Footnotes:
1 Nevada Number corrected in 2010 to reflect precipitation falling only on active facilities where precipitation could be captured.
2Our Australia sites operated by Newmont report air emissions on a fiscal year basis (July 1 to June 30), while Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) reports their air emissions on a calendar year basis (January 1 to December 31).
3 Hazardous waste consists mostly of waste oil (which is recycled or burned for energy recovery) and fly ash from Batu Hijau coal fired power plant (30% of which is recycled for concrete applications)
4 Newmont utilizes a risk matrix to determine severity of releases/incidents at sites. Per GRI, releases are reported for Levels 3 - 5 (Significant Releases) with the exception of Mercury & Cyanide for which all levels of releases are reported.
5 50% of Newmont sites purchase only Ammonium Nitrate and then mix it with fuel oil on site to create ANFO and Heavy ANFO. Emulsion is purchased pre-mixed.
6 Energy consumption is the total energy value (GJ per unit) from primary sources consumed on site.
7 2007-2010 CO2 calculations use country specific emission factors such as Australia Dept. of Climate Change - National Greenhouse Accounts (NGA) Factors, US and Canada default emission factors as derived and approved by The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol and those published by the International Energy Agency Data Services.
8 Newmont does not track nor differentiate Other Indirect Emissions (Scope 3)
9GHG emissions from the KCGM operation are 100% reported by KCGM co-owner, Barrick Gold Corporation
