I would like to use this time to shine a light on the emerging global megatrends that will directly impact our industry, now and well into the future. I am not here today to deliver a 20-minute spiel about Newmont. However, as an industry we do not now, nor will we ever, have the luxury of ignoring societal megatrends and the impacts they have on our workforces, our operations, and our host communities. We also understand the extent to which society, as a whole, is unconscious of its deeply rooted dependency on the minerals we produce. Those of us who work in the resources industry understand and recognize the necessity, value and role that minerals play in our modern way of life and standard of living. I extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in attendance. Thank you to the World Mining Congress for the opportunity to speak with you today.īefore I begin, I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet today, the Nunukul and Yuggera people, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. This week, Newmont's President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Palmer, delivered a speech at the 26th annual World Mining Congress in Brisbane, Australia.ĭuring the speech, Tom discussed how the emerging global megatrends of societal transformation, technological change and geopolitical turbulence are impacting the mining industry now and will continue to do so well into the future.
