(1)Attributable gold ounces produced includes 224, 285 and 325 ounces for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment.

Our global project pipeline
Newmont’s project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects are presented below. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance. We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.
Ahafo North, Ahafo. This project expands our existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from the Company’s Ahafo South operations and will deliver value through the open pit mining and processing of over three million ounces of gold over a 13-year mine life. The project is expected to add between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces per year for the first five full years of production beginning in 2026. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 with an expected commercial production date in late 2025. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $375, of which $163 related to 2023.
Tanami Expansion 2, Tanami. This project secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low-cost producer with potential to extend mine life to 2040 through the addition of a 1,460-meter hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to achieve higher production and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 30 percent. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $1,700 and $1,800 with an expected commercial production date in the second half of 2027. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $752, of which $253 related to 2023.
Cadia Block Caves, Cadia. This project includes two panel caves to recover approximately 5.9 million ounces of gold reserves and 2.9 billion pounds of copper reserves. First ore has been delivered from the first panel cave (PC2-3), and development is underway at the second panel cave (PC1-2). The newly acquired project is currently under review, and a more fulsome update on the anticipated metrics is expected to be provided in mid 2024. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $36, of which all related to 2023.
