Cajamarca, Peru September 7 was a momentous day for Newmont and our South American employees as our world-class Minera Yanacocha gold mine poured its 30 millionth ounce and our La Zanja joint venture poured its first ounce. Newmont is the minority partner with Buenaventura at La Zanja, which is located 40 miles from Yanacocha.
From the first gold pour in August 1993, Yanacocha quickly grew to boast the largest heap leach facility in the world and to become a major employer in Peru. With the support of our longtime partner, Buenaventura, Yanacocha also is a global leader in social responsibility through its support for improved health care, education, responsible water management and the Improved Kitchens Program.
