Newmont Corporation reported that a bushfire near its Boddington operations in Western Australia disrupted operations, leading to a suspension on December 24. Although critical infrastructure remained secure, some water supply infrastructure was damaged. Operations have resumed at reduced processing rates (50-60%) until full water supply restoration in February, with an estimated production impact of 60,000 ounces of gold in Q1 2026. No serious injuries were reported.
