“我们的全球客户现在可以选择从经过独立评估的矿山采购铜精矿，该矿山符合环境、社会和治理实践的最高标准，以应对对可持续供应链需求的增加。” Retallack在一份声明中说。
Cadia is currently Australia's only operating source of molybdenum, a critical mineral used to strengthen steel without adding excessive weight. The $85 million processing plant can produce around 4.1 million pounds annually.
Cadia目前是澳洲唯一的钼矿来源，钼是一种关键矿产，用于强化钢铁而不增加过多重量。8500万美元的加工厂年产能约410万磅。
Newmont's commitment to Cadia reflects its strategic focus on Tier 1 assets. After the industry-shaking merger with Newcrest (whose flagship asset was Cadia), CEO Tom Palmer announced the company would divest from non-strategic operations.
纽曼对Cadia的承诺体现了其对一线资产的战略重心。在与纽克里斯特（旗舰资产为Cadia）的令行业震惊的合并之后，首席执行官Tom Palmer宣布公司将从非战略操作中剥离。
