Under Development
GoldCopper
Autonomous haulage
No
Overview
Havieron is a 100% Greatland-owned gold-copper development in Western Australia’s Paterson Province, approximately 45 kilometres east of the Telfer mine. The project is planned as a high-grade underground operation feeding ore to Telfer’s established processing infrastructure, creating a brownfield development pathway rather than a stand-alone greenfield plant build. Greatland’s current concept includes an initial 2.8 Mtpa mining rate, with feasibility work assessing expansion toward 4.0–4.5 Mtpa through underground crushing and materials handling. Havieron hosts a large gold-copper resource and is intended to become the next high-grade feed source for the Telfer hub.
Production
Greatland’s earlier Telfer 2-Year Outlook indicated integrated Telfer and Havieron first production expected in FY28.
Processing
Ore to be hauled to Telfer and processed through existing Telfer infrastructure. Greatland has assessed expansion from an initial post-ramp-up 2.8 Mtpa mining rate to 4.0–4.5 Mtpa through an underground crusher and material-handling system.
Expansion
High-grade gold-copper deposit; intrusion-related / breccia-hosted system within the Paterson Province Mineral Resource: 131 Mt at 1.65–1.67 g/t Au and 0.21% Cu for approximately 7.0 Moz Au and 275 kt Cu. Greatland’s website cites 131 Mt at 1.67 g/t Au and 0.21% Cu, while the March 2026 quarterly table lists 131 Mt at 1.65 g/t Au and 0.21% Cu. Treat the difference as rounding/reporting presentation. Ore Reserve: Updated feasibility reporting in December 2025 placed Havieron Ore Reserve at 38.5 Mt at 2.63 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu for 3.3 Moz Au and 129 kt Cu. Strike / vertical extent: Greatland describes the December 2023 MRE as contained within a compact 650 m strike length and defined over 1,400 vertical metres.

Workforce
During the construction phase, the project was expected to create 5,500 direct jobs, with a workforce of approximately 1,600 people during the production phase.
Overview
Pascua-Lama is a bi-national mining project owned by Barrick Mining Corporation, with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. also linked to the operation. It straddles the border of Chile's Atacama Region and Argentina's San Juan Province in the Andes mountains, at an altitude ranging from 3,800 to 5,200 metres. Construction of the large-scale open-pit operation began in October 2009 but was suspended in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to environmental issues, legal challenges, and cost overruns. The Chilean portion was definitively closed in September 2020, with a US$136 million closure plan submitted in January 2024. The Argentinian side, Lama, is under re-evaluation for a potential underground block-cave operation.
Production
Initial production estimates for the first five years were between 800,000 and 850,000 ounces of gold and 35 million ounces of silver annually.
Processing
The processing plan involved crushing the ore in Chile and then transporting it via a 2.7-kilometre tunnel to a processing facility in Argentina. The plant was designed for a throughput of 45,000 tonnes per day and would use wet grinding, conventional flotation for copper concentrates, and cyanide leaching to produce gold and silver doré.
Equipment
The planned equipment fleet included electric rope shovels, diesel hydraulic shovels, front-end loaders, and a fleet of 30 haul trucks with a 290-tonne capacity each, along with bulldozers, graders, and water trucks.
Expansion
On the Argentinian side, known as Lama, Barrick is exploring the feasibility of a potential underground block-cave mining operation. This re-evaluation includes assessing the Penelope deposit's suitability for heap leaching at the nearby Veladero mine.

Overview
Zaldívar is an operating open-pit copper mine located in the Andean Precordillera of the Antofagasta Region, Chile, approximately 1,400 kilometres north of Santiago. It is a 50/50 joint venture between Antofagasta Plc and Barrick Gold Corporation, with Antofagasta acting as the operator.
Production
Copper production was 40,500 tonnes in 2023 and 136,984 tonnes in 2009. For 2025, Antofagasta's attributable copper production was 36,700 tonnes, while Barrick Gold reported its 50% share as 37,000 tonnes.
Processing
The processing method involves a three-stage crushing process, followed by heap leaching with bacteriological agents to dissolve the copper. A solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) process is then used to produce high-purity copper cathodes. A small amount of copper concentrate is also produced via a flotation plant.
Equipment
The mine's equipment includes a conventional truck and shovel fleet, a primary gyratory crusher, secondary cone crushers, water-flush tertiary crushers, and Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers for heat recovery in the electrowinning plant.
Expansion
In May 2025, the Chilean Environmental Authority approved an Environmental Impact Assessment to extend the mine's life until 2051. This extension includes the development of the primary sulphide ore deposit, in addition to the currently mined secondary sulphides. The approved plan also facilitates a transition of the mine's water source.

Workforce
The workforce consists of approximately 2,350 to 3,000 direct employees and several thousand contractors. The labour force is predominantly local, with 97 to 98 per cent of employees being Dominican nationals.
Overview
The Pueblo Viejo mine is a large, operating open-pit mine located in the Sánchez Ramírez Province of the Dominican Republic, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the capital, Santo Domingo. The operation is a joint venture, operated by Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation (PVDC), which is owned by Barrick Gold Corporation (60%) and Newmont Corporation (40%). Newmont acquired its interest through its 2019 acquisition of Goldcorp. The mine consists of two main pits, Moore and Monte Negro, and uses a conventional truck and shovel mining method.
Production
First gold was produced in 2012, with commercial production beginning in 2013. In 2018, the mine produced 581,000 ounces of gold. Barrick reported its 60 per cent share of gold production for 2025 was 379,000 ounces.
Processing
Ore processing is complex due to its double refractory nature. The process involves crushing in a gyratory crusher, grinding in SAG and ball mills equipped with gearless mill drives, and then pressure oxidation of the whole ore in four large autoclaves at high temperature and pressure. This is followed by a carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit that uses cyanide to recover the gold and silver, which is ultimately produced as a gold-silver doré bar.
Equipment
The equipment fleet includes CAT 994 loaders, Hitachi 3600 hydraulic shovels, and CAT 789 rear-dump trucks.
Expansion
A major plant expansion and mine life extension project is underway to sustain operations beyond 2040. This project aims to maintain an average annual production of more than 800,000 ounces of gold by increasing plant throughput to a planned capacity of about 14 million tonnes per annum. The expansion has an estimated capital cost of between US$2.1 billion and US$2.6 billion. A key component of the project is the construction of a new tailings storage facility, known as the Naranjo TSF, which has necessitated a community resettlement program managed through a Resettlement Action Plan.

Overview
The Rock Creek project is an underground silver and copper mine currently in a state of care and maintenance. Hecla Mining Company acquired the project in June 2015 through its acquisition of Revett Mining Company. While the project is under development, Hecla is not currently seeking permits for its construction. The company has previously withdrawn the Plan of Operations for Rock Creek from consideration by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Legal challenges have also impacted the project's progression, with a 2021 court ruling invalidating the USFS's approval of the mine's Phase I evaluation adit due to violations of the Endangered Species Act. As a result, the Rock Creek mine currently has no federal authorisation to proceed. In September 2022, RC Resources, a subsidiary of Hecla, requested that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) allow its Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit to expire, stating that none of the permitted outfalls had been constructed. Despite the current status, Hecla Mining continues to report inferred mineral resources for the project.
