WHY NEWMONT?

Why are people all over the world mad about this company’s holes in the ground?

Newmont Corporation is the world’s largest gold producer. As it extracts gold from the earth for profit, it ignores the costs that its operations exact on indigenous communities, the environment, and on worker and human rights.

Newmont Mining is based in Denver, CO and they will be holding their annual stockholders meeting on April 25th in Denver. Read our press release about the change in location.

Newmont and the gold mining industry are responsible for:

96% of US arsenic emissions
50% of all newly mined gold is taken, often illegally, from native lands
Groundwater thousands of times more acidic than battery acid
Implications in human rights abuses
79 tons of mine waste for every ounce of gold
Employs only 0.09% of the global workforce
Up to 10% of world energy consumption
Craters blasted and environmental destruction in officially protected natural areas
Marine ecosystem destruction through the use of “Subterranean Tailings Disposal” (STDs)
The use of cyanide leach mining

Please take the time to explore our educational links and we are sure you will be so disturbed that you will be joining us in the streets of Denver, Colorado on April 25th.
