DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT, ASX: NEM, PNGX: NEM) (“Newmont” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Parliament of Ghana has ratified the renewal of the Akyem East Mining Lease (the “Lease Ratification”). Per Newmont’s definitive agreement to divest its Akyem operation in the Republic of Ghana, Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd.
