Results of Consolidated Operations
Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces ("GEO") metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using the metal prices in the table below:
| Gold | Copper | Silver | Lead | Zinc | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (ounce) | (pound) | (ounce) | (pound) | (pound) | |
| 2024 GEO Price | $1,400 | $3.50 | $20.00 | $1.00 | $1.20 |
| 2023 GEO Price | $1,400 | $3.50 | $20.00 | $1.00 | $1.20 |
