Our global ASM strategy has four objectives that help us explore, develop and operate in places where small-scale miners work: • Security: ensure safe and secure access to Newmont’s assets, interests and concessions and minimize conflicts between illegal small-scale miners and Newmont personnel • Performance: manage our environmental, social, security, health and safety risks and impacts caused by ASM activities • Livelihood development: collaborate to empower and improve livelihood options associated with the local economy • Influence, learn and align: monitor, engage and influence ASM policy and practices Currently, ASM activities take place on or near three of our operations — Ahafo in Ghana, Merian in Suriname and Yanacocha in Peru.
