Our growth in the Asia Pacific region accelerated in the 1990s, with our operations starting up in Indonesia, and continued in 2002, with our acquisition of Normandy Mining. These decisions led us to discover significant gold deposits and strengthen our global asset portfolio.
In Indonesia, we have been fortunate to produce significant amounts of copper and gold from two operations there. Today, we look forward to commencing production at our newest mine, the Boddington project. As the largest open pit mine in Australia, Boddington will bring new jobs and economic growth to this region of Western Australia for the next several years.
We offer work in a variety of disciplines and locations in a dynamic and challenging industry, which offers a myriad of professional, trade and entry-level job opportunities. Newmont seeks people who thrive on challenge, and believe they have the drive and qualities required to keep our company a safe, exciting and successful place to work.

Boddington is one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The deposit is located in the extreme southwest of the Archaean Yilgarn Block of the Saddleback Greenstone Belt, a sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks similar to those hosting the Kalgoorlie goldfield. The Saddleback Greenstone Belt is approximately 34 kilometres (21 miles) long and between 5 kilometres (3 miles) and 10 kilometres (6 miles) wide.

The Tanami operations in the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory comprise a processing facility at The Granites, located 531 kilometres (330 miles) northwest of Alice Springs. Tanami operations also comprise an underground mine at Dead Bullock Soak, approximately 39 kilometres (24 miles) west of The Granites; the Groundrush open pit, 97 kilometres (60 miles) northwest of The Granites (where mining is now complete); and the Tanami mill, 43 kilometres (27 miles) southwest of Groundrush. The operation is wholly-owned by Newmont.
Current production comes from the high-grade Callie underground mine, stockpiles from the Dead Bullock Soak open pit and Windy Hill at the Granites. Ore from all these operations is processed through the Granites' plant.

Jundee is located in the Yandal Goldfield of Western Australia, 800 kilometres (480 miles) northeast of Perth, and approximately 55 kilometres (33 miles) northeast from the township of Wiluna. Jundee began production in 1995. Operations at Jundee were based originally upon open pit mines, with underground operations commencing in 1997. The open pits remained the major source of production until shortly before they closed in 2002. Since then, underground production has increased and a number of small satellite pits have been opened. Mine production, based on current reserves, is scheduled to last through 2010.
The mine employs about 460 people. Given its remote location, the employees work on rosters that allow them to fly in to work for a period of up to 14 days and then fly out for a break. A full-service village provides on-site accommodation. In 2003, Jundee produced 270,000 equity ounces of gold.

The Martha mine, located in the town of Waihi, 110 kilometres (66 miles) southeast of Auckland, dates from an 1878 discovery, producing 5.6 million ounces of gold before closing in 1952. With higher gold prices, improved exploration and modern mining and processing technology, the mine re-opened in 1988. Newmont acquired Martha in February 2002 as part of the Normandy Mining acquisition.
