Nevada, United States
Newmont has been pouring gold in Nevada for nearly 50 years along a 100-mile stretch of highway in the north section of the state. Our Nevada properties operate as an integrated unit, and together, they boast the widest variety of processing methods of any gold mining complex in the world. This allows us to maximize economic recovery of gold from a wide range of ore types and grades. Operations include 14 open-pit and four underground mines and 14 processing facilities. In addition to gold, our operations produce silver and copper.
Our diverse Nevada work force includes members of the Te-Moak and Duck Water Tribes of Western Shoshone, Hispanic-Americans and other ethnic minorities. Most of our Workers reside in and around the communities of Elko, Spring Creek, Carlin, Battle Mountain and Winnemucca, where Newmont is the largest private employer.
Nevada - Phoenix
Phoenix Mine
The Phoenix open pit gold and copper mine, located in the high desert, began production in 2006. Phoenix was part of the Battle Mountain Gold acquisition in January 2001 and has one of the largest milling operations in North America. Upon commissioning in 2006, the operation had an estimated life of 20 years, but exploration could reveal deposits that would extend the mine’s life.
Located 12 miles (19.3 kilometers) south of Battle Mountain, Nevada, Phoenix is 100 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation.
Midas/Ken Snider Mine
Midas Mine
Nestled in a remote cluster of hills in north-central Nevada, Midas began high-grade underground mining in the late 1990s, under the ownership of Franco-Nevada Mining Corp. In May 2001, Normandy Mining Limited purchased Midas from Franco-Nevada. Six months later, Newmont became owner of the mine following our merger with both Normandy and Franco.
Located 60 miles (97 kilometers) northeast of Winnemucca, Nevada, Midas is 100 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation.
Carlin Trend Operations
Carlin Trend Operations
Gold Quarry, which opened in 1985, is currently Newmont’s largest open pit on the Carlin Trend – dubbed by many as the “most prolific goldfield in the Western hemisphere.” When it first began, mining at the site was originally expected to last six years. However, many subsequent discoveries and expansions have allowed it to continue operating.
Located 7 miles (11.3 kilometers) north of Carlin, Nevada, Gold Quarry is 90.1 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation.
High in the hills about 15 miles north of Gold Quarry, the Leeville underground mine began production on the Carlin Trend in 2006. It is Newmont's first underground mine in Nevada that is accessed via a shaft, which in this case, descends to between 1,400 and 2,100 feet below the surface. Located 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Carlin, Nevada, Leeville is 100 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation.
Twin Creeks Mine
Twin Creeks Mine
Twin Creeks continued mining high-grade ore after it was acquired by Newmont in 1997. The deposit is filled with various types of ore, which combine to create unique processing challenges.
Located 50 miles (80.4 kilometers) northeast of Winnemucca, Nevada, Twin Creeks is 100 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation.
