Leading worldwide gold producer Newmont Mining Corporation has significant holdings in Nevada, Peru, Australia, Ghana, and Suriname.
The Ahafo Mine, which is situated in the Brong-Ahafo area of Ghana, and the Akyem Mine, which is situated in the Eastern region, are both owned by Newmont’s Africa Operations. In Ghana, there is a focus on near-mine exploration and development to replenish gold reserves on a yearly basis. Ethiopia and Morocco are two other African nations where Newmont Africa has early-stage exploration operations.
About 5,900 workers and contractors work for our African business, the bulk of whom are employed at the Ahafo Mine. We provide an unmatched fusion of opportunity and professional fulfilment together with all the advantages you would anticipate from a large corporation. This makes Newmont a terrific company to work for, especially when paired with our chances for advancement.
Significant sustainable community development investments have been made in our host communities by our Akyem and Ahafo mines. These include creating Community Development Funds at our Akyem and Ahafo operations zones, with each mine giving US$1 per ounce of gold sold and 1% of its yearly net pre-tax profit.
Newmont, the sole gold business included in the S&P 500 index, was the first gold company to be chosen for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index in 2007. High standards in environmental management, employee health and safety, and providing value and opportunities for our staff, host communities, and Newmont’s shareholders are all examples of how Newmont consistently outperforms its competitors.
