Newmont Corporation is deeply saddened to confirm that a member of our workforce has died at the Ahafo North Project in Ghana on February 27, 2024, as a result of a weather-related incident attributed to high winds and severe weather.

The incident occurred in the maintenance area of our Ahafo North Project, where the high winds impacted a container and tarpaulin constructed shelter. The area will remain closed until we have ensured the site is safe to restart.

Senior leadership is on-site to support relevant authorities to complete a full investigation into the incident in the site’s maintenance area. Both internal and external investigations have been initiated, with the internal investigation team on-site in the coming week and the critical learnings will be embedded into our safety standards. 

Our thoughts are with our teammate's family, friends and colleagues and we are offering our full support at this difficult time.
