Newmont paid a total of GH₵12.822 billion in taxes and other statutory payments to the Government of Ghana in 2025, reinforcing its position as a leading contributor to the country’s domestic revenue.

These payments were made to various state agencies, including the Ghana Revenue Authority, the Forestry Commission, and the Ministry of Finance.

The company’s full-year contribution for 2025 comprised Corporate Tax of GH₵5.382 billion, Mineral Royalties of GH₵1.628 billion, Carried Interest of GH₵1.832 billion, and Capital Gains Tax of GH₵3.025 billion following the sale of its Akyem Mine in April 2025.

Additional payments included PAYE Tax of GH₵514 million, Withholding Tax of GH₵434 million, Forestry Levy of GH₵15 million, and Property Rate of GH₵2 million.

Beyond statutory payments, Newmont continues to support Ghana’s long-term socio-economic development through investments in infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and community development.

In 2025, the company partnered with the Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Roads and Highways, to rehabilitate the 46-kilometre Sunyani–Ntotroso–Akyerensua highway, a key transport corridor linking the Bono and Ahafo regions. The project is expected to improve road safety, enhance connectivity, and boost local economic activity.

Newmont also supported the government’s Tree for Life initiative, a national programme aimed at restoring degraded lands and promoting environmental sustainability.

Commenting on the company’s contributions, Newmont Ghana Country Manager, Danquah Addo-Yobo, said the firm remains committed to strong governance, transparency, and delivering value to local communities and the national economy.

Newmont remains Ghana’s leading gold producer, with a continued focus on responsible mining and sustainable development.
