Newcrest hunting for investments, including acquisitions

Gold miner Newcrest Mining MD Sandeep Biswas said on Tuesday that the company was hunting for new investment opportunities, but stressed that it would remain “very disciplined” in its evaluation and execution of any new opportunities. In a copy of a speech delivered at the company’s annual general meeting, in Melbourne, he said that Newcrest was looking at a range of opportunities, from investment in exploration, early stage project entry, application of step-change technology and innovation, or through acquisitions.
