Newmont Ghana Gold
Executive Summary ES-1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, is proposing to mine gold reserves at the Akyem Gold Mining Project (the “Project”) site in the Birim North District of the Eastern Region of Ghana, West Africa (Figure 1-1). The Project is located approximately 3 kilometres west of the district capital New Abirem, 133 kilometres west of Koforidua the regional capital, and 180 kilometres northwest of Accra. The proposed development lies within an area belonging to the Akyem Kotoku Paramountcy. This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the proposed Project, existing environmental conditions, potential impacts, mitigation measures, monitoring programmes, environmental management plans and closure and decommissioning approaches. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Development of the Project would involve excavation of an open pit mine and construction of waste rock disposal facilities, a Tailings Storage Facility, ore processing plant, Water Storage Facility and water transmission pipeline, sediment control structures and diversion channels, haul and access roads and support facilities (Figure ES-1). As proposed, a portion of the waste rock in the disposal facilities would be placed into the open pits during the closure and decommissioning phase of the project. Approximately 1,903 hectares are included in the Proposed Mining Area which encompasses areas required for mine development and buffer zones; additional acreage would be required to accommodate resettlement villages. Of this amount, approximately 1,428 hectares would actually be disturbed during the Project; concurrent reclamation would be accomplished when possible to reduce physical impacts on the landscape. Approximately 74 hectares of the surface disturbance associated with the Project would occur in the Ajenjua Bepo Forest Reserve. -

Final Akyem EIS 18 Nov 2008 Text Sec 3 Existing Environment
Existing Environment 3-1 3.0 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT Existing biological, physical and human resources in the Study Area are described in this section of the EIS. Data and information presented were collected during Company- sponsored baseline studies as well as through review of available scientific literature. Because a portion of the proposed mine pit associated with the Project would be developed within the southern end of the Ajenjua Bepo Forest Reserve, a separate discussion of this resource area is presented. Conditions outside the Ajenjua Bepo Forest Reserve are also discussed and compared and contrasted to those present within the Forest Reserve. Characteristics of other aspects of the Study Area are discussed by resource area for the entire Study Area, focusing on the Proposed Mining Area. 3.1 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT The following sections discuss the biodiversity of particular locations within the Proposed Mining Area and Study Area as well as the characteristics of the flora and fauna both within and outside the Ajenjua Bepo Forest Reserve (Figure 3-1). Discussions of wetlands and aquatic resources in the broader Study Area conclude this section. 3.1.1 KEY BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS IN STUDY AREA Several indicators are used in Ghana to assess the biodiversity of resource areas, including: ¾ Forest Reserve Condition, ¾ Forest Patch Size, ¾ Connectedness with other Forest Communities, ¾ Ghana Wildlife Conservation Regulations (Schedule I), ¾ International Union of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Species of Conservation Concern (flora and fauna), ¾ Ghana Star Species (flora) of Conservation Concern and ¾ Genetic Heat Index. Another indicator, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), is also sometimes used to evaluate biological aspects of an area.
