Using a combination of technical skills and mining experience, we focus on the fundamental elements of resource projects to ensure strong financial returns. Newcrest’s Board and Executives are a diverse and experienced team with a strong knowledge of the mining industry. They aim to deliver growth opportunities and ultimately sustainable financial returns to Newcrest’s shareholders. What we do: Newcrest maintains a strategy of developing low-cost, long-life mines and also smaller high-margin mines. We aim to operate projects in the lowest cost quartile in order to maximise profitability and minimise the impact from commodity price variation. Exploration remains the key plank of our business building strategy. How we performed: During the 2003/04 year, Newcrest delivered a profit of $122.9 million, rising 33 percent, with Ridgeway and Toguraci performing strongly. Cadia Hill’s contribution underperformed budget. With the completion of the large Telfer gold/copper and smaller Cracow gold mines, Newcrest will continue its strong record in project delivery – from exploration through development to operations.

The review has taken into account updated long term metal price, foreign exchange and cost assumptions, and mining and metallurgy performance to inform cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. This has resulted in the most marginal ounces being removed from the portfolio and these are reflected in changes to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Group Mineral Resources As at 31 December 2014, Group Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 140 million ounces of gold, 20 million tonnes of copper and 130 million ounces of silver. This represents a decrease of approximately 8 million ounces of gold (~5%), 0.4 million tonnes of copper (~2%) and 1 million ounces of silver (~1%), compared with the estimate as at 31 December 2013.

Amoah Newmont Asia Pacific, Australia Abstract Newmont Boddington Gold (NBG) mine is located 12 km northwest of the town of Boddington and about 120 km southeast of Perth in Western Australia (WA). Open pit mining of an oxide gold resource commenced at the operations in 1987. In 2008, NBG undertook an expansion program to increase future gold production to one million ounces per annum, potentially becoming the largest gold mine in Australia. Critical to the life cycle of such a large mining operation is the need to ensure that mine closure is well planned in advance and consistently managed throughout operation to minimise future liabilities. For example, the large quantities of waste (waste rock estimated to be over one billion tonnes over the life of the mine), vast open pits and areas for tailings storage and site operational facilities, geographically and ecologically sensitive location and socio-economic issues will all become significant legacy factors during mine closure and post closure stages. To mitigate closure liabilities, Newmont’s internal guidelines have strict requirements for the development and review of closure plans at all stages of mine life with annual analyses of closure liability costs. This is to ensure consistency with life of mine (LOM) plans, changes in operations, stakeholder expectations, regulatory requirements etc.
