Mining and mineral processing activities produce tailings, which are a waste product that, if not managed properly, can threaten human health and the environment. Newmont aims to manage all wastes, including tailings, by implementing best practices. We are committed to conforming with Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and achieving the goal of zero harm to people and the environment.
