Barrick breaks down the roughly $4 billion joint-venture package as a blend of Fourmile’s 38% share, Newmont’s Mike and Fiberline contributions totaling about six-point-four million ounces, and costs tied to settling legacy disputes plus IPO-friction reductions. Management notes the netting framework, with settlement components included, and refrains from providing a granular dollar-by-asset breakdown.

Please break down the components of the joint-venture package and explain how the $4 billion relates to Newmont's assets (Mike and Fiberline) versus Fourmile, including any settlement adjustments?
Management described the total value of the package as “approximately $4 billion,” and clarified that it is not just Fourmile. It includes:
In the Q&A, management provided the framing for the netting logic behind the $4B:
So, the relationship is essentially:
A participant asked whether the $4B should be thought of as Newmont paying in for Fourmile while Barrick/NGM is reciprocally paying for Newmont’s 38.5% of Fourmile and Mike & Fiberline—and whether this implies a net of 61.5%. Management’s response supports the netting concept but also indicates they would not provide a numeric breakdown of the dispute components. 342
Management explicitly described settlement content in two ways:
However, the company did not provide a dollar amount for the dispute resolution portion as a standalone line item in the discussion, and said they could not provide that numeric breakdown. 674
While management did not publish a full line-item schedule in the excerpt, the disclosed structure supports the following conceptual reconciliation:
This matches the direction and elements management listed: Fourmile proportion, Mike/Fiberline netting, settlement resolution, and IPO friction reduction. 21
The excerpts do not provide:
So, the most defensible conclusion from the filings excerpt is the netting framework and inclusion of settlement/IPO friction value, rather than a precise dollar-by-asset table. 21

Research questionGot it. Okay. Second one is on M&A. Obviously, from a leverage perspective, presumably, you're going to be more careful with share repurchase here. But I would think from an M&A perspective, certainly, you can acquire EBITDA in a perhaps leverage-neutral fashion. So what are you seeing out there in terms of the pipeline? And when you have the kind of challenging market conditions like this, whether from a historical perspective or sort of what you're actually seeing now, is there a scenario where you might see more assets come to market? And how would you be looking to approach that?
