Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) (Newmont or the

General Manager of Boddington in Australia, to lead the Peñasquito
mine in Mexico to optimize this world-class asset. Jim will assume
leadership of Peñasquito in the first quarter of 2020 and report to
Dan Janney, Newmont’s Regional Senior Vice President for North
America.
“Under Jim’s leadership, Boddington has delivered step-change
improvements in safety, mill throughput and recovery, mine plan
sequencing and execution,” said Tom Palmer, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Boddington’s scale and processing
characteristics are similar to Peñasquito’s, making Jim uniquely
qualified to replicate Boddington’s consistently strong performance
at Peñasquito in Mexico.”
Jen Bennett, currently serving as Vice President of Operations
for Newmont’s South America region, will succeed Jim to lead
Boddington and build on the operation’s success through a continued
focus on safe, efficient production, and project delivery.
Peñasquito’s current General Manager, Brian Berney, will focus
on government and community engagement in Mexico while supporting
an effective transition with Jim.
