DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT, ASX: NEM, PNGX: NEM) and MKS PAMP partner to offer consumers a traceable gold bar exclusively made with Newmont-mined gold, refined and minted by MKS PAMP in Switzerland – powered by Provenance™.

In recognition of this longstanding partnership between the two companies, the Newmont and MKS PAMP teams worked collaboratively to bring this traceable gold bar to consumers. To craft this one-of-a-kind gold bar, highly skilled minting experts used the most advanced techniques to reimagine this iconic and recognizable figure adorning the gold bar. The PAMP 1oz Lady of Liberty gold bar is sealed within a secured CertiPAMP™ packaging, which acts as a certificate of authenticity and quality excellence.
The decade-long partnership between Newmont and MKS PAMP further marks the launch of their first co-branded traceable gold bar, underpinned by their common values and unwavering sustainability commitments.
