About Tanami  

 

Newmont has fully owned and operated the Tanami mine since 2002. The mine operates in the remote Tanami Desert of Australia. The mine and plant are located on Aboriginal freehold land that is owned by the Warlpiri people and managed on their behalf by the Central Desert Aboriginal Lands Trust. Tanami is a fly-in-fly-out operation in one of Australia’s most remote locations. Tanami is 270 km from its closest neighbours, the remote Aboriginal community of Yuendumu.

 

Newmont is currently investing in the second expansion of Tanami, constructing a 1.5 km deep production shaft. The Tanami Expansion 2 (TE2) project is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year to 600,000 ounces per year for the first five years and reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent. Commercial production for the project is expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
