At Newmont, our purpose - to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining - has guided our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are incredibly proud of how our global teams have responded to the crisis - and we are very grateful for the sacrifices people have made, and continue to make, to support our business and the communities where we live and work. We place the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees and communities above all else.

An example of this is in Mexico, at Newmont Peñasquito, where our team established infrastructure early on in the pandemic that continues to keep our employees and surrounding communities safe. Our community response included providing thousands of cleaning kits for health clinics and families, tens of thousands of reusable masks and thousands of books for distance learning.

Across the 18 testing sites that we've established throughout Mexico, our teams have performed over 50,000 COVID-19 tests, allowing us to manage the risk of a significant outbreak. We test our people both when they arrive at and depart from our sites so they can return to their families and communities safely.
