Starting a mine brings its own set of environmental and social challenges. To operate responsibly, we must weigh potential development risks with the profitability of production, and the local wealth and employment it creates.
Throughout the mine life cycle - from the earliest exploration activity through closure - we strive to engage and consult with communities and governments that host our operations and other stakeholders with respect and transparency.
You can find more information about how Newmont works with and supports the local communities near our operations by visiting Newmont's Beyond the Mine Web site. Our programs protect and respect human rights, engage community members, contribute to communities' development aspirations, and mitigate the impacts of our activities.
