Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) is one of the best gold stocks to buy, according to analysts. On February 24, Argentina’s Economy Minister, Luis Caputo announced Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) is poised to invest about $800 million over six years in the Cerro Negro Mine.

The investment follows Chief Executive Officer Natascha Viljoen reiterating on February 19 that Newmont has the largest gold reserve. The company had gold mineral reserves of 118.2 million ounces as of the end of 2025, compared to 134.1 million as of the end of 2024. The decrease was due to the divestment of assets in 2025.
