Newmont Halts Cadia Operations After NSW Earthquake
Newmont has suspended operations at its Cadia mine due to a magnitude-4.5 earthquake in New South Wales. Safety protocols were effective, with all personnel accounted for and no injuries reported.

Newmont has paused underground operations at the Cadia mine following a magnitude-4.5 earthquake near Orange, New South Wales. All underground personnel were safely returned to the surface, and no injuries were reported.
The company is conducting inspections to assess potential impacts on production. The Cadia site includes one of the largest gold and copper deposits globally and has been operational since 2013. Past seismic events have led to extended suspensions of mining activities, highlighting risks associated with geological instability in the region. Continuous monitoring and safety assessments will be critical in determining the resumption of operations.
