World's largest gold mining complex operating 8 Nevada mines
Nevada Gold Mines operates the single largest gold-producing complex globally through a Barrick–Newmont joint venture. The tech stack reflects heavy industrial operations: Emerson DeltaV and Rockwell FactoryTalk for process control, PI System and OPC for real-time data, Deswik CAD and GoldSim for mine planning. The hiring mix—engineering and ops each near 130 roles—and active projects around automation, RCM training, and standardized job plans signal aggressive push toward operational efficiency and equipment reliability across a multi-mine footprint.
