Nevada Gold Mines is a joint venture between Barrick Gold Corporation (61.5 %) and Newmont Goldcorp Corporation (38.5 %), combining significant assets across Nevada to create the single largest gold‑producing complex in the world and realize the full potential of these mines through synergies and best‑in‑class operational improvements. The massive mining operation comprises 8 mines along with their associated infrastructure and processing facilities that produced an estimated 4 million ounces of gold in 2018.

Three of these assets are Tier One gold mines:
Barrick’s Cortez; the combination of Barrick’s Goldstrike and Newmont Goldcorp’s Carlin; and the combination of Barrick’s Turquoise Ridge and Newmont Goldcorp’s Twin Creeks. In addition, Barrick’s Goldrush‑Fourmile project has the potential to become the fourth Tier One asset in this portfolio. The new JV is expected to generate around $5 billion in cost savings over the next five years. Nevada Gold Mines is operated by Barrick.
