value by allowing him to deploy his team on
more meaningful projects. “With the migration
of all our systems to the cloud, we’ve managed

BORDEN – ‘MINE OF THE FUTURE’
In 2019 Newmont inaugurated
its Borden Gold Project,
Ontario’s mine of the future, featuring
state-of-the-art health and safety
controls, digital mining technologies
and processes, and low-carbon
energy vehicles.
Anchored in a mutually beneficial
partnership with local communities,
Borden achieved commercial
production on schedule within budget.
At 1,000 square kilometres, Borden’s
land package represents additional
exploration upside, as the deposit
remains open at depth in a favourable
mining jurisdiction.
“Borden opened a new gold mining
district in Ontario and profitably
extended operations at the Porcupine
complex near Timmins,” explains
Newmont CEO Tom Palmer. “In
addition, Borden’s electric underground
fleet eliminate diesel particulate matter
from the underground environment
and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
This will help reduce energy costs,
protect employee health and minimize
impacts to the environment.”
