Newmont Mining Corporation

Newmont Mining Corporation’s rich legacy spans most of the 20th century and is intimately linked to many of the key industrial milestones of the 1900s.

Our company’s story begins with Newmont managing private mining investments, while adapting, over the years, to meet growing global demand for natural resources and to drive industry innovation. Today, Newmont’s vision is to become the most valued and respected mining company through industry leading performance, as our approximately 34,000 employees and contractors mine gold, copper and silver in eight countries on five continents.

As one of a relatively small number of companies still listed on the New York Stock Exchange since joining in 1940, Newmont continues to create value and opportunities for our shareholders, employees and host communities.

In 2007, this value creation was further recognized as Newmont became the first gold company to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. May 2, 2011 marks a milestone in Newmont’s history as we celebrate 90 years since being officially incorporated. This remarkable achievement is a testament to our company’s ability to adapt, innovate and lead over the decades.

Today, Newmont is the world’s second largest gold producer and in 2011 is ranked 394 on Forbes’ Global 2000 list and 295 on the Fortune 500. In 1940, when Newmont’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, it was one of approximately 1,000 companies on that Exchange. Today, only 77 of those 1,000 companies continue to be traded on the NYSE.
