Strengthening skills – building brighter futures for Papua New Guinea 🌏

We were proud to welcome the National Apprenticeship and Trade Testing Board (NATTB) to Newmont Lihir recently – an important step in continuing to build skills, capability and opportunity for Papua New Guineans.

During the visit, NATTB worked alongside our Technical Training team to review our apprenticeship and trade training programs, ensuring they align with national standards and prepare our people for long‑term success. The team also observed Belt Splicing Level 1 trade testing in action ⚙️

These conversations focused on how we support our apprentices – from training pathways and hands‑on experience through to readiness for formal trade testing.

The visit also strengthened our partnership with NATTB, with plans to further support skills transfer, workforce development and more inclusive participation in technical trades 🤝

As an employer of around 5,000 people - 90% of them PNG nationals - Newmont Lihir is committed to helping build a skilled, job‑ready workforce and supporting the next generation of tradespeople in PNG 📈

🎓 Second chances, new beginnings in Lihir

For many in Lihir, finishing school isn’t always possible – distance, limited access and family responsibilities can get in the way. But through Flexible Open Distance Education (FODE), that door is opening again.

Newmont PNG is proud to support FODE with the KTF (Kokoda Track Foundation) – creating second‑chance pathways for people to complete school, upskill and unlock new opportunities.

In Lihir, FODE is strengthening local capability – from helping students finish Grade 12 to upskilling teachers and supporting early learning across communities.

Last week, 99 students graduated at Meri Senta – each one a story of determination, sacrifice and resilience.

Newmont is proud to invest in education as part of its broader economic contribution. In addition to more than K1.1 billion contributed in taxes and government payments in the past year, the Lihir mine has contributed over K2 billion to community projects since its operations began – supporting health, education, roads and infrastructure that create lasting benefits for local communities.

Newmont Papua New Guinea thanks the Internal Revenue Commission PNG for highlighting Newmont Lihir’s first 2026 Corporate Tax payment of K852 million to the Government and people of Papua New Guinea👏

This acknowledgement underscores the strength of the partnership between the resource industry and the State, and reflects a shared commitment to transparency, compliance, and national development.

Key points highlighted by Acting Commissioner General Sam Loi include:

✅ The significant payment of K852 million is one of the highest first instalment corporate tax contributions ever recorded in the mining sector.

✅ Newmont’s first instalment in 2026 shows strong growth compared to K92.4 million during the same period last year.

✅ Recognition that contributions are aligned with prevailing international gold prices and real-time profitability.

✅ A clear message that transparency, compliance, and collaboration between the State and industry deliver meaningful outcomes for the country.

We appreciate IRC’s continued commitment to administering the tax system with integrity and consistency and their role in supporting Papua New Guinea’s economic future.

IRC Acknowledges Newmont Lihir Gold Ltd’s First Instalment Corporate Tax Contribution in the Mining Sector

15 May 2026| Port Moresby| The Acting Commissioner General Mr Sam Loi in receiving the cheque has acknowledged Newmont, Lihir Gold Ltd for delivering one of the highest first instalment corporate tax payment of K852 million — a substantial increase from K92.4 million paid during the corresponding period last year, and the highest first instalment contribution recorded in the sector to date.

The Acting CG stated that the strong outcome reflects the value of constructive engagement and close collaboration between the IRC and the extractive sector, particularly through transparent administration in accordance with prevailing market-based valuation principles under the tax legislation. He noted that the assessment was driven by prevailing international gold prices, with the IRC applying current market value benchmarks to ensure that the taxes assessed and paid accurately reflect the sector’s earnings performance.

He further emphasized that the advance corporate tax system is grounded in the principle of paying tax in line with current-year quarterly earnings and profitability reflecting real-time profitability and economic activity.

“This result demonstrates what is possible when there is transparency, compliance, and mutual confidence between the State and industry. Strong commodity prices are expected to translate into fair and timely returns to the country, and the IRC remains duty bound to administering the tax system with integrity, consistency, and commercial awareness,” the Acting CG said.

The payment highlights the growing contribution of the resources sector to national revenue and reinforces the importance of predictable tax administration, responsible corporate citizenship, and continued partnership in supporting Papua New Guinea’s economic future.

Approved for release,

SAM LOI
Acting Commissioner General
