These will come mainly from integrated mine planning, optimised mining and processing, cost reductions and the combination of the adjacent Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, which will be operated as a single mine. Beyond 2020, the JV company is likely to benefit from longer profitable mine lives, longer-term employment opportunities, longer-term benefit-sharing with local communities and longer-term advantages for Nevada's economy. Bristow noted that the Nevada Gold Mines management team included executives from both JV partners. The Executive MD is Greg Walker, formerly head of operations and technical excellence for Barrick's North American region. Barrick has three board seats and Newmont Goldcorp two, with the board supported by technical, finance and exploration advisory committees on which both companies have equal representation.
