Ahafo Mine Process Solution Overflow January 2010 Update

Newmont Ghana has been providing updates regarding the status of the Ahafo Mine process solution overflow consistent with its commitment to transparency and public disclosure. Newmont reiterates our regret and apology for the overflow and is committed to operating with high standards and accepts responsibility for any failure to meet those standards... Since the time of the overflow, water sampling has continued to confirm that there is no threat from cyanide to human health or residual environmental impact. NGGL remains engaged with the local hamlets to ensure their wellbeing and to provide fresh water. In addition, Newmont Ghana implemented a number of corrective measures to ensure an accidental release of this nature does not happen again.
